Earlier This Summer

So soon we forget.....June was not so hot that we had to stay indoors,  but the grass was growing so fast it was hard to keep up with!  I was delighted that my neighbor Shane and a couple of his buddies wanted to help mow!  There's little or no mowing this month;  everything is turning brown and the trees are shedding their leaves.  This is one of the first layouts I made with Anna Aspnes' magic fotoblendz effects.

Four days in Kansas

I spend most of my time indoors in this kind of weather but these four days I had to venture out there to take pictures of the roofing project.  The temperature was said to be as high as 111 degrees during this time period.  Thank goodness for air conditioning!  For this layout I modified one of Anna's templates...No. 12 doublewide.

I've been seeing stars....

Here's one more page made with the July pictures.  Anna Aspnes has a really cool StarStitched Template that was begging to be used!  Loved it!   Loved using pictures of Tristan and Piper again also!

Back to the 4th of July

I wanted to make another page with the boat parade pictures.  Most of these are from my "Joni Files"...meaning pictures taken with her camera!  The elements and the template are from Anna Aspnes.

Vintage Photos

My greatgrandmother is the subject in this layout.  I have not very many pictures of her.  It is really a fun challenge,  mixing photo restoration with artsy styling in scrapbook pages! This template is Anna Aspnes' Number 29.  Thank you,  Anna!
