The Mulberry Tree

Joni brought Chase,  Charley,  and the Chainsaws to the lake.  Our main project was the removal of an old mulberry tree.  Next we went to Council Grove to check out the end of season sales;  then we met Dacia,  Piper and Tristan in Emporia for dinner.   It was a great weekend!

This layout is the left side of a 2 page spread using a template by Anna Aspnes and her stitched overlays.

September at Kahola Lake

For a long time I've been meaning to use Anna's stitched overlays on one of her templates;   today I did it!  These pictures are meant to show the colors that show up this time of year. This is the right side of a 2 page spread. Left side coming up next!

Wedding Picture 1979

This picture was taken by Joni's husband, Rich,  in Emporia, Kansas at Peter Pan Park.  They were actually married in Healy,  Alaska, where they had gone on a backpacking trip!   I made the layout from a scan of the original picture,  using Anna Aspnes' Sampler #1.   Cassie Jones has a custom brush tutorial;  I used it to make my first brush in Photoshop...the small image of Joni on the left.  This could be the start of a whole new hobby!   

Wedding Picture 1954

This layout was put together with elements from Anna Aspnes' Artplay palettes.  Also I "lifted" the general idea from "whatnext" in O'scraps!   I'm not sure who took these pictures,  but I scanned them years ago and have been saving them carefully.   It's time for me to get busy and do something with them!
