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!

My Grungy Garden

This was made with Anna Aspnes doublewide Template #12. The pictures were taken in August....I was meaning to show how grungy my rock garden looks after all the things it's been through this hot summer. Seems like there are still spots of beauty to be found just the same. I'm glad!

August Second Week

It was so nice there were times when I turned off the air conditioning! How wonderful! Anna Aspnes Template No. 6 inspired this doublewide layout. It's the first time I played with cardboard! Tutorial was by Cassie Jones with elements by Katie Pertiet. Text paths were from Patty Knox. I'm loving all these new things!

More Learning Adventures

I followed another Cassie Jones tutorial with elements by Katie Pertiet.   The picture is one of Joni's from last March when we went to Padre Island.  I meant to use a pelican but couldn't resist this picture-perfect gull!
