This is page 2 of Grama Louise's book. I used water color pencils and an iridescent pearl acrylic paint on the background paper. I cut up my picture of her family boat. (The boat picture was a copy of the original, as I can't bring my self to cut up old pictures!!!) I typed up the story she told of this with a old type writer font. The next page, page 3, is similar! Now, I am on to page 4...


This was another picture I took while I was in Buffalo for my granddaughter's baptism. We got to go to Niagra Falls and autumn was in full force!!
I loved doing this piece!! I actually had to scan a very large picture in four pieces and stitch them together in Photoshop. I added a digital frame that you can just barely see to and changed the color to a brown. The frame was so fun to do!! I wanted to continue the layout onto the frame and I think the results are great!!
I was in New York City last year but only briefly. I saw so many things and I took lots of pictures. This was one of my favorites of Grand Central Station. I have to say... New York is amazing... I was in awe!!! My only regret was that I didn't visit Ellis Island. I wanted to see my grandparents names on the "wall".
