PAGED FROM OUR PAST
On July 24th our neighbor went with us to enjoy the town's Pioneer Days celebration. This piece has another blended photo. Love the kit call A Mother's Love by Studio Blagovesta!

Helen and a Friend...
I wanted to enter a contest at Scrapbook Graphic.com. Studio Blagovesta had a kit she offered for free and the challenge was to create a layout using only pieces form the kit. The kit is called Coffee With A Friend". I don't drink coffee but the kit was really fun and, as you can see, really versatile. I found this wonderful picture of my Aunt Helen a a young lady in her photo albums. The kit works wonderfully with the picture. Loved it!

Andy and Rhande..
This was created from a wedding announcement that my neighbor received for her grandson's wedding. Cute couple!! This was created from several different kits but I really loved the final version.  I have wanted to learn to make a photo into a drawing. I found a tutorial in YouTube and it seemed to work pretty well.
 Camping at Tokawanna...
Kris and her family came for a yearly Labor Day camp out and we did have a great time. They helped us get a load of wood for winter. We were really grateful!!! No fires were allowed this year so we were short on 'Smores! Very dry year!!!! I used the pictures from this event to create a layout for Scrap Orchard's Big Apple Challenge for September. This was created with the Challenge template! I have been learning about blended photos. The background paper has a blended photo of out camp site on it! Love our Tokawana property!
Love Yourself...
This was the second part of the Big Apple challenge. There was a Pinterest board created for this challenge and we were to select something from it as a spring board for a layout. I found this saying and really connected to it. This was my layout! And this is one of my baby pictures!!!! Fun, huh!!!
A Boy and His Dog...
My dad has loved dogs all his life. I found this picture in his sister's photo album. I loves it and had to do a piece with it!!! He was such a cute kid!!!
