WELCOME TO MY PERSONAL GALLERY!

These pages are created using kits and elements from various designers. I create most of my pages in 8.5 x 11 landscape orientation and use scrapbooks that have the same long landscape orientation.

Papers, ribbon and tag are from "Jordan's Sandy Beach" by Heather Manning.

Papers, folders and staple from "Crushin' on My Little Man" by Amanda Rockwell. Journaling mask by me.

Paper from "Crushin' on My Little Man" by Amanda Rockwell. Film strip from "Films Curls 2" by Kathryn Estry.

Paper and elements from "Explore" by Jennifer Trippetti.

Ever have a photo that is just perfect and perfectly wrong at the same time? I just melt from the look on his face, but the background is horrible! So an extraction was in order! Papers and ladybug from "Strawberry Delight" by Annie Manning. Tree from "Serendipity" by Amanda Rockwell.

And so I then had to document that awful background, of course, and show the other precious expressions and explain just why I couldn't pass up an opportunity to use these sweet photos! Paper from "Strawberry Delight" by Annie Manning.

Paper from "Neutral Solids" by Shandy Vogt. Watercolors from "Watercolor Overlays, Volume 2," by Happy Scrap Girl.

The one photo showing the entire group with the director turned out great except for one thing; my son was moving and was blurred! So I enlarged the photo on the left and stretched the bleachers because I wanted to use "vellum" to journal on but needed the photo to fill the entire space. I then applied a dry brush filter to blur the entire photo and hid the large black speaker in the photo with a tag. Papers and elements from "A Shabby Season" by Tracy Collins. "Vellum" by me.

Now here's an example of being long-winded. These pages cover the beginning of the garden in April to "harvest" time later in the year. But I thought it would make more sense to put these photos together and tell one story instead of making separate layouts. I found the neat fruit label on the internet and used its red color for other elements.
