This is a 8x8 work in progress.

I am reworking my First Kit Country Girl. This Memory Page was created using this kit. I love this Blue Paper made from a photograph of the Oakridge Sky. The Book was created from a cu template. A Sweet friend helped me make the metal flower with a jewel center.

Great Big Thanks I Am In Round 2 !!!!

First Off I want to Give a Big Thanks To Everyone that Voted for me!!!!
I have another Big Thanks for those of you that Downloaded My Kit and Considered Me. There were so many choices and I am just happy to keep playing & learning. Tomorrow I will bethinking about my color palette and what elements I want to make for The Theme. Then when I get to sit at the computer tomorrow night I will actually make something! he he he.


Here is Day 2 of the next Progressive Scrap at SAS. Mitsybelle is doing a Fantastic Job of Keeping up with all the Scrappers! I received a Beautiful Cluster Frame for finishing my last LO!
First off I went to say I got that cool flourish ( I clipped provided paper to) form June at CenStuff. The Flower Shape Behind The Sepia Tone Photo is frim Deb The Scrappin Cop & the action that makes it look like felt is from Atomic Cupcake. The kit we are recieving pieces from is SAS September Mega Kit on sale right now!
This is my Grand Daughter and she is a Big Sister Now. Wow that makes me Grandma 2 Times.
I put Aleene's Duplos in my walker to get them off the floor for some reason and when I showed her where they when well once she found out that basket with the lid rolled the Fun was on. LOL It was quit entertaining to watch them play. LOL Funny thing is that when Aleene realized I was trying to take pictures of her she kept turning her head and smiling at me. But her Melynda was pushing her around so fast that I kept missing the picture. LOL Well if you know me I got plenty in spite of all the blurry motion shots. LOL

Lookie Here i Received a Giftie!!!
Thanks Tracy of Ambowife Designs!!!
Teddy is so Excited because he wants me to make another page of him. These Colors and Elements will go perfect with the pictures of him sleeping on his bed witch happens to be on the couch! Teddy has lots of Privileges because he learned well from Benny. This Week Teddy has stopped several Seizures by making me take my meds just in time. The other night he Barked at Al and then came running up the stairs. Then he put his nose on my Valium bottle and when I didn't take the hint headed for the computer cables. That Smarty Pants was going to unplug me if I didn't take my Meds. By the way he was VERY RIGHT about me needing that Valium and I am SO GLAD he was SO PUSHY.

Oakridge Update
~~~~
In the Great Desire to make a Guy Kit I decided to complete Mitsybelles Quote Challenge at SAS. I made this LO in 12x12 because it started out at some paper for my new upcoming kit. The Subject of the memory page is a very hot day that my Daughter and Grand Daughter came to visit. My Granddaughter Loves to be outside!

My Page Secrets. It started with one of my Favorite Oakridge Sky pictures then I blended in a Tree from a Camping Trip to Seaquest State Park in Washington. To round out the bottom of the page my yard art Stump became the bottom border. I realize that you can not duplicate any of those things well maybe you can find that Beautiful Tree on a perfect morning. I just wanted you to get an idea how something like this comes together. Maybe this little bit of info lets you know that my mind is always thinking about how an object can turn into a scrapbook page. How is that for Clean Living. LOL

Oakridge Update
*****
We are still working on the Giant Parking Lot in my Backyard. The Project has just progressed into repairing the roof on the Very Old Shed we moved just recently. First up was to repair the damage we caused to the roof moving it. LOL But it survived. Now We are working on getting it reading for new roofing. No one n=knows how long it has been since it had a new roofing but it has been overdue since I bought this place in 2002. So I suppose it is time. A friend has brought me some lath board to replace the damaged ones. He also came by with enough sheets of plywood to sheet the roof. All spend today pulling nails and scrapping off roofing, we can install it tomorrow. I spend the day finishing up the roof repairs for the side we plan on finishing first. Once the roof is water tight on that side it is on to the other side which we plan on making 2 feet wider because the building must grow to house one of Al's toys. I finally learned how to cut the rafters so I can install a facia board. Boy was that an aaaaa daaaaa moment. LOL

Memory Page Of Georges Folks

~~~~

Aleene & Tuffy

While Sending some photos to Georges Family I came across this Photo and Photo Back. Yup you got it I scan in the backs of Photos that Have Writing. It is such a simple way of saving that important info and a Fun way to include hand writing of those we love that are no longer with us. I recognize this writing as Aleenes. Back to the LO. I saw this picture and remembered how much Aleene Loved our horses. This being the case it was only natural to use my new Kit Country Girl to save these photos in a form that I can print and put in a 8x8 album with the other photos of Georges mother.

Happy Designer Birthday QP Freebie!!!!!

Aleene Goat Memory Page
~~~~~Another Memory Page From "In The Yard" by Mitsybelle. Well it isn't such a new kit now I have gotten way behind. She has another Cool Kit out called "In The Den" and it is still On Sale! Back to this Sweet Sweet Memory Page!!! It is Called June Flowers. The Stars of this LO are Aleene the Headliner. Truffles in the Supporting Role and Triscut is our Character actress today.
Aleene Loves to pet the Goats and always heads for the Kids. Since Snickers has gone into I don't need Humans Mood. Well that is unless it is Feeding Time. .. Aleene had to find another Goat to Pet. Believe me she Gave It Her All, Hiking all over the hillside to pet them.
If you are looking at this memory page scratching your head thinking how did she do that. Well Truffles is a clipping mask on a flower from the kit. The Photo matte is a paper from the kit Clipped onto an enlarged flower. The Frame is just pushed and pulled until I liked the shape. The Font is "Cafe Rojo" That has been all Squished and Stretched with a Little Style Here and a Little Style There. The Title has also been Drop Shadowed and Duplicated to get the layered effect.

I Am In The SAS Spotlight

A Memory Page From Scratch
~~~~
Getting Closer To Being a Designer
~~~~I have been working at this memory page for a while now. Tonight while I was finishing up that teedious task of clean up the HD, EHDs and all those pesky BUs I didn't get rid of when I BU again. LOL. Well I came accross this cute little pony that Melynda made me. Then I remembered this picture from just a short while ago. Of course a light came on as I thought about those mommies that prompted me to make a Goat Story Book. So out popped this finished page!
~~~~
Do You Want To Make This Page?
~~~~
I am in the Spotlight of the SAS Newsletter & my gifted to you is everything you need to put your kids in the pasture with my kids! Thats right all you have to do is go read the SAS Newsletter grab my QP from the link. Then plop the Quick Page in your program. Set your extracted picture where you want it. Grab one of 2 grass pngs that comes in the kit. Set the grass on your child. Grab a blending brush set to 300 and brush away at the top of the grass, so it looks like they are really in the pasture. That is it! So Easy and Fun! You will have a Story Book Page of your own! Have Fun With It!! By the way the Goats have names.. The little girl in the front is Carmel, the little girl in the upper right running is Pecan (my Avatar) & the boy on the top of the mountain flying the kite is Rusty. Papa to the kids you have seen in the last few memory pages. Pecan is yet to become a mommy. But I am sure you will see them when she does.

Another Designing Step
~~~~
All these years I have taken photos and others art work and shoveling and messing with them to make my memory pages. I always thought it would be cool to Design my own kits. But didn't want to spend the time making all those elements from scratch. I mean really from scratch LOL. Oh this last week I have learned so much about how these things come together in easy peazy ways that blow what I was doing away!!!! LOL Awh but nothing beats a good element made totally from scratch. So back to today. After recoloring a Grey scale Ribbon on Saturday. Today I thought I would try layering a Grey Flower. So I grabbed a CU Flower from Jodi Watson & some Tissue Paper from Scrappin Cop and started Playing. This is what I made. I think it is pretty cool for my first one! But when I went to show it off it look so lonely. So I dropped my grass from the page above and then disected a vintage stick pin from Skrapper Digitals. Now my 1st Flower looks so Pretty Dancing on my Blog. LOL. Sorry not sharing this today. But the time will come when I will have a nice Freebie for you!Yes I do Copyright everything that goes on this blog. So Greedy Collecters Beware!

Happy Birthday To Me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So To Celebrate I am giving away this Beautiful 8x8 Multi-Photo Quick Page for your Personal Use!

A Few Months Back I had a Great Time Building the original page. Then I spend half a day turning it into a quick page.What a time saver this QP turned out to be while I was making Memory Albums for Christmas Presents. I made 4 albums & in the last month I have printed almost 400 pages. I was surprised at how little ink my Epson R1800 used! I change every cartridge once and 4 cartridges twice, not bad I am lovin this 8x8 size! Thanks to all those that mentioned how much they liked 8x8 albums and why.

The Quick Page info

~~~~~~~~~~~

I made this versatile Memory Page using Forgotten Dreams from Cen's Stuff.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

June aka Cen's Stuff has Given me permission to share this with you. Sadly the kit I used "Forgotten Dreams" is unavailable at this time. :o( I sure hope it becomes available again it is a Beautiful Kit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have 3 versions of the page finished. I am sharing them with you so you can see how versatile it is!

First we have the LO "Rusty Pelican" this is the original that I made the quick page from.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then I used the QP to make this memory page of me in the 1960's
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Memory Page was also made from the Quick Page. When making this page of my Aunt Katie one picture was to narrow for the frame. To solve this little dilemma I used some complementary paper from the Kit "Forgotten Dreams" to fill the frame, then I sandwiched my picture between the paper and the QP. To make it look pretty I took my eraser tool set at 200 and blended the picture background into the paper. Sweet! Also the Word Art Tag Didn't Really "Hit The Spot" for me and how I felt about these Photographs so I applied another tag from the "Forgotten Dreams" and the problem was solved!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My 4th Version of this QP i made today.

I Just couldn't help myself!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that you see how versatile This Little Beauty is

Grab this 8x8 Personal Use Multi-Photo Quick Page Here and Enjoy.
