Sisterly Love

Another layout that I was trying something new. The background paper is kind of boring, so I used acryllic paint, and diluted it. I used it to color in the yellow rose and leaf. On the left side, you can see where I tried it with pink and it didn't turn out so well. The red rose is a die cut.l
I think this is a cute picture. After I started the layout I realized that the two of us (I'm on the left, my younger sis on the right) look a bit like two children approaching a gingerbread house... LOL.
Also, this layout was put in next to another layout that also had the title of Sister. So I added an -ly love to the title.

Twins?

No, Cousins. A pic of myself and my cousin L when we were about 2 maybe? We have matching dresses. She was born about 2 months after I was born.
This is another layout where I tried something and wasn't thrilled with the result. I put on the pink paper lines where there had been lines in the background paper. It doesn't look as good as I thought it would. Hey, at least I try new stuff.
Also has a slide mount which was a challenge on one of the groups I'm on. I keep joining more, and they get harder and harder to keep track of which is which.

Myself as a little girl

The picture on top is another of my favorite pictures.

Li'l Me

On the lower left is one of my favorite pics of me. I didn't even realize it existed until recently, when my older sister sent it to me. I'm sure I had seen it before at some point but obviously forgot about it.

Circles

More pics of me as a little girl.

I'm a Walkin'

I tried something a little different on this one. I put on the extra square to focus the eyes on the pictures. I can't say I was too pleased with the results. This was also the layout when I realized that I have to go with short titles. That only on 2 page layouts should I allow myself the luxury of long titles.

Nazzie Nap

When I was at Mt. Vernon Nazerene college, we used to talk about Nazzie naps on Sunday afternoon. It kind of stuck with our family. Ex is sleeping.

Sister's wedding

Another of the ones for my ex.

Canning anyone?

In the one pic I am in a canning kettle. I was probably 3 or 4. Obviously much smaller.

Family at Christmas

Good pics of my family in 1963 or 1964. Another of some of our presents.

Nephew

Another one for my ex. I sent the book off... yeah! I did find more pics to scrap but that can wait for another time.

Diet Coke

One of mpy favorite pics of ex. He is pointing at a Diet Coke can. We always joked that it could have been an advertisement for Diet Coke.

The Magic Kingdom

Ex and his younger sister outside the entrance to the Magic Kingdom.

Sunny Days

These pics were taken near a Walmart parking lot. One thing I loved about Arizona was the 300 sunny days a year.

Feet First

I love the feet. I did a swap with T, she sent me the feet.

3 Brothers

Another of the ones for my ex. Of him and 2 of his natural brothers.

College Dude

Yes, another of the ones I'm doing for you know who.

While I Wait

You can't see it too well, but the person is waiting for the computer to do something.

Meet the S.....

Another of the 8 1/2 x 11 layouts I'm doing.

Another layout of eldest daughter

This will be the first page of the second album. It could be sub-labelled afghan page. In the first one is the afghan that her paternal grandmother made for her father. In the second one is an afghan that was made by someone for me when I was born.

Graduation, part II

Ex again in cap and gown, apparently at a party in his honor.
I'd love to hear comments on whether you like this kind of crooked on the page. I almost didn't place it like that because it goes against my grain somehow. I like it now...

Graduation, part I

Ex in cap and gown. The cap and gown were done with the Design Studio for Cricuts. Someone else made them. With permission, I was also able to use them.

Meet the Family, part II

Ex's brother Gus. His other younger brother was there although he isn't in either picture.

Meet the Family, part I

First meeting in 17 years. I could tell the story but it really isn't mine to tell.

Jailbirds

8 1/2x11". Picture of someplace in St. Augustine, Florida, where there was a cage.

Florida

8 1/2x11" Swimming in Florida.

My Sisters

Another 8 1/2x11" layout. The green oval says big smile. The circle below the pic says family.
