Challange at the Retreat

 

So at the Pirates and Pearls retreat I went to, there was a challenge.  We did not know what paper we were going to be given, but  we could take black and or white card stock, adhesive, scissors and paper trimmer.  The photos had to have something to do with, or been taken in 2009.  I took 2 pieces each of white and black cardstock.  We had 30 minuetes to complete the 1 or 2 page layout.

 

Here is my 2 page layout.  There was I think 8 of us that did this challenge.  I had mine done in about 11min.  I know my layout is simple, but I wanted the colors of the pics to stand out.

A Layout done with Studio J

I had so much fun doing these layouts on the computer.  No mess.  Faster.  I will still do traditional pages.
Please be sure and put your consultant information in when you sign up.  Thanks

Wedding Album, Engagement photos

 This is some of the engagement photos that Clint and Julia had taken.  At Klamath Lake.  I had only 40 made of the lower left.  This shows their sense of humor and just a select few invitations had this pic included. 

It was really cold on this day.  Sun may have been out, but still chilly.

Wedding layout; Clint and the Girls

This layout is pics of the "Groom", Clint and the Maid of Honor, Matron of Honor and the bridesmaids. Some candid shots

Again, Using Bella paper.  This paper packet is retiring Dec  31st.

I used Create-A-Shade paint on the flowers to give them shimmer.

 This is a close up of the vellum sticker.  I colored in the flowers and leaves with a blending pen and ink pads in the colors of the wedding.

Another layout for daughters wedding album

The story behind this set of pages is; We had the wedding party on the road taking pics, heard a truck turn onto the road, a diesel and when the truck came into view, noticed it was Grandma in her truck.  Thought it was by the sound, but it couldn't be, that would make her early.  Which she almost never is.  LOL.

 Used paper pack Bella and Bella stickease.  Also used a cuttlebug, brads and liquid glass.
