Wicked Halloween

Heather, Joan, Andy, Ani, Robby and Christine went to a Halloween party this year and these are some photos of them in their costumes. Heather and Joan were both witches. Ani was a devil and Andy was "Phil" from the movie "Kickin 'n Screamin". Robby and Christine were survivors from the television show "Survivor". They all looked great in their costumes. The sketch I used was from Inspired Blueprints.

Festival of Ballooning

Welcome to my blog and I'm glad you stopped by. These layouts are from photos taken this summer at the Festival of Ballooning in Readington, New Jersey. Rob, Heather, Joan and I all jumped in our Jeep Wrangler at 4:00 am in the morning and drove to the festival. We were the first to get there. We parked in a field and walked through the muddy grounds to the festival. Rob and I had sneakers on so we were okay but Heather and Joan were wearing sandles. Their poor feet were so muddy. When we got to the entrance they used tissues to try and clean up their feet. It was so worth it getting there that early because the balloons were amazing. They were everywhere you looked filling up with air and we walked all around them. We took some fabulous pictures. I've never seen anything like it in my life ~ there were so many balloons. When they were all in the sky it was awesome. I'm having a lot of fun scrapping these photos ~ I have so many!

Ernest Hemingway

We visited Ernest Hemingway's home in Key West. It was a beautiful old home which was surrounded by a brick wall. We were told the bricks used to build the wall came by ship. They would start building the wall until they ran out of bricks and would stop until more bricks came which could be months. It took a long time to build the wall because the property was the length of the block. The bricks were all different sizes. We didn't go into the house but enjoyed seeing it. I used a layout from Inspired Blueprints for this page.

License to Chill

Well here it is going to be the first day of fall tomorrow and I'm still scrapping summer pictures. I always seem to be a season or two behind on scrapping pages. These are photos from our summer vacation in Key Largo, Florida. I used the Cosmo Cricket "Snorkel" line of paper and embellishments. It's perfect paper for the summer. I used the Stampin Up! "Just Beachy" stamp set to make the fish and station wagon with the surf board. I stamped, used colored pencils, cut out, inked and pop dotted them before adhering to the page. For the bubbles on the fish I used Cloud Nine "Rain Dots". Thanks for checking out my pages.

Heather's 24th Birthday

These photos are from my daughter, Heather's, 24th birthday. We celebrated a few days early because we were leaving for Key Largo for vacation. She received this beautiful luggage from us and I'm so glad that she really loved it. I scrapped these pages using Imaginisce paper line "All Kinds of Happy". The page with the star in the background was done for Inspired Blueprints #29 using the same paper.

Dreams

This are photos from the "Dream Along with Mickey" show in front of Cinderella's Castle in Disney World. I did this two page layout for Inspired Blueprints #26. Thanks so much for checking out my blog!

Expedition Everest

Expedition Everest was a layout I did for a sketch on Inspired Blueprints. This was taken at Animal Kingdom in Disney. I loved these papers from CTMH.

Mother's Day

These layouts are for Inspired Blueprints LO #24 that I made into a two page LO. I used the "Lillian" paper line from Crate Paper and embellishments. These are photos we took before going out to dinner at Nauna's on Mother's Day. Andy was on vacation in Punta Cana so he's missing from these photos. It was a very nice Mother's Day.

Fall Football

My daughter Heather and her friends went to a Giants football game last fall where these pictures were taken. This two page LO was done for Inspired Blueprints LO #25. I used the Rusty Pickle paper line "Pashmina". I thought the colors in these papers went beautifully with the photos.
