Huckleberry Railroad Travel Layout

Some of the ladies from the Eclips Users Group met through Zoom yesterday to play with paper.  This is my make.

A Beautiful Moment

Arggh!  I think I have hit the wall with scrapbook layouts!  Losing mojo - way behind.  Anyways, here is another layout for my wedding album - I will continue because this is the third time I've started my album and I refuse the quit this time!  This photo my photographer caught of the train conductor bowing his head in prayer is one of my favorites.  I ran into the conductor a few years later who told me he has it hanging in his office.  

June is for Weddings

Today I have a scrapbook layout to share...I know! Right?  Does this not shock you?  These photos aren't some of my best from our wedding - but I love the look on my face and I don't have many photos with my beautiful train.

Family Wedding Layout

Very little needs to be done to create a quite nice layout.

Creativity with Digital Papers

Another layout for my wedding album - 12 years late!  I used two collections on this piece - Beach Burlap and Distress Burlap.  I played around a little with the Beach Burlap here - and will have to do more in the future.  I find that digital collections always have such vibrant colors when I see them online - yet when I print them, the colors often seem so faded - and any subtle prints nearly disappear.  When I photograph my work, the colors lose even more of their intensity.  So for my middle layer here, I darkened the digital paper in Photoshop - much more vibrant color...with the "crackle" design adding just enough colors to bring out my layout.  But, alas, another decision to make when printing my paper - when to darken....lol!

Anniversary Card

Hi, All!

Today I am with my hubby celebrating our 11th anniversary on our annual train trip - this year from Albuquerque to Santa Fe.  I always have a hard time making cards for my hubby - but I did get some last-minute inspiration the other day.

Today's card features a Wanted Poster with a pop-up image of the train at Huckleberry Railroad where we were married.  I'm loving my gun-toting silhouette at the bottom since my anniversary gift for my hubby is a gun-cleaning kit.  I hope you enjoy!

And perfect timing to enter one of the few masculine cards I make into Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge - ATG goes with a twist...Male.
