We Are 3 Rainy Days and Waddles

I was visiting the blog of one of our SALSA members, Rachel, a saw her first post which was a cute Small Party Favor...so darling (as all Rachel's work is). I actually had time to try it, so I had to make it. Cute little projects really call to me. The duck is We Are 3 - Waddles - and precolored! The papers are new - Rainy Days.

The sentiment is Fabulous - We Are 3, and I embellished with a bow from my stash. The scalloped circle behind Waddles is cut from Burlap Beach.

                                                

Creative Confetti at Power Poppy

Today I am sharing a card inspired by junk mail!  Power Poppy's Creative Confetti's challenge this week is to create something inspired by an ad, catalog, or circular.  I chose this political circular for inspiration using the colors of gold, blue, and black.

The image and sentiment are from Power Poppy's Bring Home Some Sunflowers set.

Wedding Layout

The papers I used for today's layout are from We Are 3 - Nature Blends and Burlap Beach.

 

Wedding Cake

I designed this layout using We Are 3's Burlap Beach digital paper.  

This is a 12 x 12 layout.  I wanted a ripped look between the solid and patterned papers - but I also wanted to print across the two papers.  So I used GIMP placing the solid over the patterned paper from Beach Burlap.  I then used the erase tool to "erase" the solid paper until I received the torn effect I was looking for.  The titles were then computer generated.

Wedding in June with Bagpipes

Gene and I got married 14 years ago - and I am nearly finished with our wedding album - FINALLY!  A beautiful day at Crossroads Village, a small historical attraction in Genesee County (Michigan).  After taking our guests on a train ride to see the outdoor ceremony, we had a bagpiper escort us through the village to the dinner reception.

 For this layout, I used papers from Burlap Beach (We Are 3).

Wedding Groomsman

The next layout for my wedding album uses background paper from We Are 3 (Burlap Beach).

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.
