CREATE

Here's my latest project for my Design Team. Given the word "create" and multiple scrapbook papers and embelishments, I decided not just "create" a word decorated with paper, but a living, interchangeable piece that can continue to showcase your creativity.

I also wanted to show how you can take a favorite photo and display it in three different ways all in one project.

This is my beautiful granddaughter who loves taking photos and scrapbooking. It's my salute to her. She's nine and growing up to become a very opinionated young lady.

ARCHITECTURAL ALPHABETS

You are surrounded by art and the potential for art everywhere. Look at the trees, the buildings, the fences, signs, etc. and you'll see what I mean. The first time I saw architectural alphabet photos, I knew I could find the same here in the Lake Charles area.

TIME TO EXPLORE THE TREASURES OF LOUISIANA

No, the aliens did not pick me up and bring me to a new planet. I've been very busy.

This layout is the August Scrapeno Project. Inspired by Nottoway Plantation, it was very gratifying to showcase one of the American Castles in my journey this year through Louisiana via scrapbooking.

SUNSET AT POVERTY POINT

These photos were taken at Poverty Point Reservoir State Park in Delhi Louisiana. It's a beautiful park. It was really nice to stay in a cabin while working instead of a stuffy hotel.

BROCK'S BEACH

This is another version of an earlier design with the new Graphic 45 On The Boardwalk Paper. This time I added the fence, new scalloped border punch, new tattered angels beach chipboard cutouts, a real sand dollar, fibers in the fence and with the tulle along with the "Beach" word cutout. These cutouts are great. This company also makes sports words and sports ball slices. You'll have to wait to see those in a later post. Lots of hand tearing and inking.

SWEET ANGEL

Inspired by Gabrielle P. from the My Creative Scrapbook Team, this is my version.

Love my monthly kits and love having someone else pick my papers and embelishments for me.

THIS IS MY LOUISIANA

Scrapeno April project, This Is My Louisiana was created using brouchures plain cardstock and the cricut expression. Each layout came out different because everyone chose photos that best describes what Louisiana means to them. The mat on the left will house my journaling. Each of the Fleur de lis on the left represents towns/cities in Louisiana that are significant to me. I also included additional fleur de lis on the collage to signify these cities. The moss is compliments of my friend Terri Crochet. She took cheese cloth and sprayed it with Tattered Angels mist. Thanks Terri.

I really enjoyed designing the creating this layout.
