magnolia ridge layouts

here are the ones i did at magnolia ridge:

sketch 4 for tamara's site

here is a layout with a mini folder for my journaling. another sketch made by tamara. stitching done for the wisconsinscrappers.com challenge also.

lori's cj pages

For Lori's CJ we had to have a water related item and a structure item from our hometown. So I did the Fox River and the old drawbridges. We also have a train tressel bridge that still operates.

Dawn's CJ pages (The devil made me eat it)

This is my layout for Dawn's CJ. The CJ is "The devil made me eat it". We have to list the most disgusting thing we ever ate. Hopefully nobody has been on the Fear Factor show and eaten anything with moving legs.... ugh.

more layouts from Tamara's sketches

Here is one more of my layouts from Tamara's sketches.

tamara's sketches

I have been doing some layouts based on Tamara's sketches. It has been fun. Here is another one of them.

oval pictures gone bad

I absolutely am not a lover of having pictures cropped into shapes. Occasionally I do it (like in the previous zoo layout), but not the norm.

These pictures are from a collage portrait that I got in a package deal from Olan Mills years ago. I never put it in a frame because I always hated that they were a bunch of ovals on a white background. So i finally took the plunge and cut them up only to find that I couldn't get them cut into squares and rectangles at all. Oops. Now what? So with a lot of DecoArt Snow Writer and a heck of a lot more imagination than I thought I had, this is the end result. I kind of like it, but maybe that is only because I know where it has been..... ugh.
