Scrapping in Texas

the same photo done two ways

I really love this photo...how many people have such a great shot of their Dad dressed as a cowboy...particularly a Dad who has spent his entire life living in New Jersey! I find it amazing how different a photo can look when you use different backgrounds and embellishments. So I have posted two of my favorite pages...enjoy!

fixing up old pages

One of the things that I like about this site is that they have lots of new free art content for us to down load and use. I am always looking for ways to improve my scrap pages, and sometimes a new background or embellishment triggers something and I get creative. Below are two pages that I did recently...however, the new 4th of July collection had some things that just made me have to redo this page in red, white and blue...nothing better than Lexington green to put on a patriotic page. While I liked the old page, I must admit that I love the new page.

Father's Dad

Well, Dad is nearly 80 and I wanted to do a Father's day page that he (and I) would get a kick out of. Now I love old cars, and Dad has owned some beautys in his day...so I figured I would combine the two to make my father's Day tribute. Unfortunately, he now owns a "pimped out" dodge Mini-Van (which they totally love), but it would not make such a fine scrapbook page. So I settled on some the the cooler cars he owned way back when. I of course used a vintage photo of dad and some of Gigi's neat Fathers day collection elements. I like the results quite a bit, and Dad got to talk about his favorite cars...the winner was the 1952 Packard...gotta find some photos of that baby!
