Masquerade Keyboard

 

Looking through Pinterest for a musical birthday card, I came across a design using candles for the black keys on a piano/keyboard. Such a cute idea and great for my brother-in-law's birthday card.

I designed this within My Memories Suite digital software. Using lines from the 'Happiness Is' Project Life Stamp Brush Set. The Candles and Notes are from the MM8 Embellishments - 'Totally Awesome Day Musical Notes' and 'Masquerade Candle Melting'. The sentiment is made from the Word Art function within the software.

Thanks for dropping by!

Mugrage Park 2019

Working on another scrapbook page, and another park that we explored in the Medina County Parks system. We have been to this park before.... for a family reunion, but we hadn't walked the trails there. So this time we did! It was busier than the other parks we visited... mostly with people walking their dogs. It was a lovely day to get out of the house.

I used someone else's layout design to create the one you see here. This one was a layout I found on Pinterest... yet the website that it is directed to is no longer available (scrapbook123club.com). Here's the page I got inspiration from:

Chamberlins 2019

 

In August 2019, we were a part of the celebration for my neighbor's and friend's 70th wedding anniversary. What an achievement!

I was honored to create the invitations for the event... and Mike and I loved being their to celebrate and to take photos.
