Schwab Jelly

 

Over the years, my parents have planted and harvested grapes and have made jelly too. I have always been the recipient of this great jelly, but never had the opportunity to make the jelly as I lived out of town then. Now that I live back in Cleveland... this year (September 2017), I was able to participate in the process of making jelly. We harvested the grapes, then washed and removed the vines, then mashed the grapes outside. We took our operation indoors to cook and then can the grapes into grape jelly! I had a wonderful time going through the whole process... and will definitely be doing this again next year!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lewis Ginter Gardens

 

Working again on our 2013 photobook with our trip to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond, Virginia.  Such a beautiful place.... it was lovely just walking around, but we also got to see the butterfly exhibit too -- FUN!!!

I loosely used a sketch I saw on the Sweet Shoppe website.  Here's the sketch:

Now, I know this sketch has a ton of embellishments and whatnot, but I wanted to keep mine simple and showcase the lovely DSP (Designer Series Paper).... along with the photos, of course! =)

The DSP is from the paper pack 'Cottage Wall', and although the light purple color was nice....it didn't quite go with my photos.  I was able to darken the paper up to the color you see here.  Within My Digital Studio, here are the steps to change the color of any DSP: 1) Insert a Photo Box to encompass your entire page 2) Select the DSP and bring it in your photo box 3) Choose 'Recolor' in the Design Center (right-hand side of the page) 4) Choose the color you'd like to change your DSP to 5) Select 'ok'.  I chose Concord Crush for my color choice.

Thanks for taking a peek!
