Whipps Ledges

 

In June 2016, we went hiking in the Cleveland Metroparks -- Hinckley Reservation -- Whipps Ledges with part of my family members. It was a great hike and afterward we enjoyed a great BBQ!

We were goofing around with our group photo....everyone was looking at or talking on their cell phones on the second page! LOL! Too FUN!

Thanks for taking a look!

Whipps Ledges Calendar Page

I had a bit of fun creating this page. The background is a combination of paper and overlays to create the "dirt" you see on the page. My family took a hike in the Hinckley Reservation Cleveland Metroparks in Ohio back in June 2016...where we got to explore the Whipps Ledges. Beautiful place!

Cabin

 

It's been a few weeks since I created a double-page spread for our 2015 photobook.  Not sure what it was... I just didn't have the motivation to do any pages.  Well, I'm happy to say I got some creativity back.  yay!

Here is page from our evening with our friends at their cabin in the woods.  If you've been following my blog, you might remember that I created a 12x12 calendar page using those cute little hiking boots... along with a few photos.  I thought to keep some elements from the calendar for the double-page spread and changed many items to give it a different feel.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Anita has a great sketch over at MDS Monday this week MDSM112. Here is the link to the challenge:

She wanted us to focus on just one photo and fill the other boxes with Project Life cards or designer series paper.  I took her advice and filled them with Project Life cards from the 'Happiness Is' kit.

I also took advantage of the sale (30% off) of all the My Digital Studio downloads, and bought the Happy Camper Memories download -- which is featured here.

Thanks for taking a look!
