Scrap Time

Credits: Template and Serendipity Add On kit from

suzyqscraps.com

There was a challenge at logyourmemory.com using the template and kit from SuzyQ Scraps.  I was looking at the gallery on Log Your Memory and each layout was quite different using mostly the papers and elements of what was supplied. The journaling on my page is about a stroll in Central Park: "It was my good fortune that I went back and got my umbrella for our trip to New York City. Many people were using their umbrella during the wet, heavy snow storm. I have never experienced that."

On Friday, we went to the Broadway performace of Mamma Mia in New York City and on Sunday we watched the movie. Fun, fun, fun!

Movie Time

We saw the movie "Edge of Dark" with Mel Gibson.  It was interesting to see landmarks in the movie that we have been to during our travels here.

Class Time

Took me awhile to do this layout (didn't track the length of time). A little frustrating but once I got past that, quite excited on how it turned out.  This template is from the Up and Running course at jessicasprague.com and learned about:
- sizing, nudging, aligning photos
- added a title using the lasso tool, change colour, align letter spacing
- used the custom shaped tool for bullet points in the text listing
- used the ellipital marquee tool for drawing ovals around month/day/year, changed thickness and colour
- and last but not least a taste of what brushes are and how they are used.
Cool!
