The Lily Pad - June Formula Challenge

This is my take on the June Formula challenge.  I used products from Jazzmin's Sunkissed kit, RYoung's Plain Addict3 and AWolf's Paper Strips.

June 2011 Challenge for ACOT

The challenge was to create a layout about something that makes you happy.  For me, it's RETIREMENT.  I used the Artsy Layered Template 25 by Anna Aspnes, and various papers and elements from SAS's Making Memories and Tranquility kits.

Hopefully I'll be posting more

I'm RETIRED!  With any luck, there will be more posts in the future.  Got one challenge I'm working on and the retirement layout to do (2 birds with 1 stone, of course.)

Found something I did last year

I haven't put all my 'creations' on my blog.  Just discovered this two page entry from Jessica Spragues Pen Tablet Basics class.

This shows our trip to Phoenix in 2009 when we visited with grandchildren (Tanner and Kennady) and toured the area.

Digi-In-Deeper - Lesson 1

First lesson of the Digi-In-Deeper class by Jessica Sprague.  We learned how to create a photo mask using brushes, create a polkadot pattern brush, extract an item from a photograph, create two-tone stripes and a starburst pattern and how to tweak letter spacing (kerning.)

Log Your Memory - Week 1 Challenge

Hope I'm not too late - but I think they start on Mondays.

Supplies I used: Shimelle Lane - Top Ten Lists, Green Bulb Gang - the flourishes in the corners, and Brandy Buffington - Destination Anywhere.  The handwriting is my own using a Bamboo Fun and photoshop brush setting (hard, round, don't remember the size)  The 2011 is modified using Photoshop CS5.  The picture of a person is obviously me, the digital scrap kit preview is the mini version of my Land of Enchantment kit that I hope to have finished for the centennial next year.  The picture of the tall ship was taken on our 2010 cruise that I want to get the videos put into a show using Premier Elements 9.  Lots to learn this year and lots to lose as well (weight and clutter.)  Wish me luck.  Francine
