Besides quilting, photography, painting and making cards, I also love to do mixed media pieces and scrapbook layouts. So, today I’m posting a scrapbook layout from 2016 when our youngest grandson graduated from SK into Grade 1….Yup, they now have graduation ceremonies for this….which Joe found hilarious….but we definitely drove the three hours to attend it. After the graduation we went to the bay for supper and even more fun.
We walked along the pier and then back to the
sidewalk and then back down to the docks. It was a lovely June night so we
didn’t mind one bit. Joe, Finn and Janette decided to rest on these green
chairs that are for the public to use but the sun was very bright and shining
right on them so they didn’t stay there long. All the paper is from the stash.
The journaling is computer generated….I don’t care for my handwriting so I
seldom use it.
The walk along the pier was beautiful. Joe and Finn both love boats so they were thrilled to see some tied up along the docks. They loved this old one and wanted their picture taken showing the entire boat…hence the nice circle around them in the bottom left photo. I tried to tell them they would be small if I got the entire boat in but they didn’t believe me…but when I showed it to them, they then posed for a close-up shot! All the paper and embellishments are from the stash. I seldom follow a sketch. I just wing it.
Here are the two layouts side by side as they will appear in the album.
Postings may or may not be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for awhile. We just found out yesterday that hubby has a blockage in his heart and an irregular heart beat (Afib is the short form for it) and will have to have surgery. So my life could get very busy again. I’ll try my best to keep the posts up though. Art is my therapy and stress reliever!
That’s all for a lovely August day, on Friday, August 23. I’ll be back on Monday with another post. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend filled with sunshine and love.
Cheers
Violet
