Finally, here are the last three layouts from L.O.A.D. I was hoping to get back to card making this weekend, but I spent all of my creative time trying to get my iPhoto photos (some 16,000) organized into folders to import into Lightroom. I got through 2008-2009, but I have a long ways to go!
Maria and I met up well over a year ago, and I had yet to scrap these photos of us before we went in to have breakfast together. This is as close to a digital page as I'll probably ever get. The template is from Kitty Designs at O'Scraps and all I did was print it out, put it on a piece of Teresa Collins World Traveler paper and add a old brad from Making Memories.
This layout resulted from a prompt about road trips, but I decided to scrap some of the many photos I take out the window while we're flying. I do anything I can to distract myself from a flight. Another template from Kitty Designs, papers from My Minds Eye and Bazzil, SEI alpha, Studio Calico clouds, and an Amy Tangerine brad.
Journaling reads:
I am NOT a fan of air travel. First, I am afraid of heights, and taking off and landing give me the willies. Second, it seems there are more delays than ever in the last few years. We’ve missed flights, had to find hotels at 10:00 at night in strange cities (along with hundreds of other stranded travelers), and spent hours sitting in airports. Fortunately, we both enjoy doing crosswords which somehow makes the time pass more quickly. A captivating book helps, too. Third, there are times when our flights don’t even warrant a jet. I really don’t like prop commuter planes, but on our last trip, this turned out to be the smoothest flight of all. Go figure. Nonetheless, my anxiety is definitely higher when I see a plane like the one we took from Medford to San Francisco in January. I DO, however, like looking out the window at the vast changes in landscape as we fly across country. A sunset flying into Atlanta, the Rocky Mountains, the vast red rocks of the southwest, the San Mateo bridge flying into San Francisco, and a view of Mount Rainier flying into Vancouver makes the flight much more interesting. I might as well get used to all of it now that both my kids live too far away to make driving convenient.
I got inspired one night to start cleaning/purging in my studio (once again) and came upon this layout I must have completed at a CKC class. I have no idea who sponsered the class or where the papers came from, but I had already laid out these two photos for another layout and decided to use them here.
I still have some layout ideas percolating in my head from other L.O.A.D. prompts so keeping up with my one layout a week goal shouldn't be too hard.
