Welcome to Chamberlain

Still feverishly working on my Scrapbooking Outside the Pocket class over at Big Picture Classes before starting a new one this week. What was I thinking? Crazy, I know. But I do enjoy them. And since all our local scrapbook stores have closed down, it's just about my only option. 

So this one follows two different designs from the class. One is the T design and the other is Diagonal. Can you see which one is which??? I made a few cutting errors which sent the design a little wonky but I think the message is still there.

These are photos taken in Chamberlain, South Dakota, during our two visits. I was overwhelmed by gazing at the wide Missouri. And I loved the great Neon signs on the old highway which was the original east-west route through South Dakota. This layout covers both. Thanks for taking a gander.

Capture the Good Times

Our third assignment in Monica Bradford's class is to create a layout with a diagonal design using pocket cards. Still whittling away at my one lonely set from We R Memory Keepers called Chalkboard. (Have no fear, I have now purchased several more kits so you should see some variety in the future assignments). I layered them onto a base paper from Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm. The stamps and die are from My Favorite Things. Photo of Mallory and me taken on the couch in Scottsdale when she settled onto my lap for a nap. Still my little girl. 

Tiyospaye

The second assignment this week in Monica Bradford's great class Scrapbooking Outside the Pocket called for a T-design layout. I used digital images from the Becky Higgins Kerri Bradford Cinnamon kit printed on my inkjet printer. Not overwhelmed with the quality but it gets the job done. I may try glossy photo paper next time. The photo of my Mom in Chamberlain, SD, before a Tiyospaye Banquet at Cedar Shore Resort on behalf of St. Joseph Indian School. I like this design a lot and will use it again even though I'm not a fan of one photo pages. There will be more photos and words on the facing pocket page. Thanks for surfing by.
