Galla Twins at 7 months

These two pages go side by side in my album. With such a simple layout the page goes together quickly.

I put in several layers on the pages. Using the opacity filter to give good depth.

With the Image Editor I adjust the lighting to reduce shadows and used the Perfectly Clear image tool.

Abigail Visits Grandma

In July I was down at Rebecca's for a day trip  and to pick up Keziah and Christianna, when suddenly plans changed!  Christianna stayed for a bit longer and Abigail came home with me!  That week she was with us was full of simple daily activities.  

These in-the-moment activities are what I want to record.

No special techniques or designs here.

Although there are three layers of paper.

The top two I used the blending tool.

Simple easy layout.

Cluck Cluck

On occasion when the Levesque family is out of town, we get the opportunity to help them out. Lydia helped at the house while they were in Maine this summer.  Watering the plants and feeding the chickens.  Sometimes one or two of the other girls would walk up with her. The bunnies and ducks would also be making their appearance.  These pictures tell it all.

Sometimes you don't want to use any paper or embellishments.  Just let the pictures speak for themselves -- and that's just what I did here. 

I used a text box shape for my journaling box which worked out just perfect for the location. Then I put a glow behind the words to help them pop off the page.

Twins at Eight Months

The Galla twins turned 8 months. I am so amazed of how time flies by so quickly.  They are quickly turning into little people.  The baby days will soon be gone for Jonathan and Emma.

I like to keep my pages quick and easy.  For this one I copied and pasted the background papers from The Anatomy of a Salad.  Then I just plugged the pictures in, zoom, moved, cropped. There's not much to say on this page filled with faces!

National Ice Cream Day

This day rolls around every year.  What a great time to stop in the Walpole Creamery for some delicious ice-cream.

This is another easy page with not too much time in details.  Little changes and enhancements really make a page stand out.

Used the 3-D filter on yellow ribbon, change the color of the trim on the ice-cream cones and banner using the wand tool, created a stand off the page with inserting font shape, layering, and 3-D.

The Anatomy of a Japanese Salad

Lydia traveled to Japan in 2012 to help a missionary family. She picked up a few Japanese meals while over there. This Japanese Salad was one of them.  She made it for just our family one evening. Then in July while the Galla's were visiting she made it again.  Everyone enjoyed it. I think this will be added to our regular selection of meals. 

Don't forget to document the everyday happenings!

This page is a very easy click and fill layout.

The background is a solid tan color paper. I reduced the opacity of the top layer of printed paper. This gives a very subtle effect without the design being over powering.
