At the Honey Run Waterfall

We went hiking at the Honey Run Waterfall in Knox county, Ohio a few months back. It might only be a fraction of the size of Niagara Falls, but it was one of the prettiest waterfalls I've seen. It's not very well advertised and sits off a back road in the middle of nowhere. I had just got my new Canon dSLR so I took a lot of pictures to play with all the different settings.

I made the top layout with Miki's The Grove kit.

The second layout was made with the kit Mossy from Scrapgirls

Another gift for those who wander in :)

I'm offering as a gift the papers and alpha that I had put together back when I tried to make my own kit. Some of the base elements require the purchase of license so those are on hold for the moment but rather than let the papers and alpha gather virtual dust on my hard drive, I decided to go ahead and share them with you now.

So here are the previews:

There are six papers in the set sized 12x12, 300 ppi

The alpha includes 26 capital letters plus , . & ( )  ? and numbers 0 - 9

Please let me know if the are any problems with the downloads.

Enjoy :)

So peaceful...

I can't resist snapping pictures of Brandon when he is asleep. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to sleep that soundly?

This was an easy layout. The papers were already beautifully stacked and embellished. I just had to frame the picture, add a few more stars and the "peaceful" tag, and add a wee bit of text. I think it took me all of ten minutes to make (five of which was looking for a font I liked).

Kit used: Moonlit Nights
Font is Tall Paul from dafont

Back to scrapping after technical difficulties...

I love my big beast of a computer, but in PC years, it's a dinosaur. A few months back it started crashing on me, then eventually it refused to come on at all. I would push the power button and it would just sit there and beep. Took a bit of sleuthing to track down the issue - the RAM chips were fried. But hey, good excuse for a memory upgrade :)

So now the beast lives again and I'm back to indulging in what is quickly becoming my favorite hobby...


Last Saturday was such a beautiful Fall day that we decided to take a road trip and ended up at the Marblehead Lighthouse on Lake Erie. I took this picture of my youngest daughter as she sat on the limestone rocks and watched the waves roll in. I think the picture has a very dreamy, hopeful quality to it that I hope I've managed to convey in this layout.

The kit is My Beach
The mask used can be found here
I got the quote from this handy website (I always seem to find a quote that says exactly what I need here)
The font is Treasure Map Deadhand which can be downloaded at UrbanFonts
