Fishing in Alaska

Here is the inspirational photo Pixels and Paper for July.  The criteria is winter.

Here is my creation.  I inspired by the fog and water of this photo. I used a photo from my son's fishing excursion while in Ketchikan, Alaska. I used the white of winter with the hints of blue since these colors reminded me of what winter is where we live.

Family in November

Here is a photo from last Thanksgiving.
The challenge at Challenge YOUself is to use geometric shapes.  I really had fun with these.

Family Store

My parents' have owned a gas station and convenience for over 20 years.  I figured it was time to take  a photo of it and scrap and keep this in our memories.

I used this sketch from Turtle Soup

I was inspired by this photo by Anna Collins titled Top Hat Tiger from ArTastic.  Their challenge was to use black and white and 1 color.  I chose green.

So if you need some inspiration to scrap this month check out these 2 scrap challenge blogs.

Finally back to scrap

It has been about a month since I have been able to scrap.  I had finger surgery at the end of April and had to rest my hand for a while and then life just got in the way.

Today  I am happy to share the challenge at Pixels and Paper.

Here is the inspirational photo.

Here is what I created.

It was the barn door that caught my attention in this photo.  I used a photo of Sarah Palin's childhood home in Skagway, Alaska I took last summer.  

I sanded and inked most of the edges of my accent papers.

You have until the end for the month to join this challenge at Pixels and Paper.  The criteria is distressing for this challenge
