CHALLENGE 8

Journaling:
I was surprised how many States we had traveled through when I started adding the highlights to the map!
We traveled over 4,000 miles in October 2008. This photo taken at Mt. Rushmore was one of the very few photos we have with us in it!

I have tons of scenic photos of all our trips...have promised myself I will take more next time with one or both of us in it! Seems we keep going through the same States...we will have to head East or West if we want to get to the other States...lol!

Journaling
This is one of the first picture I saw of you. It was taken the weekend you, Bryce, and Dad went to the State Fair with Tonia. Since then, you have become my new GRANDDAUGHTER and it has been fun getting to know the little girl behind this mask!

One of my favorite memories so far is the day Reese was born and you came to the hospital to see her.
We had not gotten to spend much time with each other at this point. Even so, when you saw me you ran up to me, jumped in my lap, and gave me a big hug!

CHALLENGE 2
This was quite the "challenge" for sure...but I got all the steps done.
 I have never used so many fonts on one page before...it was fun playing with them and I loved the English111 Presto BT font I used for "I"



I washed the tablecloth and the gold paint faded...so disappointed. DD paper scraps and does an amazing job with her journaling...thus she got elected to write on the tablecloth.  She lives out of town and I didn't dare try to print on the table even following what little still shows...that's one reason I like to digiscrap...lol!  Here's a closeup of the tablecloth with what I added above the faded part...just wanted to be above board with you! 
 
 
CHALLENGE 1
Ok...we have talked about 2 hours on the phone...learning even more about each other and brainstorming. Now off to find a LO to scraplift...there are so many awesome LOs to choose from in Qadirah's gallery. Be back later with my LO for this first challenge! Here it is...love this month's Club Kit and one of the pictures Qadirah sent me was so perfect to use with the kit!
 
Journaling
A name on my computer screen...one that I had never pronounced
out loud but I knew it well!
Qadirah and I are both CT Members at Deco-Pages. From her LOs and comments there, I learned that she had a very sunny and upbeat personality... that she has some wonderful children and some adorable grandchildren. That’s one thing we both have in common.  Once we started this challenge, we discovered that we both began our digital scrapping adventure at Deco-Pages and joined within a month of each other. We have since also learned that we both have worked in large Texas cities...she in Houston and I in Dallas and that we both have worked for oil and gas companies.  
 And without a doubt we are both addicted to digiscrapping...it‘s therapy for whatever ails ya!
Happy Thanksgiving
The One I Love
