I created this layout for the template workshop...but it works here also. I was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, USA. Columbia is the state capitol.

This layout could serve a double purpose...workshop and All About Me. I used a purchased kit...Travelogue by Connie Prince. I also rotated the two larger photos. The masked photo is of the State House. The historical markers tell of the burning of Columbia. During the Civil War Columbia was attacked and burned by General Sherman. The bronze stars mark 6 places where artillery hit the State House on February 19, 1865. My high school was about 3 blocks behind the state house. I love my home state!

They are friends and pickleball players. We spent a fun-filled weekend at the beach!

Not sure I like this...but here it is. Wordart by Robin Sampson, Greatest Gifts kit, Digital Scrapbooking. Papers by Saskia Veldhoen, Classy Christmas Kit, Digital Scrapbooking. Green papers are simply a color with texture.

I just used this template for the wedding layouts. Here it is for ice cream which was reallly frozen yogurt. The text is wordart...I can't find where it came from...I did add a bevel. Scollop paper is from Digital Scrapbooking and even though, I just used it, I now can't find who created it.
