July 16 SCENERY

Post by Tamara »

America The Beautiful . . . for the most part we all live in different locations…from East and West to North and South, the USA is filled with beauty . . . both in nature and hearts. We've all seen the beauty of the sunset, the majesty of a thunderstorm, the birds on branches, flowers blooming, the seasons changing, freshly fallen snow, rainbows, majestic mountains, sparkling lakes, wooded paths, ocean waves crashing, dessert blooms. We’ve taken road trips and vacations where we have taken pictures that might be so random they don’t end up on the pages of our books . . . maybe it’s the hot air balloon that suddenly appears in the sky above you, or a sign that brings a smile to your face, maybe a barn quilt painted on an old barn that has seen better days, or even an Amish buggy towing a boat. The beauty goes beyond nature and is seen in the love and kindness of a stranger that helps you after a storm, a kind teacher, the mailman who leaves biscuits for your dog, the neighborhood kids with their lemonade stands, playgrounds, and smiles, the person in the grocery line who lets you go in front of them. In these times when we are dealing with so many negative things in the news, where so many only think of themselves, where our country is experiencing unrest, where truth is up to what an individual wants it to be . . . in these times, I think it would be a great thing to just focus on how beautiful our country is and some of the ways we see her.

Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....

My challenge for you today is to make a layout using any kind of SCENERY.
America the beautiful is just that because of the beautiful and unique scenery that we get to enjoy along the way. You can gain so much inspiration such as a sunset, the beach, the mountains, a lake, a stream. Anything that brings you joy and peace or just an amazing, breathtaking view.

And also try to use something unusual on your layout. I chose to use this corrugated 12x12 piece as my base and some old shaped camping buttons.

Good luck and have fun!

I hope this counts.
I used some Mosaic Moments Grid Paper for the brown background. Then cut some paper into 1 inch squares and added them to the grid paper and used a laser cut design for the title. I like to make these pages for the start of our travel albums.
