Something Nautical

Rina has assembled a little "Something Nautical" for all the sea-faring, boat-loving, yacht-sailing lovers out there. Whether you are navigating the seven seas, taking it easy on a luxury cruise or simply relaxing on the marina or beach, this collection is perfect for capturing all the maritime memories of the sailor in you.

As we are a water-loving family AND I have a son in the NAVY, I am going to have a lot of fun with this beauty!!! In this first page, My DS #2 sent me this photo when he was stationed in Alaska in 2000. Although they are hard to see in this photo that Nicholas took from the ship, there are seals on the buoy.

For the Magical Moment Challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps, I chose the quote by Pierce Harris from the Atlanta Journal with photos from when my DS#1's family went down to Mississippi to visit him while he was working with the Hurricane Katrina Rescue in Mississippi.

“Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things.”

I created a little piece of word art for you with Rina's new Sea Spirit Alphabet
I used it on the above page.

The frame is not included and is used for preview purposes only.
I hope you like it, and if you download it, I would love it if you could comment, or holler at me in the Chat Box on the side.

Scrapping Today

There are so many other things I should be doing today on my 10th Wedding Anniversary but Hubby had to work, and I have so many pretties that I purchased on National Scrapbooking Day-well, I just want to play!!! And I want to remind you that today is the last day to grab Rina's NSD Grabbag at the incredibly low price of $2.95. This Grabbag is so huge-it is one that just can not be missed! I made the following layout for Rina's Scripture Challenge with the Joyful Awakening Stacked Papers which is just one of the hidden beauties in this bag! I made the next page for the SBE-Layout Inspiration Challenge . It is inspired by Tomorrows and Yesterdays by Danessa . I used Rina's Secrets in The Attic Page set and the In Memoriam Element Set by Kimberly Stewart and Rina Kroes. It is a heritage page for the album I am working on for the Phelps Family Reunion. This next page was made for Build A Fairy Treehouse Challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps. For this challenge...

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week.  We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July!  I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house.  I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday.  But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station!  He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB.  That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing.  I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them.  I ca...

Anchors Aweigh

In 1906, Bandmaster Lieutenant Zimmerman was approached by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles with a request for a new march or fight song. Midshipman Miles was a member of the Naval Academy class of 1907. Miles and his classmates were eager "to have a piece of music that would be inspiring, one with a swing to it so it could be used as a football marching song, and one that would live forever." The two men reportedly worked out the tune and it was first called "Stand Navy Down The Field". "Aweigh", meaning to raise or hoist, comes from the nautical phrase "to weigh anchor". The current lyrics, as revised by George D. Lottman, were adopted in the 1920s, and it is now recognized as the U.S. NAVY Anthem. "Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry; We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y. Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray! Anchors Aweigh...
