Calvin Ball Week 2, part 2

I turned in my points for Week 2 last night -- and today I'm number 9 on the Leader Board -- woo hoo!  Paper Issues is having a crop this weekend and it's my birthday, so I'm scrapping.

Here's two layouts I finished on Friday (last day of Week 2) :

Both are from 1984 -- David graduated Boot Camp in May '84, we spent 16 weeks in Memphis, then back home to CA for two weeks of school.  From there it was three years at Quantico, VA.

Room with a view

Here's my first official Calvinball project -- a layout inspired by The Scrap Room's sketch and Robin's March challenge from our FB group.

Catching up

Here are a couple layouts I've done recently -- I think this is where I left off :-)

The first is a double pager from a Let's Scrap sketch:

Photos from a hike along the Cascade Falls trail -- from last year.  It was threatening rain, with thunder and lightening, so we didn't go all the way.  David and I went back this summer and hiked all the way to the falls.

Here's the sketch -- I moved some of the sections around a bit and played with the sizes:

Here are two singles -- they don't really go together.  I used sketches/challenges, but for the life of me, I can't remember where.  Haven't been able to submit them LOL -- probably over any way.  The one on the left is photos from our drive to Mesquite -- love that antique car card.  The one on the right is an old pic of my babies (now 19 and 25) with reflections in the journaling of how I miss my babies.  The brownish paper repeats the phrase "Love you to the stars and back "-- so I added some stars to the black background, the clock and the heart go along with the journaling.  

Tumbling Dice and Going Going Gone

Two double-page layouts made from Let's Scrap sketches:

This is based on the 8-1-15 sketch.  They used hexagons, but I turned them into squares to look more like the dice.  This was a day trip to Mesquite, NV (a border town) to gamble.  We went through 3 states (UT, AZ and NV) to get there.

This was based on their DT call sketch -- I loved it and it worked great for these photos of my son getting his hair cut to donate to Wigs 4 Kids.  He had an audience of residents from the Assisted Living place where he worked.

July LOAD -- Pt 1

Some of these have been sitting around on my desk waiting for the last things...finally got them finished plus a couple start to finish done this weekend.  Yay for LOAD motivation :-)

These are all from last summer -- when Ben and the boys were here -- miss them so much :-(

From the lava flows -- we got out of the car to see them and we all kind of stood around.  Until someone started walking out on them.  Watching them all reminded me of the game we used to play where the ground became hot lava and if you touched it, you died.

On the right side is lichen from the lava flows -- I was fascinated.  And on the left is a butterfly that let me get so close I got awesome shots, even with my little point and shoot.

The Ice Cave -- had fun using penguins and winter papers on a summer layout :-)  This is a fun trip.

Wildflowers from around the ice cave.

The Navajo Lake overlook

The other overlook -- and Dr. Party (my son's band) posing for selfies.

And --

my latest jamicure -- I am enjoying my Jamberrys.

The photos aren't the best, I waited to late to take them with natural light, so there are flashes.  Oh well, that's my life :-)
