I made these pages for my kids' albums. My only regret is that I didn't get more pictures on them... We truly live in a beautiful state!!!
Journaling:
You were born in Oregon, one of the
best states in the union... From the majestic peaks
of the cascade range, to the beautiful shores of the
Pacific, this is our home. I can’t imagine living
anywhere else. Oregon is home to so many breath-
taking sites. You don’t fully understand how blue
water can be, until you gaze out over Crater Lake.
When you’re at the base of Multnomah Falls,
you can’t not be aware of the wonderful works of
our Lord, as you stand in awe over the beauty...
Even thinking about the pacific, you can smell the
salt, and feel the wind whipping your hair, and the
screech of the sea gulls above. There is something
different about the trees at the coast... The way they
all lean away from the ocean, from the constant
blowing of the wind. We have miles of lava beds,
and painted hills is the desert... Yes, we have it all.
Lush green forests, and dry desert sands...
I will never leave Oregon, our home.

Another gorgeous page. I've never been to Oregon but have always wanted to go up to ski. Now I see that I need to go in the summer too. It's really breathtaking. Love the journaling on this page and the fabulous font. Thanks for using parts of my kit! The July Club Deco kit was perfect for these two pages!!

Awesome, I love the views & the kit goes well with it. It is definately breath-taking & It makes me want to see those views personally. I love how the sun rays are come down through the mountain, over the bridge. The sun-Rays almost look like it could be a water fall if your not looking @ the details.

Oregon is a beautiful state! Your page is lovely; the journaling is superb and the photos great. I like the way you did your film strip and cut the paper to match the wired beads.
