Hello Adventure Collection] by Palvinka Designs

Journaling reads: Like anytime you go on vacation, the time for leaving for home is bittersweet. For me, I was looking forward to being back in my own bed! The name of the apartment we rented is “Pie in the Sky”. I’ve heard that phrase but wondered what it could mean for the apartment...

Journaling reads: Sunrise was to be at 6:14:57 a.m. the morning we were head- ing home. So we set the alarm for 6:00 so I could wake up a bit before I focused on getting a sunrise picture. Ummm.....that didn’t happen! We did see the deer enjoying breakfast. You can barely see a couple of...

Journaling reads: Yes, the brick-fired pizza was good! Mark said he’s had better onion rings, but they were good. We didn’t eat out too much because everything was so expensive. We bought ham and bread for breakfasts/lunches and also got some frozen dinners for our suppers. We played Qwirkle...

Journaling reads: Mark enjoys fixing things! If he thinks he might be able to fix it rather than having to replace it he will try! And that carries over to vacation. The screws were loose in the stools so he got some tools from the car and worked on tightening them, checking all four stools...

Done for the July Big Photo Challenge found here: https://oscraps.com/community/threads/july-challenge-6-big-photo.37913/ Journaling reads: No matter how often you see them, and no matter if you have had problems with them eating your plants, there is just something about seeing deer that...

Process: I selected a textured paper and used a gradient layer to blend the lower edge of my photo into the paper. I used a couple of overlays on top of the photo to add some interest along the edges. I created my cluster in the lower left corner and created my word art in the lower right using...

Journaling reads: Something for everyone to do. There were lots of families at the resort.

Journaling reads: Besides all of the sites to see in the Boone area of North Carolina, you really could stay at the resort and find plenty to do. There is a pool, hot tub, gym, arcade inside. Outside there is shuffle board, putt-putt golf, frisbee baskets, tennis courts, basketball hoops...

Journaling reads: It was fun to watch the deer come out of the woods and fields to eat the green plants around the guard shack. They are semi-tame as they made no attempt to escape when people staying at the resort stopped to take pictures as they came through the gate. It’s hard to tell from...

Journaling reads: Sunflowers, be they big or be they small I love them all! Mostly the wild flowers were white or yellow so the pink clusters were a pretty contrast. And, it’s always fun to watch the bees and other insects enjoying a meal from the nectar of the flowers! “...Look at all the...

Journaling reads: No matter what route you took, you saw these arrows indicating a sharp curve in the road! I found myself hanging on to the door to keep from swaying back and forth so much.....usually to no avail! One trip down NC-194 gave me motion sickness! We did NOT travel that portion...

Journaling reads: You can see the ski lifts across the way from the condo we stayed in. Grandfather Mountain is a mountain, a non-profit attraction, and a North Carolina state park near Linville, North Carolina. At 5,946 feet, it is the highest peak on the eastern escarpment of the Blue Ridge...

I love border pages and used the border to set off my picture of my great-granddaughter, Kinleigh, walking on the railroad ties that are all around our house. She was SO proud of herself and acted like she was walking a tightrope. My border is made up of Summer Lovin' elements by Sweet Doll...
