Heritage Challenge No. 22

“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”  ~  John Ruskin

Good morning from Mollie aka readstoomuch!  The topic that I have chosen for this week’s Heritage Challenge is weather.  In particular, heritage weather!  We will be creating a layout about a weather related photograph or memory which shows weather from our past.  Weather is never boring . . . it is always a great conversation starter & it is always with us!  Debi {beehive50}, LInda {earlofoxford} & I {readstoomuch} have scrapped photographs that tweaked our memories of weather from a certain part of our early lives.

First is this interesting layout from Linda showing a vivid memory of this dramatic weather event that touched her life in 1960.  LInda’s mother had photographs of Hurricane Donna that LInda used to scrap this memory and how it affected her home.  I love the acrylic water droplets that she used on this page!

Supplies:  Stuffed Edge Photo Frames, Little Snips Alphabet, Frightful Element Pack, Splatters Brushes and Stamps, 2nd Hand Memories Element Pack, 2nd Hand Memories Element Pack, All Set Numbers, Petit Jacques Kit, Sanctuary Alphabet, So Perfect: Boy Paper Pack, WaterDrops No. 01 ElementSet, SandScratched Overlays No. 01 12 X 12 & Stitched by Anna White No. 01.

Debi’s layout shows a very young Debi sitting in front of her Southern California home in a pretty spring dress in the middle of March.  Debi said that this was quiet a change from their previous home in Minnesota!  Be sure to notice Debi’s play on words in her title “Weather”.

For my page about weather, I used some photos from my childhood about how I loved the snow and a favorite memory from those snowy times.  This layout is about the delicious Snowcream that my mother would make for me.
