About Me
I started using Photoshop in 2009 and quickly got discouraged because the program is so large and lots to learn. It didn't help that my mom was ill at the time so my attention was in deficit. Throughout the following years up until 2012, I would go in and play with it, off and on and learn some new things.
2012 comes along and throws all kinds of angst in my way. I lost my mom, the cat I rescued from the nursing home she was in, was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma. My world was thrown into turmoil. There was nothing I could do to get my mom back but I was determined not to lose the very young cat that was put into my path to ease my loss. He went through chemo treatments from March 2013 through September 2013 when he was given a clean bill of health and in remission. It is now April 2014 and my boy seems to be doing well with an upcoming ultrasound which will let me know how he is.
Needless to say, during this time of worrying about him and nursing him to eat and get through this, I had a whole lot of time on my hands to fill while waiting for a good outcome. I turned back to Photoshop to occupy my mind and voila, here I am today very much addicted to all Photoshop and Scrapbooking.
Thanks for reading and happy scrapping!!!

I am very fortunate to live so close to the beautiful Valley Forge National Park. The park is beautiful in all seasons. There is an abundance of wildlife, the architecture is gorgeous and the history of it is a dedication to perseverance.
History: Valley Forge was the site of the 1777-78 winter encampment of the Continental Army. The park commemorates the sacrifices and perseverance of the Revolutionary War generation and honors the ability of citizens to pull together and overcome adversity during extraordinary times. If you look into one of those cabins, they are so small and the bunks for sleeping very short. The men from those days must have been very small in stature.
No template and photos are mine. I'm using this LO in the challenge "wrong kit"

Gorgeous photos! Love your grid layout!
Thanks so much everyone. I did make the grid myself which was fairly easy to do. I could reproduce it but didn't save the layer file after creating it. lol I could save it as a PNG file and figure out how to share with you who might be interested.
@Brenda, I thought about how I could use the wrong kit and thought hmmmm, Halloween would work.
Thanks again everyone. :)) Appreciate it.
Beautiful. I like the grid-style layout.

If you didn't tell me this was a Halloween kit, I would have assumed it was just autumn in a national park *heart*
