A belated "FRIDAY FREEBIE" ...using PattyB Scraps LAURIE

       PattyB had asked me early last week to make a cluster freebie with her new kit LAURIE ... and I told her that I would, and then my time got occupied with last minute details in preparation for the Sunday celebration at my church.  We needed more souvenir photos, which I produced,  labeled, laminated and cut.  (50 tables worth with 7 photos on each table!!!)  Since the table number sky-rocketed from 30 tables to 50 tables, we also need photos for centerpieces, so I made 10 canvases (background alike, with 10 different historic photos from our archive)  had them printed, and created stands for them to sit in the center of the tables!  What a week ... 

     I made my first trip to the Retreat Center where I will be "working" this weekend, and got some stuff set up, and then came back home, where I hope I will get a good night's sleep tonight, so I won't be so exhausted this weekend!  I've been attending the events of the Heart of Texas Scrapbook Club since August 2000 ... this is our 50th event, (and my 47th!)  Most of the participants this weekend are good friends, and you know how it is when you get 30 girlfriends in the same room!  What a fabulous weekend it will be!

     Now, with everything packed and ready to go tomorrow, I had a little time to prep my frame cluster with PattyB Scraps LAURIE.  You can find LAURIE at all of PattyB Scraps stores:

It's FRIDAY

     I have been incredibly busy during the last six weeks, preparing a history book for my church, Immanuel Lutheran Church, Killeen, Texas.  We will be celebrating our 125th Anniversary of Service in Killeen on Sunday, April 6 - in a brand new facility, our 4th building!

    As a great granddaughter of the founding pastor, Heinrich F. Daude, I was proud to accept the offer to create the document sharing our accumulated history, as well as archiving  many years of photographs!  Here is the layout that I created honoring my Great Grandfather, Rev. Heinrich F. Daude

Our church began in the Daude homestead in 1887, was officially recognized by the Iowa Synod of the Lutheran Church in America in 1889, and we built our first sanctuary in 1892.  Two amazing photos have surfaced from the time our church was beginning.  

My best guess (based on the fact that the church built the first sanctuary in 1892) was that this photo was taken about 1890, and is in the collection of my cousin Arlys. (from her mom who was a granddaughter of H. F. Daude).  The congregation is standing on the north side of the homestead, before Great Grandpa enlarged the house in the winter of 1907. 

Another amazing photo which surfaced shows the congregation standing in front of the sanctuary built in 1892, with the photo circa 1910.

All of my spare time recently has been devoted to this history project, and there has been no time for making FREEBIES to share!  I hope to have some time this weekend at the Heart of Texas Scrapbook Club's Spring Retreat - our 50th event since April 2000.  Hopefully my freebie schedule (Wednesday - personal freebies on Projects by poki FB page, and Friday - Designer freebies here on my blog) will return!     

It's my birthday - here's a freebie!

Wednesday is not typically my FREEBIE DAY here at the blog, but I have one for you, in honor of my birthday!

I created the freebie in a layout with Alexis Design Studio's

STERLING ROSES

The soft shabby papers, and Lexy's FABULOUS flowers and other elements, made a perfect backdrop for this photo of Easter gone-by (1958, I think!)  My mom always made my sister and I matching dresses for Easter - I'm the tall one in the photo!

Lexy included a fabulous mask which I used on one of her papers to create this gorgeous,  shabby background for the layout!   My freebie includes the frame and lowest flower cluster, made with internal shadows only!  Hope you will enjoy it and make something beautiful!  Be sure to check out Alexis Design Studio STERLING ROSES, found exclusively at The Digi Chick
