Flooding Rain

July 18, 2026

Way back in January 2011 we had enough rain to bring localised flooding. Luckily for us we were well and truly above the rising flood waters from the creek at the end of our street. So today’s page shares some photos from that day. I used a 1, 2, 3 scrapbook layout from Noreen Smith to cut a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The paper is attached to White Willow 12″ x 12″ card. I created my title using the Happiness is Here Alphabet 1 and 2. I used Early Espresso ink for the title with the fill stamped off onto scrap paper first.

These two stamp sets were part of the 2026 Virtual Album Retreat which is on the Last Chance list. I die cut the photo strips from Early Espresso card using the Capturing Smiles Dies and added some of the scrap pieces from my photos behind them before attaching one to each page. I stamped “Lifes” “moments” from the Capturing Smiles stamp set onto Basic White card and fussy cut it before attaching it to the right hand page. I stamped “captured” from the Capturing Smiles stamp set onto Basic White card using Early Espresso ink and trimmed it.

I cut Basic White card using the tag die from the Capturing Smiles Dies and added a photo panel cut using the Capturing Smiles Die. I stamped the small camera from the Capturing Smiles stamp set onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink. I cut out the camera image using the co-ordinating Capturing Smiles Die. I layered the tag, camera and “captured” onto the lower right hand corner of the left hand page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card, trimmed it into strips, then dipped the edges in Early Espresso ink and attached the strips the left hand page. I love how these pages turned out, bringing to life memories from a scary day.

Bye for now,
