Designer album: Nova Scotia, pays tribute to coastal community
Welcome to my designer album: Nova Scotia . . . you'll meet some of the people, places and projects I love, through page and detail samples from a collection of albums I've done for myself and others. Some of the photos are old, while others were taken recently. Keep in mind, this door is always open -- at Gladee's, we love growing our website.
There's nothing like getting an early start to another beautiful day at Kingsburg.

This designer album page now lives in New York City. We count ourselves fortunate to live so close to Gaff Point. The protected destination offers the hiker plenty of delightful moments.
As a little boy in Ontario, Allan loved to launch "boats" in mud puddles. In 1973, he followed his dream and hitch-hiked to Newfoundland where he spent a delightful summer. That fall, he landed in Nova Scotia. The following year, he was hired on at Snyders Shipyard in Dayspring, a 20 minute drive from Lunenburg. You may have heard of Snyders -- they're the crew who brought the children's Theodore Tugboat to life: Theodore Too. Allan took to his new trade like a duck to water. He was thankful for the "Old Hands" who enthusiastically showed him the ropes. Over the years, Allan has been involved in the building of motorized and sailing yachts, deep sea offshore vessels, Cape Island inshore fishing boats, canoes and Lunenburg dories...He's also leant a hand during Bluenose II refits. One of his favourite projects was the building of this delightful square topsail schooner, The Avon Spirit.
Growing up in Kingsburg was a special time for our daughter, KelleyAnne.
Whatever we do, wherever we go, we always end our day by-the-sea.
Living in Lunenburg County gives us plenty of opportunity to build collections and, in the process, gather happy memories to hold close to our hearts. Click here to explore a collection from Kevin Creaser's artistic journey
My designer album, Kingsburg Skyshots of Nova Scotia, celebrates the ever-changing skies. I hope these samples inspire you to look up wherever you may be!
Why not? Hold the camera horizontally, but present the image vertically.
Everything's back to rights ... a brilliant start to the day.
I use a few beads to sparkle the image.
Mirroring clouds with framing.
The end of another perfect day in Lunenburg County ... or is it the beginning? Whichever it is, hope you've enjoyed our visit....Jodie
