A wide Load passed through arracknabeal this afternoon headed south. Got stuck behind it al the way to Horsham where it continued in a southerly direction.
This is one of 4 layouts I did as part of the LOAD sketch challenge. I got completely carried away because it was such a simple design. It was the perfect spot and size for all those "2 photo" events that I wanted to scrap.
Vintage photo of my grampa with his work van. i *heart* old pictures!
my process starts with either photo or paper then goes lo design, title, embellishments, glue it all down.
this one started with the picture, then i found this fabulous studio calico paper that was perfect. than i had to pick a title and letters...bigger letters equals shorter title. than i stamped the lines and journaled. it took forever to pick embellishments cause i didnt want to go over board and boy pages are hard to embellish cause you cant do butterflies flowers or hearts...lol I finally found these manly looking buttons and snuck in a teensy heart! love how this turned out :) and thanks for reading all my babbling...lol
100% scraplifted from fellow Loadster GabMc's Cousins lo from Oct. 15. No original thought on my part at all except picking out papers that I liked. :)
I strayed from today's theme since I have quite a list of pages I'd like to get done during this month. I keep a journal and I printed out some pages and found photos to accompany my words so I have a nice little (well, not really little) stack to inspire me!
This one was inspired by Elizabeth Dillow's bonus project from Big Picture's idea festival back in August.
I like ordering collage prints from my local Walgreen's ~ since I'm not too photoshop proficient, they enable me to get a nice grouping of photos to capture an event. And they were running a special yesterday so I got this one free!
For the journaling, i just listed a quick description of each photo. A fast and easy page that I've now crossed off my list!
Joyce in platform 2 and T362/T415 in platform 1 have their trains loaded with more passengers.
DVR's Teddy Bear's Picnic 2017.
Strobist Info:
EXD400-triggered by CyberSync camera left rear portion of the car at 1/4 power high
EXD400-triggered by CyberSync camera left front portion of the car at 1/4 power high
SB600-triggered by CyberSync camera right, low in front of car at 1/2 power with slip on diffuser
This Flatcar is just what I needed.
A 4x4 laid atop the protruding Bunks on the opposite side pulls tight against the steelframe and provides an anchorpoint to self load the log. One Staunchion keeps the pull from sliding the 4x4 timber along.
Ideal for when a Tree isn't handy opposite, the Blocks allow the rope to be redirected to get the proper direction of pull required.
Well Dodge says it's a truck so I thought I would see. The Dodge Journey handled this load quite well.
R614 loads its second cut of cars at Lynch 3 with a pair of ES40DC's. On occasion, when the power seems to be a bit "under the weather," the crews will split their typical 110 car train and load at Lynch 3 in two cuts. Today, the train is 108 cars and for US Steel, seen here passing the derail.
Not to be confused with the song, "Closing Time". Loading up a variety of passengers while still trying to maintain the schedule in the Busy morning rush hour on the Racetrack.

Wide Load - moving House .. 18 wheeler transporting single storey building - down the Local road .. just Wide enough ..
Guildford, Surrey ..
Ahhhhh...Mythbusters! Our family's favorite show. (Though technically the baby doesn't care.) I downloaded some images from the internet for the photos and manipulated an image of the show's logo in Photoshop to make the title.
I used a sketch from the Ella Publishing sketch challenge for this one.
This rather grainy photo shows the method - known as "hoist loading" - of loading vehicles on to the first three car ferries to operate on the west coast of Scotland (outside the Firth of Clyde), the MVs Hebrides, Columba and Clansman of 1964 operated by David MacBrayne Ltd (latterly Caledonian MacBrayne after merger in 1973 with the Caledonian Steam Packet Company Ltd which ran the ferries on the Clyde.)
Instead of driving down a ramp adjustable according to the state of the tide (a "linkspan") directly on to the ship's cardeck at the bow or (more usually with 60s ferries) the stern, hoist loading involved the ship being equipped with a transverse platform which was raised from the car deck by pulleys or hydraulic rams to the level of the pier. A ramp was lowered and 4 or 5 cars could drive on. Turntables set in to the platform enabled some of the cars to be swung round through 90 degrees to ease them being driven off onto the car deck once the platform had been lowered back down.
It was pretty laborious - and almost useless for HGVs - but was necessitated because, whilst the Government was prepared in the early 1960s to invest in ships designed to carry vehicles, it was not at that time yet prepared to invest in linkspans.
Linkspans began to be provided in the early 70s but the process was gradual and I think I'm right in saying that the last service to be converted to "end-loading" ro-ro operations was Mallaig-Armadale in 1994/95.
The only photograph ever taken by me of hoist loading is here at Castlebay although note the end is nigh with the construction of the linkspan ongoing in the background. The ship pictured there has a hoist as well as a ramp at the stern allowing it to operate from linkspans as well. Some Calmac ferries still have hoist systems (as well as the now normal ramps at bow and stern) which would only be deployed in emergency if the linkspan at an island broke down.
I don't know which of the three original ferries it is in the picture or where it is (Craignure on Mull, possibly) but note the MacBrayne's bus on the pier.
This is a scan from an old BBC publication which I think was meant to accompany educational radio broadcast.
It took a superhuman effort to get my sewing machine out but I did it! One more day to go. . . .
This is a lift of Tania at Lotus Paperie
Kent, Connecticut. The beginning of the loading of Joy Brown's anagama kiln with large scale scupltures and dancing ladies (behind, right).
Getting this in at the last second today. I've totally fallen off the wagon, but I'm going to try to get at least 3 more layouts done this month so that I can say I got 50% of the way through! =) I didn't do the prompt, just scrapped this photo I wanted to get down. I basically scraplifted the last layout on this post at the American Crafts blog: americancrafts.typepad.com/studio/2012/05/6x6-mini-paper-.... I loved the idea of the banners around the photo. =)
