The Air Force Scrapbook presents ----
Please enjoy this slide show of the "U. S Air Force Thunderbirds".
or Scroll to the bottom of the page to check out our Scrapbook Supply Store for Air Force products.
This first layout is the front page of my Air Force Scrapbook. I purchased it at the Air Show. The main photo of the Thunderbirds is by Staff Sergeant Sean White. The design is by Technical Sergeant Kurt Reilly. The Air Show in May 2004 was the year the Air Force celebrated it's 50th Anniversary.

Air Force Memorial
The Four Digital Scrapbook Layouts above show the Air Force Memorial in Washington, DC and some of the Dedication Ceremony on 16 October 2006.
These were done using the Heritage Makers Storybooking system and some of my own photos of the Air Force Memorial. I chose for this project to do individual 12 x 12 pages and have them printed to slide in the sheet protectors of my Air Force Scrapbook.
You can check out the Heritage Makers system through my other website at
Memory Book Architects.

Air Force Thunderbirds
These are two more digital scrapbook layouts I made using the Heritage Makers Storybooking system. Again, these will be printed as separate sheets to add to my Air Force Scrapbook.
The "background paper" on the left side is actually one of my photos cropped square and enlarged to 12 x 12 inches using the Heritage Makers tool set. Then I placed 2 smaller photos onto the "background" and "matted" them both with dark blue. All of this was done using a drag and drop system to position the elements where I wanted them on the page.
The Title Text was also done using the Heritage Maker tool kit, and the same color for the text as the mattes.
The page on the right was done the same way, using the dog tag embellishments, lettering circles to display the date of the photos. The photo corners were also pieces of digital art available using Heritage Makers. The background paper was selected from one of the Heritage Makers many many choices of "papers."

These next two digital layouts used one photo for the background on the left page and on the right side a background paper from the many choices of art work in the Heritage Makers Premier system.
I used 4 un-cropped photos for each page, staggering then on the left page - on the right side they were placed next to each other as if stitched together in a panoramic photo.
The lettering "Aim High", the Air Force Title and the Stars were all elements found very quickly in the Heritage Makers Premier package. Once I had placed the Title letters, I was able to change the color of the elements very quickly to various shades of Blue and Silver. To find these particular elements and background papers, I merely typed into a search box, "Military" and up popped many different Art and Page elements to choose from that were all Military related.

Air Force Combat Camera Squadron
This digital layout of me trying on the gear from one of the First Combat Camera Squadron members is a fun one. Me in the pink outfit with the body armor and helmet equipped with the camera was just too funny and the photos were courtesy of one of the Air Force pros.
Using the camoflauge background paper and pink tags which were available in the Heritage Makers Premier I thought emphasized the contradiction of colors in the photos.
These Heritage Makers layouts were my first 9 digital scrapbook layouts and all were printed to go into my Air Force Scrapbook. I purchased the system recently and these 9 pages above took only a couple hours - and that included the learning curve of using digital scrapbooking for the very first time.

Thunderbirds on the Tarmac and in the Air
These two Air Force Scrapbook Layouts focused on the Thunderbirds. The large photo on the left was another photo that I purchased from the First Combat Camera Squadron stationed at the Charleston SC Air Force Base. This was the first I had learned about the Combat Camera Squadron and I was fascinated and used their patch as an embellishment on the photo.
The panoramic photo showing the Thunderbird jets all lined up was taken with a Richo Film Camera that I use a lot for panoramic photos (4 x 12 inch format). Since I scrapbook in 12 x 15 a lot, I use the panoramic photos and can still use the 12 x 12 paper.
The lettering on both layouts were some Patriotic Letter Stickers in Red, White & Blue. The Red Tag on the left side is adorned with Patriotic Ribbon and a small red star sticker - with "50 years" in white ink.

Parachute Simulator and Golden Knights
These two Air Force Scrapbook Layouts represent my experience in a Special Ops Jump Simulator.
Wow, was that ever an experience!
I had always wanted to parachute since college, when a group of my friends did it, but I never could get permission from my father. Dad made some comments about 25 years of flying and trying not to jump out of an airplane and that was the end of the discussion.
So I took advantage if the simulator. Let's just say the experience cured me of wanting to jump out of an airplane. I couldn't get the hang of the steering mechanism and the virtual reality through the head gear made me horribly dizzy. That was the longest 3 minutes of my life. The journaling done on the computer in Blue Ink, told the story of my experience.
The opposing page is photos of the real pros as they parachute with the red, white and blue smoke streamers to announce the precision of an on-target landing. No dizziness there.

C-5 Galaxy and GPS Satellite
These next Air Force Scrapbook Layouts contain photos of some of the aircraft and equipment on display. The lettering is the same Red, White & Blue Stickers as used on the Thunderbirds layouts. The two embellishment cards with the Flag and Star are made with a technique called Iris Folding and various sizes of Star Stickers.
