What a wonderful story...very touching! I had no idea birds could live that long! I bet you miss her. Do you still see her? Wonderful paper to go with the photo!

I love the perspective of the photo too, Donna! Wonderful job and excellent AnnaLift!

This is a great first page, Krisztina! I can't wait to see your book too. It will surely inspire a lot of people! (including me!)

I love the fisheye effect too! Wonderful...

Donna...this is just precious. The expression on the baby's face is just perfect timing. And I love the soft pastel palette you chose.

Krisztina: Is this Rothenberg ob der Tauber? I think I spelled this right?! :) I travelled around in Europe many years ago and this was one place we went! Beautiful page as usual. I might just have to buy a copy of that book of yours!!

Thanks everyone! I soooo appreciate the community here. You are all so encouraging and it gives me the courage to post more!

This is just gorgeous! The layering is just stunning and it highlights the photo so well!

Thanks Donna...sorry I was late!

My version of the AnnaLift for end of July ending Aug. 2nd. I took this photo on an abandoned building here in Beulah, ND where I live. I used Anna's FloralArt Paperie, No. 10; Artsy Clocks, No. 4; Word art from Angie Young's kit A Study in Yellow and Gray from Scrap Art Studio, and the...

The flower has such perfect placement, caressing your face like that. You are a beautiful young woman! Stunning page!

You are soooo right...this technique is perfect for this...shows such movement and fun! Great page!

Love these colors Krisztina! Keep those pages comin'! Can you share what brushes you use for this technique? Thanks!

What is the addy of your blog Katherine? I love your art too! Can't wait to see the rest!

Donna, this is just stunning to me. It caught my eye right away and I love the artsy look to it. Thanks for sharing your heart!

Also, Krisztina, could you share how you get that inner frame? Thx!

I agree...would love to know how you get those colors too! Are you processing the photo before to get those colors? Enquiring minds NEED to know!

I just love the fresco feel to the paper...fits your photo just beautifully and your technique is superb! Wonderful page.

I love the way you used this template Heather! Focusing on the puppy in the small frames was a great idea!

I forgot to credit where the butterfly came from! I got that from Angie Youngs kit called A Study in Yellow and Gray over at Digitals...she will soon be at Scrap Art Studio!
