We are currently having a discussion in the May Week 3 Art Journal Challenge about comparing ourselves to others in regards to art. Perhaps it's serendipity but just after I replied there I received this newsletter from an artist I subscribe to, Tracy Verdugo, which so acurately explains the...

wow!!! look at all the awesome layouts since my last visit!!! :wow: off to the gallery I go to leave some well deserved love on them all! :claphands::claphands::claphands::heartpumppink:

I think the paper you used to did desaturate the colours of your photo a bit so it does have a vintage feel about it! Awesome work in creating this brilliant layout, such a gorgeous scene you have crafted here!

Fabulous results Mel! Absolutely love how you have created the photo treatment and then scrapping your lovely photo as you have done! Awesome work!

Great job on the photo treatment Terri! What a cute photo and really like how you have scrapped here, especially like the pops of colours behind the photo to make the photo stand out! Brilliant layout!

Fabulous results on your photo treatment! Such lovely photos and I really like that you included three different ones and added the vintage feel to two of them! Very creative and beautifully crafted layout!

52 Inspirations is a wonderful way to not only get to 'try out' a designer's products but the products are great stash builders as well. While it might seem pricey, don't forget that you are saving a bundle of money and getting over $300 dollars of products for the single price of $39.99. Plus...
