We did a Rick Steves tour of Ireland (which we loved). You can duplicate a lot of what he does by looking at the itinerary on his website and getting hints from his book. Some things that aren't on the usual tourist itinerary: 1) skip the touristy Ring of Kerry and do the Dingle Peninsula...

This is what I was working on when I got &quot;waylaid&quot; by the current Anna Challenge. It's a card to accompany an origami double crane model called &quot;Imoseyama&quot; (&quot;Mountain That Looks Like a Couple&quot;). The bride and groom are climbers. I just happened to have a...

Thank you Nickel. The photo treatment consisted of a "grungy paint" layer created with Filter Forge and multiple outline layers. To create outline layers for an ink and watercolor effect I use techniques from these tutorials: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/new_page_9.shtml...
