I love the bright blue all over the spread! Beautifully organized and a visual pleasure as well as a terrific memory capture.

That focal photo is particularly awesome. What a trip!

What memories! This is fantastic!

Beautiful, emotive work.

So dang cute! And I love the elegant fork. My son turned 40 last Spring--eeek! Congrats on the well deserved Standing O!

Fascinating. Can be interpreted in many ways. Love the eye--kind of skeptical.

The gold frame is fitting. Loving it!

Love the image of the windblown tree and how it relates to the title. A subtle use of nature as an affirmation of persistence and perseverance.

Oh! So cute! That hat LOL!

Funny you should mention this--I'm already on that path, eliminating journaling for those pages (and there are way fewer than yours, given your huge photo stash) and doing template work with minimal alteration, choosing templates with interesting shapes to at least keep the sense of format...

I definitely get it. I try to put myself into the bride/groom shoes, but readily admit I'm using a few heaping cups of artistic license! ;)

This pops with emotion! Sort of a wistful and subtle quality to it that engages the heart. I like how you muted the bright colors so they're contributing but not center stage. Congrats on the Standing O!

Totally cozy!

Wonderful use of this Artplay Palette. I especially like how you framed the photo with embellishments.

This is stunning. That green!

How awesome this is! I love the story behind it and that you kept this gorgeous piece of craftsmanship alive. Bravo!

Love the light in this.

I'm like that with the mountains, taking the same pictures over and over again and never getting it the way I see it. This is gorgeous though! Congrats on the SO!

What an incredible sight. Love the framing, and the "exit" door break in it!

Awesome choice of grouping the photos with the red/orange--the color really pops. The map is such a help! Trip of a lifetime!
