Oh, yay! You sound like me, Ann. Plus about 4TB of documents on an EHD! We can all put our heads together and work out what we want a bit later. Good to "meet" you and glad you found this forum!

Super challenge, Claire! Here's mine:

See individual pages for details

There are no special techniques here, just clip the photos and fill in the paint and overlays behind, then add the journaling and title.

This charming 20th century painting by Doris Zinkeisen represents Heckington Mill as it is today. In 1890, the cap was blown off and the mill severely damaged in a storm. Originally it had five sails, not the eight here. A cap was purchased from a similar mill scheduled for demolition and...

This is more the art journal side of this two-pager.

Grandpa - Holson Wood - looks to be about 4-years old in this photo and not so happy. Maybe it was because of that hat he wore. Surely that wasn’t his hair! Aunt Vera was 3 years older and didn’t look much happier. The cloche had been around for 6 years and wouldn’t become insanely popular until...

I just love big photos! This large one actually covers the entire page, just blended.

This is one of my favorite ballets and I would dearly love to see this particular enchanting production. On my bucket list! The background is mk1 paper 11 in Divide mode over mk1 paper 16. Then I layered the elements and enlarged goddess sticker in Overlay mode at 79% opacity in between the...

Great challenge! Here's my LO, I used John Lennon, Artistamp Medium, Walter, and Boho Font - Lined :

Ahhhh, I didn't catch that! Thanks, Cheryl!

My dream car! The background is cyanotype 13a in Linear Light mode over mk2 paper 5 in Color Dodge mode over mk1 paper 02a. I created an alpha from the Walter font for the word WISH. Each letter has three different layer styles applied: a 5-pixel dark blue inside stroke, it is then beveled and...

There are no special techniques here. After selecting the background, I selected the mask and applied the photo, added two skyline overlays behind the mask and lined them up with the photo, added the 3 brushes behind the mask, then added the word art in Pin Light blending mode and the title.

Hello, ladies! I must first apologize for dropping off the face of the earth. Life has kicked me to the curb for a bit but I THINK I'm back. My question for you is: Do we want to continue with this forum? I love the idea of a forum for genealogy/family history, but I think it need an...

I was looking in the shop the other day for a kit for Kwanzaa but didn't find one. I can make do with some others and adapt them, but ... I find Kwanzaa includes a candelabra that looks like a menorah but isn't, among other things, but nothing unique, so I wondered what y'all celebrate and...

I just popped over to see what was happening there. Delightful! Beautiful highlights for Color Play and the article on Art Journaling is amazing. I saw Buddy the Elf there, too! Make sure you drop in, it really IS worth the time! Many thanks to the Blog Team - you ladies really rocked it!

Congratulations on your GSO! You completely deserve it. This LO is warm and charming!

I'm with Evelyn. Poe was the first impression in my mind. My son would love this! I think this ATC is so striking - it grabbed me from the get-go!

Vera, I don't think I can add anything that hasn't been said, but I have to tell you that I fell in love with this LO at first sight.
