Lucky to have a photo like this one. I don't and can only wish. I LOVE the lace from the wonderful background creating contrast over the wood paneling. And the rust is nice with these blue-greens. ;)

I managed to lift the frame shape (rather roughly), color swatches, and the ribbon behind. I changed the leaves to zentangle feathers. I thought long and hard, but couldn't find a way to incorporate the extra strip photo concept this time, unless I made another fractal. Some wouldn't want that. :D

The carpet of birdsong was stunning, and I'd see a blackbird flitting here and there amongst the reeds. But the few birds that I could actually see, and they weren't close, couldn't even remotely account for the amount of noise. Further study was needed. We'd have to go back over and over to...

I love how you blended the bus and the portrait too, and how a thin bit of ribbon becomes the thread that ties things together.

I'm doing that now too sometimes, if our November trip starts on October 26th, so be it. LOL. In my mind it has to be filed under November. This looks like a fantastic place to relax, and even more special after all the effort it takes to discover something you love the most. ;)

Is that one photo in all those templates? Love how the image unfolds, the street lamp, and your treatment of the word arts.

This could be really big and live on your wall. It's just beautiful and so much to see. :D

Wonderful! Love the depth, from blurred to super crisp of the same forms. And the colors and lighting, reflecting so much sparkle.

I love your white part of the dark background. I look for papers that have both black and white on one layout, and don't find many. Super fun character!

Cute photo and your cluster of leaves is simple and so perfect with it.

Congrats on the Standing O! This is stunning and shows how a surprise is so appreciated. Love your complementary colors.

Gorgeous everything! So many cool techniques, but the blending of the photo and the paper, the wordart, and the handwritten torn strip stand out the most for me :cool: .

Wow. Gorgeous and I agree with @NAdams , a wonderful interpretation of the lift!

Beautiful Halloween art and I love your mix of frames. ;)

Beautiful work! The watercolors make the place seem so dreamy. But maybe also some wine. :D

Beautiful framing of your portrait and lovely colors. ;)

Love the depth of the layers of leaves. Almost feels like the wind is blowing.

Yep. Blessings everywhere. You just have to look. Beautiful expression of your joy. :)

The skeleton dog sat on the hotel's front desk at check-out. We left just after 6 am and took the back road up to Buena Vista for breakfast at Jan's and over Fremont Pass. There was snow up high and gorgeous fall color. Then we hit widespread heavy fog from Idaho Springs into Denver.
