Great use of the Santa and the stripes, and what a great extraction that is!

Sounds like you found your groove! Terrific page, and those photos are awesome!

A must-have page for the baby book! Wonderful documentation!

Very dramatic, and a good use of black/white. I like the way you framed the photo with the fabric.

This is a simple blended layout. I blended my photo into Yare Artsy Paper #1, then duplicated the photo on soft light blend mode. The wordART cluster is a freebie bonus that came in an email about the ongoing aA Project Class 2023. I augmented the background with the Artsy Transfer that comes...

Lovely interaction between the two portraits. Such a dynamic design!

I missed a chapter along the way--didn't knowing you were signing up to become Californians. Heartfelt journaling. I'm sure the right place will make itself known to you.

Loving all the vertical accents and, of course, the rabbit.

It's hard for me to read the journaling because it pixelates, but I could see enough to know you had included your usual zinger. I love your journaling because there's often a zinger--"Or rather, we fit in better." Excellent storytelling.

Adding my voice to all the previous love. What a festive design!

Thanks so much! I realize I knit more for the joy of the process of doing it (including experimenting with yarns) than for the actual finished product. So I am always happy to finish a project and gift it, and then that is that and if the recipient loves it, that's great, and if not, I just keep...

Nothing like a real smile--beautiful work showcasing this darling girl.

Beautiful linear design.

The background! And the stain on shadow-Santa's face! LOL. You definitely made the most of a fabulous as-it-happened photo.

A beautiful blending job. Love the texture above the people and the light in the sky!

Every year everybody gets a hand-knit Christmas present from me, sometimes more than one. This is my first year doing mitts—since I'm shooting at the moon in terms of sizing, I thought this pattern, with the cuffs at both ends, would be a forgiving fit. To make this layout, I started with Artsy...

I love your restrained-but-perfect use of black and white--and how the camera charm, clock, and arrow reinforce the monotone vibe. This is gorgeously balanced.

Extraordinary light!

Beautiful embellishments! They make the layout so inviting and so easy to get lost in!

I'm stuck on the Foxfire Books and Mother Earth News. But did you not have Ken Kern's "Owner Built Home"? That was our bible. What an album you are creating! I look forward to reading each installment.
