Thank you, Helene! I do enjoy telling a story on my pages.

Thanks so much for hosting the challenge and for your kind words!

Thank you! It was an exciting day!

All photos were taken by me, Chris McCune

Thank you, Nickel! That's a distinctive paper, that's for sure. As soon as I placed it behind the mausoleum, I knew it was staying.

Thanks, Lynne! He struck me as being a performer. ;-)

Whimsy! I like that. Thank you, AZK!

Thank you, margie! It's good to share the joy, just as you have, too.

Thank you, tanteva! Parts of it came together quickly, others not so much. Thanks for your enthusiasm and kind words.

Thank you, Madi! Art journaling is difficult to me, but I love it, so I welcome opportunities that challenge me to do it better.

Thank you so much! For your comment and noticing the shadow work. :-D

Thank you! Days, like word art, can get quite messy, indeed.

I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right place, but here it is anyway. ;-)

I spotted this beautiful mausoleum during a drive in the country, and just had to pull over and take this picture. I used 4 patterned papers from Brave, and 3 textures of mine to create this moody scene.

This is so lovely, Kythe! You've really captured an authentic "real paper" look. And I love your music theme, too.

There is so much in life to be joyful about, even if the joy is often accompanied by a bump or two along the way.

This challenge was so difficult for me! I didn't realize how much blending I use.

Your page really caught my eye. Love the way you're encouraging yourself to go in the direction you want. Very well done.
