I have a play list of nonsense in my head after this challenge. My words are from a song recorded by The Pied Pipers in 1944. I remember my Gram singing this tune and I thought she was crazy.

Beautiful. I like how you've framed the photo and the blending.

This is so fun. I love all the little elements throughout the layout.

Using a minimal number of elements and lots of white space doesn't mean uncomplicated. Sometimes that's all that is required to tell the story.

I just love this layout by @CharleneMitchell It's like you can hear the conversation between the mom/dad and baby surrounded by all the lovely textures and blending.

I sat just looking at this for over 5 minutes... The photo and the word art tell such a story. Lovely design with all the textures and blending. This is definitely a Standing O layout!

Love this! It's a beautiful painted picture.

Lovely design and colour palette. Nicely done!

Wow! ....

Beautiful!.....such a lovely colour palette and design.

Here's my page.

How does one procrastinate doing a big clean-up? Do another Oscraps challenge!

Fabulous page. I love your framing and blending of the photo.

I'll be printing out this card and sending to a friend. Hope she doesn't go peeking through my Oscraps gallery before I get it sent.

Wow - gorgeous pages and sweater. Yes you should make another sweater - I'm about a size medium. :D

This is how I'm feeling today. So glad that the challenge recipe called for only using 16 elements. At one point I was doing 'what I wanted' and had 31 elements on the page.

Wonderful! Love your colour palette.

I've learned new techniques, practiced my creating process and had some fun with challenges. With this challenge I found a kit I had in my stash that I had never used. Lots of clipping masks were applied and a few blending modes too.

Thank you! I'm not always a fan of the ornate frames but this one just presented itself at the right time.
