Love, love, love what you've done with the photo! Free? I wish...

Beautiful composition and palette! Love all those layered papers. My grandmother made dumplings rooled, too, and it was always the dish I asked for. I still make them rolled.

Beautifully composed and rendered, Karen! Great use of negative space.

I like the perspective, too. This is just beautifully composed!

I quite agree! I love your clustered elements.

You've used this OOB technique beautifully. Wonderful blending, choice of elements, and artistry. I just had to give you a Standing O!

I love the out of bounds technique used her by @Norma . Stories walking out of books have always fascinated me and this one is beuatiflly presented!

Gorgeous and artistic! I love the colors, they really grab on and won't let go!

Not your traditional Cinderella story but I think I might like it better. Fantastic!

Ana! This is a fabulous artistic page! Loads of detail and lots of patience!

Great multi-photo line up. You've made the photos the main event and I like that!

Your masking is wonderful! I love the parge photo backdrop for that sweet photo. The B&W is a nice contrast!

Such a gorgeous photo! While your white space isn't actually empty your use of it is wonderful!

Hello, hello! Don't you just love it when you make a discovery and find yourself exclaiming "YES!" or happy dancing around the room? I do. When I finally found the Parish Register entry in Billinghay, Lincolnshire for my 4X great grandparents in 1804 I celebrated hard. It noted John Winter...

Welcome, welcom, welcome! The O is a great place to call home. So glad you've joined our family!

We met on a blind date and it was literally love at first sight. Although he asked and I accepted there were other plans in place for me that I was not yet privy to so it didn't happen. I was heart broken and truth to tell I'm not sure I ever got over him completely. The background is solid...

I was playing with the neural filters in PSCC to see what they could do and I realized how perfect this was as a companion page for Daydream Believer - I really was. This was Dec 1971. I was just 17 and this was my engagement picture. We were due to be married in the spring of the next year...

Another gorgeous and ethereal photo by Victoria. This collection is amazing!!! The background is Galaxy solid 7 with saturation and darkness increased in Linear Dodge (Add) mode over Galaxy extra papers 11. Add the photo then layer paint and ellies under and over.

Wonderful quotes, Cindy. I used the Steve Jobs quote. I may need to do a couple more of them for art journal pages. Thanks for hosting!

Victoria's photos are so beautiful. This one just leapt on to the screaming "I know just where I belong!" And it did! I used the Steve Jobs quote: Your time is limited. Don't waste it living someone else's life. -- Steve Jobs
