So sweet! It's beautiful and I know you'll treasure it for many years to come. Happy Anniversary!

Congrats on the GSO. Amazing use of color and attention to detail throughout. :cool:

Haha. Ain't it the truth! This just might be the page which is the quintessential heritage page of a future time. So lovely with a cute photo and just a touch of the artsy throughout.

Beautiful play of textures, colors and shadows. LOVE!

Congrats on the Standing O! Those butterflies bring me instant joy, but I can't bring myself to put any in my book unless I'm seeing them in real life, and most of the time they just aren't here. Maybe in July or August. Imma think about putting some in just to see what I think.

Thanks!!! No, I love Lorie Davison's papers though. They did most of the work. So not so much more work than others, maybe just more waiting for it to tell me what next because I was just not feeling a fantasy storybook mood at all but wanted it to feel like I did. ;) I did place the beads...

Thank you so much Trudy!

I can't say how many words I read before the melody arrived in my head. Love it. ;)

Assignment: Fantasy in a time of war.

I love how your photos and these pages tell such a unique story of your day. All of the smaller details add up to making it outstanding.

Getting the photo is so exciting, and your daughter's eyes tell it all. Also love the map and the bits of red and yellow.

Love those cute fingers OOB and your fun quote. Congrats on the Standing O!

Fabulous work, Marlene. The subtle range of colors is stunning and I love your use of splatters and how you gave the skirt so much dimension and flow.

Love this! Going in a few weeks to see the Rufouses in Arizona, a two-day drive, so you know we love them. So pretty when the light catched them and lots of character. Saving this although not sure how it'll translate to my book. ;)

Love this. We pretty much always get snow on the tulips and it's a rite of passage I'm happy to share with you. I think it's beautiful and I do think it tests your constitution. LOL

I love how you incorporated a mix of geometric and organic patterns in your background, and mixed gems with the date buttons.

I always admired every line drawn by the architect, especially when they were just thinking or playing, and that's what your background brings to my mind. I just love everything about it, and :cool: your choice of font

Love these colors and the energy of the poppy. Beautiful design and I love how you've made the template your own.

LOL "Even the bag says popcorn is smart food." Inspiration really can come from anywhere. Love it.

So fun and I love your photo treatment.
