Love these colors and the blended photo in the background! I almost missed it!

I also love the photo of the adults raising their glasses, and all the scenic photos, they are gorgeous! Loving reading your process notes. It's interesting to see how others handle the little problems.

So fun, great extraction and love the flag you created.

Beautiful monochrome layout. Love all the textures in the background.

What a unique bird and great shots! Love the pops of blue.

This is so beautiful and a real eye-catcher. Love the scene you've created and the paint and transfers in the background.

Thanks so much! Glad I could help :). And so sorry for your loss.

Yes, that's so true about showing age. Tilly has been the best dog, except for the shedding. OMG, she sheds 10X more than any dog we've ever owned. The weekly vacuuming would almost fill a 1-gallon jug. How's that for a visual.

Thanks so much. The funny thing is, for some reason, I wasn't really overjoyed with this, but you just never know what people will react to the most, do you.

Beautiful and vibrant, love the blended papers.

Love everything about this, the photo, the sketch effect, the tattered paper and the colors. Well done!

Just marvelous! Love the teal carried across the pages, I noticed before even reading your notes. And your insight into the valuable gutter space is really eye-opening.

Oh! This is super creative Joan! I love how you used the Thin Strips mask, just genius!

Excellent take on the challenge, very vibrant colors. Love the birds brushwork.

Beautiful selection of scenic photos. Very pretty.

Seems like the whole world is just a mess right now. Very dynamic page, well done.

Love these colors and the cat photo. Very striking.

Love this, especially the starburst/fireworks behind the photo. Also love the grungy, tattered flag.

Just not feeling very patriotic these days, so I went back to 2006, happier times.

Gorgeous! Love the large single blossom and title work.
