You're succeeding in your mission--definitely. Even the haze/colors suggest "impressions." This one is dreamy!

Absolutely luscious layout!

I posted the left page earlier, and this is the spread. The challenge here was to move the colors of the digital supplies from primary colors to earth tones, to coordinate with the photos. The big extraction is an iPhone extraction—they work remarkably well. Yes, there was ice-cream cake.

Made me laugh. We DO enjoy a good time!

This is the first part of a spread celebrating Emma's birthday at our house. The detail photos will eventually make their way into a FotoInspired template layout to complete the spread. This layout was Project Earthtone: I wanted to use the fun Party Collection digital supplies, but since...

Wow! Impressive! Love the 3-D effect!

Love the framing of the two fan palms. This is truly a stunner!

Geesh, talk about running around the raindrops! Nice use of the Scenic Template for a documentation page. And loving the psychedelic palm tree...watching the weather reports will definitely blow your mind!

Wonderful photos and ornamentation. I DO love that blue fox!

I want to go! Love the ribbon and Beaded Threadz. Congrats on the GSO!

Classic and imaginative at the same time!

This is one heck of a gorgeous spread!

I always love your water layouts. So colorful and refreshing!

I love what's happening in the background at far right. There's that hiding-in-the-canyons mystique suitable for a dodgy ancestor. And while the paper might have done all the work, yours was the imagination that brought it to life. Well done Fiona! On my ex-husband's side there was a cook who...

California is certainly bringing out the primary-color side of Oz! It's a good look and I'm enjoying these layouts!

You must show her off! And then I will lift your layout! We have the same thing here with our Plain Janes. Our rose-breasted grosbeak females are the examples that immediately pop to mind.

The new parents managed to put together a little birthday treat after an exhausting wah-shriek-wah kind of day. The headphones cracked me up. I began with the Hipster template, placing my photos and recoloring the stains and plumes. I added the wordART, tweaking the cluster so “mess” became...

Wow! I love the thorough research and how it works with the photos! This is inspiring!

You're so fortunate to be experiencing the grands' young adult years. Looking at 84 over here for the oldest grand to be sitting in that seat! :eek:

That's a nice size! And an excellent plan...very much win-win (and in line with our thoughts).
