What beautiful leaves on the tree that paper and elements make. Wow!

And the background with the little border clusters. The picture seems to arise from the background the colors are so close. Well done!

I could find a happy place here! I agree - tranquil, happy, soft, comfortable. I love that the photo falls off the page. It's an interesting perspective.

I was on the fence, too, but finally decided on this one. It showcases the masking so beautifully!

Wonderful extraction. I can't help but wonder if she was chirping at that bird. Mine does and the birds sit right outside the windows on the stairs and chirp right back. Great page!

Marvelous! I love that little pop of color on this otherwise B&W page. And your use of stamps/brushes is fabulous!

I would be hard pressed to find a more perfect LO. The masking on the photo is fantastic and the elements are perfect!

It does look splendid! I love your sparing use of elements - it really lets the photo both shine and sing!

What a fantastic mask, Ona. I sometimes use elements as masks but hadn't thought to do this. I must try now! Such a creative page!

Absolutely agree and I love that single blended leaf on the background. Gorgeous!

I so agree with the selectionof the background. I never would have thought to do this with a wee one's photo, but it worls beautifully! I learned something new today!

Simply precious! Your masking is perfect and I love what you did with the secondary frames. Just beautiful!

Oh, what a wonderful mixed media page! I love your stamps, doodles and paint - and that wonderful photo. Just had to give you a Standing O!

This LO by @Dady is a wonderful mixed media/art journal page. I love all the stamps and paint.

Le, too! Best drik of the day. What a great interpretation of this pocket template!

Such a sweet LO. I love your stamped elements and the great use of the secondary frame. Nice interpretation of the template!

What fun you will have when you get there. Amanda, who are your Revolutionary ancestors and where are they from?

Now that would be really cool!

Celebrities were just ordinary folks off their public podium back in the day. My mother tells a story of sharing a day at the public swimming pool in Palm Springs, California. Said she was the nicest person and they had a wonderful chat. I'm named for her. Reckon that had anything to do...

How true that is! My sons are Mayflower descendants through John Alden and Priscilla Mullins and they have tons of famous kin - Marilyn Monroe, Orson Welles, and Martha Graham to name a few. I have an unproven Mayflower link, so I don't claim any yet. Where in New England?
