Wonderful use of the mini! I love scrapping my kids when then were small too. That word art is perfect for your page!

What an intersting effect! A very creative approach to the challenge. You definitely have the right photo for the invert effect. it took me forever to find the one I wanted to invert.

Hi, robynne and welcome again! Great job diving straight into challenges!

Hi Robynne, welcome to the O! So glad to have you with us! Can't wait to see what you create! Great siggie!

Your photo treatment is fantastic! That sketch effect is fabulous!

... I don't care for anything chocolate - like chocolate cake or chocolate ice-cream or chocolate sauce... anyone else here like me?

Oh, this is so good! I love love love the long photo and the meandering journaling... Definitely a Standing O from me! #156

This one from @Dady is just wow...

What a fun layout! I love the colors and little cluster on the left.

Lynn, your use of brushes is amazing! And I really love that scrap of paper with the title on it!

Gorgeous! I love the wreath and the soft look... If this were a cross stitch project, I would be tempted...

Absolutely stunning... If this were a Tarot card, I'd buy the deck!

Beautiful page! I love how your elements echo the photo... Your stacking is perfect and the mini cluster with the meandering thread is such a nice touch!

Oh, this this absolutely gorgeous! i love the on the side page design and youir clusters are perfect!

I love this cheeky creature emerging from the lens... And so totally agree with the sentiment.

Wonderful lift and a resourceful approach to a challenging challenge.

I started with traditional paper scrapbooking in 2007 - while I was pregnant with my son I signed up for a beginner's course...... I wasn't good with paper and glue so, although I loved the idea, I didn't actually like doing it. I discovered digital in 2012 - with a trial version of Craft Artist...

lol... we all have those.. the other day I was in a bit of a hurry and jugglng about a gazillion of thoughts in my brain, and so I asked someone what time we were meeting in a wrong language and when they said they didn't understand me, I replied - still in the wrong language - what do you mean...

I love your choice of background paper and the torn black and white photo! Great non-traditional clusters that support, rather than overwhelm your page.

Great quote and love how it frames the photo! Riding ponies in Iceland has just been put on my bucket list...
