Wonderful work, and an excellent balance of photos.

Startling, and wonderful. The newsprint person is A+!

A layout documenting the new grand's first-month birthday. This became a mashup between the January template from the new Month in Review Album and a fotoblendz from a Scenic Template album. The photos were all over the place and at one point I had six on the page—so I jammed hard on the brakes...

So happy and dynamic! Love the numbers!

This is like sunshine, and love your repurposing of the beanie babies for educational purposes. I kept the old-style Little People and Playmobil, wish I had kept the Ternage Mutant Ninja Turtles Sewer Set.

That's a giant shoe for sure and I love the partygoers beneath it! Congrats on the Standing O!

Fun page, and LOL, yes, the song is now in my head too! I actually youtubed a recent concert of hers after Christine McVie passed--surprised that she was still performing.
