Happy to report that I achieved my goal of sending out my Family Getaway album for printing well in time for Christmas delivery--I ordered four albums, 40 pp each, at the 8x8 size. Since we only returned home on September 22, I'm pretty amazed that I was able to do this and even, at the end, had...

Love the afghan and this time of year overall as ably illustrated in this design. (Tomatoes were truly great in NY, many other crops not so.)

Ker-pow! What explosive color!

Halloween spookies with my grandson and son. To make this layout I used the FotoBlendz Overlays to blend my photo, duplicating the photo a few times and clipping it to a series of masks from the set. The background is Artsy Paper #4. I added the wood words from the WordART pack to...

I love what's NOT here...the restraint in your design allows my eyes to linger on the photos, allowing me to savor them uninterrupted. The balance here is fabulous.

Really pretty layout--love that photo!

Those chevrons! I never would have thought to use them here--they are perfect! Love the sketch effect and the butterflies too.

Rich with color, from the hat to the pumpkins to that gorgeous teal background!

I like the diagonal movement of the blue, and the green that goes straight across. The organic shapes on the right really play nicely with the rectilinear frames on the left...I find it's hard to do these spreads, when each photo has different colors and light, but you really tied it all...

That whimsical smile! Great imagery, and you've highlighted it perfectly!

Great use of the light here! Really highlights the page!

Lovely heritage layout!

I particularly like this shot, with that red car!

Love your heart artstroke. Fits perfectly with the design!

This is so lush, and it's easy to get lost in the details. A beautiful composition!

Cool how you have the photos sequenced--it works really well across the layout. The Twilight Zone concept is a hoot--love it!

One of my favorite birds--such a cheery sort. Also loving that hit of red...adds just the right pizazz!

A treasure--both the imagery and what you did with it. Congrats on that well deserved Standing O!

Grunge meets landscape--just a little twisty (which I always love in your work). Also love the little clock cluster and the details...everything else, really. Congrats on that Standing O!

It's snow time already! I am looking forward to that! This is a beautiful reminder of Nature's bounty.
