Thanks, I felt good about those shells, too. A sensible solution! As for pages, so far it's looking like 32-34 but still haven't gotten the pix from professional photog SIL so who knows. Also, no idea how I will integrate them IF they ever get off his camera to me. Picaboo can have long shipping...

This is so beautifully embellished. Great use of the Artplay Palette!

Congrats on the SO. This is fabulous. Swooning on the eagle!

This is gorgeous! I know the value of a good beach house--nothing like it. The views really make the vibe, and yours are tremendous!

This really feels like Fall to me...and I love the use you made of the frames on the left to divide your photo. And that lampost at the bottom is a great touch--a focal point that doesn't overwhelm but draws attention to the main image.

This is so graceful and I love the detail. Beautiful work!

Lovely. Serene. The title is perfect with the imagery!

Well deserved standing O for the blue leaf and what it symbolizes. I simply adore this one.

I still don't see the dandelion but it doesn't matter. This is gorgeous art! The color palette is simply luscious!

This is really wonderful and also gives me inspiration. I don't use those supplies much either because I never seem to have empty spaces, but designing them in as you did--LOTS of possibilities!

That background is glorious! Also like the cat at the bottom with the dog on the desk. That was some crazy fog!

Awesome photo! Awesome stripes! Awesome word art!

This is beautiful. I love the light effect at bottom right. A very creative use of the FotoInspired template!

Making progress again on my Christmas-gifting family vacation album after a brief hiatus. I recolored the stains blue and added more hipster plumes so they would travel across the spread, and duplicated them with color burn mode to get a sunburnt look. The shells were useful for filling in the...

Family walk at the National Seashore in Cape Cod. Another layout for my Christmas-gifting project, simply done, consisting of placing photos and recoloring stains with the usual alterations of frames. Embellishment is a combination of buttons and duplicated sea grass on various blending modes.

Gorgeous color-coordination here. Beautiful work!

Love the juxtaposition of the imagery and the wordART. Oh, I remember all those school trips!

Awesome layout and enjoying the bright yellow light. And wow! Magnificent is right! But your poor defoliated hydrangea--ours got walloped in the spring, but by the bands of roving fawns who eat everything (even bee balm, nothing eats bee balm). We've had good luck with scattering Milorganite...

I am really relating to that quote. And pairing it with a persistent, tough, and beautiful flower makes it really come to life. Nice use of the APP, the colors of which are a bit outside my usual comfort zone.

Guessing it's the babyBug--have been sick here too since returning from the Cape. Not Covid, but nasty nonetheless. Enjoyed the pop of color from the Grandpa Otts in your spread--I spend a lot of my gardening time during Fall pulling them out, the idea being they will decrease next year (never...
