For my daughter's waiting-for-the-baby album. I started with a Fotoblendz Overlay from the Plage collection, clipping my photo and duplicates to three layers. I added the multi-media embellishment from the bonus file (with the addition of a sand pail from the Artplay Element file), then the...

Agreed, Tom Parker! :)

Darn cool 'vette! We enjoy military history and NY sure has a lot of it! The off-the-beaten-track sites are truly hidden gems.

Some of our history...it's nothing to celebrate. Excellent visual and story documentation here.

As a fan of driving tours...and as one who struggles to make them work in a layout...I am applauding your design! You've captured the sense of place and the beauty. So awesome.

Bright, fun, and fabulous! What a delightful boy!

Love what you did with your word art. This brings back fond memories of our visit--you did a gorgeous job on your layout!

Documenting the big landscaping push (and the deer drama) as we work to create three garden zones at our new/old farmhouse--an eco-hybrid pollinator section, a transitional buffer zone of grasses/native shrubs, and a wilding zone. When we bought the property last year, it was rocks, dirt, growth...

Ah, beautiful. I was thinking of you and your birding expeditions, many of which seem to occur in the wee hours, while I was comfortably watching the orioles and catbirds from my couch (we just hung a jelly feeder). I love to trek the trails for birds but in this weather (real feel of around 100...

This is a wonderful and warm spread. Everything flows so beautifully!

Oh, NICE! Loving the dimension in this layout!

The color saturation here is wonderful, somehow intensifying the memories in your journaling. I too love road trips--my favorite was through Western Iceland, where there were far more sheep on the roads than people!

Cher always adds bounce to a layout--just a 'lil somethin' special!

I like wandering around cemeteries and our bird club has a few trails through several so I'm loving your layout. I was reading recently that the open green space movement has its roots in cemeteries...designers started to notice that regular people were using them to connect with nature.

Like your big alpha and the woman in repose. A very refreshing scene.

I'm really liking the relationship of the focal photo to the detail photos in this album--the visual organization makes it really easy to appreciate both. And using the same palettes is definitely helpful, speeding up the job as well as nudging everything toward a unified look. I started my new...

This is awesome blending and the movement upward to the right corner has a magical forest feeling. The little touch of blue is very grounding!

Excellent documentation of the action--love the foliage at lower right.

A visit to the zoo with son and grand after a sleepover. I can't believe we missed the gift shop! Once again I jump-started my layout with a template, altering layers as necessary. In addition to embellishing with a multimedia sun, I had a lot of fun creating a background with the various...

Awesome story and photo and vibe. Congrats on the Standing O!
