Anke, this is stunning! Beautiful extraction, fabulous depth created with the layers and multi media elements. Lovely! -and a Standing O!

I think I must add this one, too, by @anke55 She has created lots of depth and texture, the extraction is wonderful. It's just magical!

Fabulous LO. I don't even know where to start - I love every pixel. So I think I will start here: Standing O where there are comments why I picked it!

Love, LOVE, LOVE this artistic, creative LO by @helenedubois. She uses a lot of great techniques - filters on the large image, masks, etc. It's just all around beautiful. And John Denver is singing in my mind - SO much better than what was stuck there!

Very creative! I really like your photo progression and the duck adds a wonderful color punch!

Wow! What a great LO. What caught my eye at first was what I thought was the rally creative use of notebook paper for the background. That dotty border is so clever. Lots of great stamps and other goodies here. Love it!

Wonderful, sweet story. We had a hummingbird do this for several years - he even came to say hello when we were on the porch, totally unafraid! What a treat for you - and a beautiful way to capture it. Super LO!

I adore this page! Your use of negative space is fantastic, sweet corner cluster, and art journaling need not fill every inch with something. Who knew? Applause everyone for a Standing O!

This beautiful art journal LO by @jlholden15 is wonderful. I find it inspiring and with great use of negative space. I'm still learning this form and see that art journaling doesn't have to completely fill the page. I'd love some tiles like this!

No - for many reasons! A biggie? I could probably find somewhere that I don't have to pay for them like we did with some of the summer games, but I only really care for the figure skating and it's likely that would be in the middle of the night. We shouldn't have to pay to see them in the US.

@VickiStegall They are in China this year, Vicki.

I've been wanting a tablet, but don't have one yet. Maybe this will be the year. Great advice, thanks!

Congratulations on the Standing O. Well deserved!

That big photo is so cute! I love your minimal use of elements - it puts the photos front and center.

Oh my! I love every pixel of this lovely LO. The colors in the kit are perfect and I love the hand-drawn elements!

Love, love, love that stamped frame and the light touch with embellishments. Beautiful page!

This minimalist LO is fantastic! It's a gorgeous way to showcase that sweet, lovely photo!

WOW! What more could I possibly add? Stunning LO!

Fabulous! Your masking is wonderful and the choice of photos is inspired. Sparing use or embellishments lets these fabulous photos shine, making the LO something more than fabulous, but I can't find a better word!

Fantastic masking! I love those torn photos, too. Simply beautiful!
