Turned out to be an exciting image! Love the colors and the railroad crossing and bridge.

Eva, I see no reason we have to grow up!! Love the look whatever color it becomes.

Thanks for the kind words (and chicken soup)! Things seem to be progressing normally though I feel a bit like a zombie today. Chris, always hoping your days are gentle to you. Sara, I know you'll be enjoying being away from work. Trudy, have you talked to the dentist? Wishing you all...

Trudy, I'm just back from having "the damn tooth" pulled. I had a crown replacement and endless difficulties after. The dentist has a fancy new 3D x-ray machine with which they determined it was abscessed in both roots and had to come out. We'll see if this actually gets rid of the infection...

I used a tutorial from Anna's blog on heritage photos: http://annaaspnes.typepad.com/anna/2013/04/layout-deconstruction-14-heritage-photos.html Credits: all by Anna Aspnes ArtPlay Palette Tangier ArtPlay Palette Family 4 X 6 ArtsyKardz Traveler Trees No. 1 fonts: Amherst, Brush455 BT

I love books and have found cataloging the genealogy books is a help. Credits: Oscraps Collab nOvel fonts: Amherst, Corbel

Guess I'll start the week's thread. I'm not so late as last week, but I do have one snowy day to show. Hope it's the LAST!

A week of summer and winter ending in spring. It started with a special day! Credits: -blue paper, frame, butterfly: Summer Past by Retro Designs -gray paper, light square: Lotus by Three Paper Peonies -yellow paper, green brush: Green Leaf by Dido Designs -transfers, brad: ArtPlay Palette...

Oh, indeed! Thanks for the lovely card and Happy Easter to you.

Everyone's pages look so wonderful! I seem to be falling behind but I do get the images together sooner, just slow writing.

A very spring-like week and we all seem to be coming out of hibernation. Credits: -background, brush cluster, stars: Magic by Val C. Designs -name plate: Art Deco Blues 1 by Retro Designs -green paper, leaves: Organic by Val C. Designs -transfers, green ribbon, brush: ArtPlay Palette Lush...

Sorry to be late, Trudy, but hope it is/was the best birthday!!

Happy Birthday!! Hope it's been super.

Vera, thank you so much! What a wonderful surprise and support in photographing such odd things.

I don't know why I'm drawn to taking photos like this, but glad for the inspiration that led to my getting to use it. Credits: lift of one way caf by Adryane https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=307186&title=one-way-cafe&cat=1351 -background, brushes, transfers...

Totally love it! Wonderful effects and perfect period colors.
