Eva, I'm delighted to have surprised you! Thanks too for that link.

Love the effect of the circle on SUNNY. Fascinating page.

Happy Birthday! Hope it is wonderful.

My cake has to be CHOCOLATE! Maybe the best ever was served by a restaurant now closed. It was beet cake, that is a chocolate cake made with beets as an ingredient. It was rich and moist. It was served with heated chocolate sauce and a large dollop of whipped cream.

What a story for the challenge! So glad it happened and you found the rings. Definitely need this page as a memento.

From what I see, you did create a wonderful octupus design. I think this page looks great. The nice clean lines are a real contrast to it. Super page.

You captured some great photos during the week. Nice arrangement of them on the page. Love the stamps and elements.

Wow. Bold, beautiful design and a great black background make your week's page super. Love that cat!

Diane, I adore the journal you photographed in progress each day. This page is also beautiful.

Everything looks so great, bright and happy in your page.

Love your beautiful page of the week's photos. That soft gray brings out the wonderful colors.

Hope it was a wonderful (if not necessarily graceful?) birthday! :bday

You really put the week together so beautifully!

A gnome, eh? No wonder you don't go off the reserve. :behindsofa: Seriously, you showed us the snow but didn't tell about all the effort it cost you. I'm sure you were very happy to get back to your brightly colored world!

Diane, I love your very colorful week. You'll see a little spring color creeping into mine, but look out for the Saturday photo!

A mostly promising week with regard to spring coming. Credits: -background, paint, flower bead, strip: Love Me Two Times by Tracy Martin -brown paper: Shabby Chic Rooms Part 3 by Retro Designs -bird, twig: Summer Past by Retro Designs -frame: ArtPlay Palette Night Before Christmas by Anna...
