What a wonderful keepsake! The sepia tone of the house, with the blue and purple is a great color combo. I also like that split frame.

Wow. This is so gorgeous! The focus on place and family in such an art-filled manner is pure inspiration!

Thanks for the challenge. I did a version of this from my daughter and her family's perspective after she talked about how stressful it was to travel for so long with a young infant and a dog. I know they were glad to be home.

Really beautiful. You selected a perfect image for contemplation.

That car and sign! I love how you mixed and matched the grungy vintage with the retro. That faded sunbeam paper in the crinkly matte is fantastic.

The lotus flower in the LO pulled me in, and then I read your description. My heart is breaking for you and I am sending condolences. The photo is so beautiful and the view is stunning. It is a perfect spot for meditation and remembrance. :hug1:

He really is a very happy little guy. That baby wakes up smiling. :)

The coffee cup - hilarious. But besides that, I love the sentiment and your fun approach. I feel the same way usually, but I must admit that since the passing of our dog Chief (two months ago yesterday), I feel the stillness in the house way too much. I like all the bold lines in the layout!

Thanks for the challenge. Here is a negative space, simple layout from me.

Thank you for the challenge and the template. Here is mine.

So pretty!

Fantastic photos and I love the way you layered them. The Bison Jam title work is really inspired! LOL.

Love all the neutrals with a hint of yellow! Great use of a tiny photo, too.

That patterned paper caught my eye in the gallery. So vintage looking - I love it! Then you paired it with the coupon book frame and the layered paper ephemera, and I loved it even more. I like how there is so much "negative" space on the page. Great photo!
