What incredible photos to have, including the church! That potted plant is just the right touch.

This is so pretty and looks delicate as you miniaturized the sketch. Beautiful use of brushes and combined fonts.

Oh my the sunset makes those buildings just glow! It was a great idea to add in the paper rather than a border to offset everything and that teal is perfect for balance. I like how your background paper looks like stucco, adding to the architectural element.

Oh, this one made me laugh! That frosty beard! It reminds me of my dad, who sported a big 70s mustache when I was a kid, and he would come in from shoveling the driveway and rub that frosty yuckiness all over my neck. Pure torture, but I was laughing the whole time. Thanks for posting a LO that...

I like this so much, and especially the title filled with the newsprint. I will need to remember to adapt that some day! Great use of splashy graffiti behind!

Great photos and I really like the horseshoe cluster!

Thanks for the sketch idea, Amy! I have created two facing layouts based on the sketch, using photos from our summer vacay last year.

Yep, that is him! I haven't scrapped many photos yet. Many of the best newborn images have his name on the clothes, so I won't put them on a public forum. Thanks for asking!

Well....I was hoping that the template kind of looked like a garden plan or an herb or annual garden all divided up, but I'll go with the window as well, LOL!

Wow, Laura. Busy. Busy. Busy.

Well, I never knew the farms weren't much closer to you! I am sure you miss having them just five minutes away! Great photos.

Thanks for the challenge. It was meaningful to put our garden ventures into words. I'd been wondering how to use this weird but interesting photo, and this was the opportunity.

Wow, Amy. I'm just now popping into the gallery and looking at some LOs from the past week, and I did NOT recognize this as yours! Gorgeous AJ layout! So much stuff, and I am sure this is somewhat how you are truly feeling after these past difficult months. The topic is serious, but the layout...

Love the mimicked trees and the composition.

Love the sketchy mask and the sweet title. Very pretty.

So clever to have your files held offsight by a relative. I've been considering uploading my log of images to the cloud, but will need to buy more space. Right now I just have several backups. I used to send one backup to my husband's office and need to get back in the habit again.

Those papers are incredible and the blended edge adds so much personality. Wonderful photos.
