I love this! It's very good advice. Love the selfie. Great job with placement of the elements.

Beautiful lady! I love the quote. Great job with the blend work.

The statue is cute. I love how it is sitting on the frame.

Beautiful blending of the backgrounds.

Congratulations! Your layout will be featured in next Friday's Cheery O Favorites blog post.

This is beautiful. I love how the photo flows into different frames. Great job with the blending of the photos and background.

Beautiful clustering. The background really makes it stand out.

Well than I want to be a maple leaf. . . beautiful quote. I love the blending at the bottom.

@AK_Tracy sometimes I just wish the rule were not enforced so much because in the end, the creation is my own and if my inspiration leads one way, but the challenge says to do something else, sometimes I just end up not doing the challenge at all because I like the layout the way it is and I am...

I love it! Great job and glad you found a motivation. I, myself, am not very good at following directions. I usually end up having to change one layout or another because I didn't follow the instructions all of the way. I wish the challenges could be "inspirations" instead :giggle4:

Thank you ladies.

@FloridaGranny, I brought about 25 ducks to hide. We hid a few each day. In return, we found about 14 ducks, which we re-hid a few days before the end of the trip. It was so fun!

@AK_Tracy @veer @bitzee Thank you. I didn't fit in the dress for many years, but had gastric sleeve surgery 3 years ago and lost 85 lbs.

@AK_Tracy We left out of Long Beach, California.

Thank you for the challenge. Here is my page:

We woke up around 6:30am (10:30am at home I think). Total distance traveled so far is 1,065 nm. The sea depth now is 14,620 feet. The temperature is in the mid 60’s today and partly cloudy.

Here is my ATC. Thanks for the challenge.
