Wow! This is incredible and beautiful. Wouldn't that be wonderful to do? The dream bubble is so nicely done.

Interesting challenge. Background paper: 52-2025-01-VickiStegall-p10.jpg and overlay paper: wpd-AI-MixedMediaBackgrounds14-4.jpg. Part of a photo and a text fragment are also under the overlay. Using PSP I followed all the steps (plus) though some have different names.

DH was trying for new photos of the nice plumage gulls on the ice in the harbor. This is for an artsy mixed media challgenge. Background paper: 52-2025-01-VickiStegall-p10.jpg and overlay paper: wpd-AI-MixedMediaBackgrounds14-4.jpg. Part of a photo and a text fragment are also under the overlay.

Thanks for this delightful challenge, Anne-Marie!

This describes our arrival at a nature preserve yesterday. Strange that when we visited it last year it was also in the rain.

@AK_Tracy and all, I would mostly agree about snow and flowers except that every spring the daffodils get snow at some point and I have to share an old LO on snow and roses.

Love how you put the photos together with the map title. So nice you get to visit there.

I wondered if you would also see an abundance of flowers in the CPs. I was overwhelmed at first and wasn't too aligned with all the purple either. But I've seen wonderful LOs from the kits, so must be lots of other good stuff.

A beautiful LO with such cheerful photos and words.

Thank you so much Vera! I love the photo DH took and hoped I did it justice, so glad you think so. :lovey3:

I scrapped a lot of photos from this trip in 2007. Hopefully this looks a bit different now.

In northeast Arizona, in the Navajo Nation, the canyon has been home to different peoples over the centuries. We took a tour with a guide into the canyon. It was incredible and beautiful. It was my highlight of a three-week trip we took in May 2007 for genealogy, family, and to finally see the...

I have really enjoyed this series though they seem a little more exciting in the earlier ones.

Thanks for the fun challenge and great template.

We went out to dinner to celebrate our 57th anniversary, had a lovely time and even remembered to take each other's pictures.

Yes! Long, long ago a neighbor made some and it was very good. Needs to come from non-chemical treated areas though.
