I'm experimenting with some double pages with a journaling focus made from two 8x10 pages. PSE process: Created a double blank page template. Blended 2 papers for background. Added my journaling of 65 little things. Added & re-sized frames from template album. Placed frames where I wanted then...

Thanks! I've been thinking of creating a journal of thoughts or random ideas and a 12x12 photo book just doesn't seem to feel like the right size. Going to experiment with the 8x10 and see what happens.

Wow, thank you so much for the inclusion in the newsletter. You've made my day!

Thanks Diane! I'm working on a double 8x10 layout. I re-read your 2021 blog post about resizing. Lots of helpful tips. And your gallery is full of amazing examples. :heartpumpred:

Beautiful! The branch and pop of purple petunias frames your blended photo nicely. I feel like I could walk right into this spot and take a peaceful stroll. .

I love the textures of your background paper and all the added elements leading to the cute photo. The crown above the photo is perfect!

Fabulous! Love your use of people extractions.

Beautiful framing with the textures. I love how you created the title on the ladder element. Really great design!

Thank you for such lovely comments. :heartpumpred:

Lots of playing with Birthday Bundle No1 and tools to create this page at 8x10 size. So much playing I can't remember everything I tried or did. There will need to be more practice of this size layout. PSE process: Began with an artsy layered template & altered layers size & placement to fit...

Thank you Nancy!

Beautiful design! The addition of the children's faces completes this in a personal way. Love it all!

Thanks! I really think the journaling of the everyday stuff is as important as the big events. It's fun to look back on pages from year's ago. Maybe someone in the far future will get some joy viewing them too.

Thanks Beverly! It makes me happy that I made you smile. I didn't make the goose smile - he was quite angry and did a lot of hissing at me.

Thank you! This was a fun page to create.

There's something about an animal wearing a hat that amuses me too. :giggle4:

Thank you so much!

The rain has momentarily cleared the smokey skies so I'm finishing up playing with all the new products & going out to take more pictures. PSE process: Began by making a frame cluster & clipping my photos. Added a leaf cluster & masked parts, added layers from wordart cluster & a sun notion...

Fun creating with the New ArtPlay Linger Collection and Birthday Bundle No1 which is available for free with a $20 purchase June 12-16, 2025. PSE process: Placed a paper and added two artsy transfers. Moved and blended layers for a background. Placed a fotoblendz with clipped photo. Adjusted...

Love this! It's a perfect memory keeping page. Great photos & journaling. Glad your trip turn out to be a good one.
