Same here, including my brother, but I am guessing most of my ancestors had International Harvester tractors back in the day. My hometown had an IH plant, and my dad worked in the tool-and-die shop there. The Deere Pavilion is really something to see. Kids can climb into the cab of several giant...

Here is one from me. Thanks for the challenge. I did some tonal image edits, lomo effect, blending and layering with three duplicated images to bring up the color of the construction equipment and place my daughter and grandson in shadow.

This is absolutely stunning, and I love, love your shadowing. Everything just pops.

It looks like your life has changed for the better. I am happy that you are happier! Nice photos to document your changes.

Total art journaling and so absolutely joyful. The page just flat out made me smile. Great job on this.

This is really, really adorable. What a nice way to show off the kit. I like how bold all the word strips are in the layout.

This caught me eye right away in the gallery. I like the color scheme of the oranges with the greens. Then I saw you took this at Dallas Arborteum - one of our favorite botanical gardens! This has such a classy feel about it.

Wow. This is so lovely. I like the way you situated the photo against the gray newsprint with the hint of blue in the brushes. The edgeword is very interesting as well.

Here is one from me, with a series of photos taken in 2006, the year we got our first family dog.

Wish I could take credit for most of the shadow work, but the shadows on all the squares were pre-made as part of the template by Jimbo Jambo.

One from me. thanks for the Word Art!

I just picked this LO for the Gallery Love game, and let me tell you, it was a tough decision. ALL your layouts are stunning. I really like the strip across and how it coordinates as a neutral with the paper. That ivy just pops.

I thought this was absolutely beautiful by Dorina; it is titled The Breath of Earth. Love the strip across the page with the framing and ivy. It was a tough decision! So many beautiful LOs.

That is a neat exhibit, and you featured it very well. It is a well-deserved Gallery Standout! That must have been such an interesting exhibit.

I like the way you blended the gradient over the wood paper, and then used the elements in a tiny, spread out format. I never think to do that, and I should! Thanks for the inspiration!

Those look like two very happy faces. You did a great job using the sample kit. You anchored the photo in the paper blocks very nicely.

Those little out of the way places with gracious owners are always the best. I avoid chains whenever possible! I like your paints and layering on your take for the sketch challenge.
