Thank you for the challenge. Loved to play! Here is my entry. I've translated the journaling in the gallery. Layout is linked.

October Challenge #4 – “Create a page about YOU” Journaling: Chestnuts coming out of their prickly bark fascinate me immensely. I resemble them now that, having arrived in the autumn of my life, there is less need to defend myself and I show myself more.

Love it!

Beautiful picture and design. Love the message.

Wow!! This is fabulous!!

Love the composition you've choosen. Great autumn-presentation.

Fun challenge :flower: . Thanks!

My entry for the October Challenge 6 - Create a playing card.

Precious card!

It's beautiful. I saw the layout in de NewsLetter, and was convinced Maya made it herself :) But ... haha ... once again you hooked me with YOUR art!!

Ik zag m in de nieuwsbrief. Geweldig mooi!

Wow. You both are real ARTist!!

@joyfulheartdesigns and @lacy and @Amandajk and @mimes1 Thank you so much for your loving and supporting comments. :flower:

Magnifique!! Love the centered/white-space composition.

Hello Esther, thanks for the challenge. Here's my entry.

In memory of my BestFriendForever. Poem by Mary Oliver: to live in this world you must be able to do three things to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go

Wow! Like the design/composition! Beautiful job!

Love the design! Great job on the shadowing of the word-strips!!

Hi Sylvia. It was quite out of my comfort zone thanks to your challenge #6; and maybe you recognize the experience of ‘surprising yourself’?! :giggle4:

Love this series. Such a lovely boy and intense view.
