This is beautiful, Terri! And I'm so glad to hear you are working on a book of travels from several years ago. It's giving me the incentive to do the same. I love the photos, especially the perspectives, along with your journaling.

Good for you filling in the whole card! And with great results.

Thanks for a fun challenge! I went with the diagonal: title, one photo and paint.

Ah... thanks for explaining the magic. Beautifully done!

Ooh... While looking at your background, I can just feel the winter winds blowing. This is wonderful! I love the photo and the tiny elements you added.

What a lovely cozy scene! I just want to spend some time here near the fire, having a warm drink with you. I love the cascading title work, too. You've done amazing work here, Vicky!

Wow -- it looks like he's coming right at us! I love your choice of the striped paper for the background and your wonderful title work, too.

Wow! I love everything about your page: the gorgeous title work, the sweet photo and its framing and the tiny cluster with the bird. Just beautiful.

I was hoping you would do a winter page, Tracy. That photo is gorgeous and I love how the textured background looks like it's almost part of the evergreen tree. Beautifully done.

This is beautiful, Grace! Your photos always make me want to visit you and see those lovely scenes in person.

You've created a beautiful scene, and I love your title work.

I laughed out loud at the innocent expression on pup's face! :D Such a precious photo. I love the textured background you gave it and the sweet cluster, too.

I love the nostalgic mood of your page. It goes so well with that lovely photo.

Adorable photos and great extractions! I love her bright snowsuit against the wintery whites on the page.

You've captured such great moments! I love the photos and the beautiful cluster you made.

As I sit in the steamy Florida summer, it's so much fun to wander the Challenge gallery and see all the wintery layouts. Thanks for a fun challenge, Vicky! Here's my page:

Thank you so very much, Chris! I'm blushing at your praise and honored by the Standing O.

This is marvelous! I love the photo (lucky you getting to visit Taiwan!) and the delicate Asian elements you added. Mostly I love the way you added texture to the background.
