EEqually out of my element were the elements in this kit, but the colors in this month's Color Play are so my wheelhouse, I couldn't resist and I had a blast with this.

NNeutrals are so out of my comfort zone, but that window frame drew me in-

Vicki took a gamble on a 5 year old, but you sure didn't disappoint. :rotfl: Here's to the next 15! Great grab bag!

I know what you mean about shadows , but sometimes you just need to let your inner sun shine. I can tell it's in there because that gorgeous sunny background paper came from you. I love the clustering, it has such an ethereal feel. I'm so glad you brought your beautiful designs to the O and I...

Those photos are -utiful! I love the stacking below the photos and the way it pulls the colors from the photo . That background is perfect, it has the same feel as your photo background. Lovely

This is wonderful, I love all of the white space. The chalk font wrapped around the corner of the photo is a fun touch, blackboards have sort of gone the way of the dinosaurs and library card catalogs. The border along the left edge is wonderful, I love all of the bits and bobs, and the ones in...

That's always when we started in Minnesota too, then they started backing it up up into August. I hated August because of that, not that I'm retired I don't mind it at all LOL. Thank you for taking part in my challenge.

This is magical, it reminds me of the first time I saw the ocean in 2018 in Maui- I went snorkeling and it was a magical experience like this. It was like jumping into a gigantic salt water aquarium, with these amazing creatures. This started my love affair with the ocean.

Those pictures are amazing, total relaxation and that serenity that sand and sunshine bring. The layout colors are perfection, they feel like an extension of the photos. The leaf fronds overhanging the photos is just wonderful.

This is gorgeous. I lave those papers which is why I have them and can't wait to use them.

I really try to do the same, I was doing really well, and I have to be honest I get overwhelmed by all of the storytelling, artsy layouts and run out of ways to comment on them. I'll be better this month.

This is adorable! Love the photos and the photo treatment is incredibly cool ! Love the template choice, it displays them perfectly. Beautifully done.

This is beautiful, such a great photo and you've blended it in so perfectly with the letter. Adding the lei to letter was a brilliant way to tie the two together. Love the soft colors of the background, they suit the photo so well.

My granddaughter, Lauren, when she was 4. We were at my cousin's apple orchard/pumpkin field.

Thank you so much, I'm so honored.

Thank you so much, I've had all of these This Day" photos from years back popping up lately and I have those passage of time "pangs" as summer seems to have disappeared as quickly as he's grown. I appreciate your kind words, neutrals are so out of my comfort zone.

This just made me go AHHHH.... Totally love the composition and the way it emulates the stream and the banks with the bits of lace and the lovely clusters. Amazing photos and you chose the perfect soothing papers to set them off

Oh jeepers, have the class, haven't started it yet, now I really MUST get after it! I LOVE this! Those extracted sunflowers are just FABulous, they look like the fields of sunflowers this time of year when the sun is shining on them. Love the title. you've really inspired me to get after it!
