70! i have much to learn... ;) i have bit of a thing for herringbone patterns at the moment, and it's a lovely colour combo you've used. i love the photo on the angle with the stamp underneath - clever focal point.

i like the full-page border, and the black and whites let the photo shine beautifully!

this is beautiful! i love the element cluster and the combination of the torn paper with the textured frame. gorgeous photo too!

wow! that's really cool!

i love the tone-on-tone numbers - very clever!

cute photo! i love how you've used happy colours with a neutral base.

i usually do 12x12 or 8.5x11 pages, so i decided to do a 12x6. i also usually use a heap of stuff across ranges, so the only thing on this page that is not from the paislee press huntington range is the glitter alpha, and the font for the date.

oh, wow! this is amazing! i just *love* the way the photo blends into the background paper, and i'm terribly impressed with the restraint you used to add the artsy details (i go overboard and it looks awful), and that bird! too cute!

oh! this is what i want to be able to make! i can't really explain it, but something just *speaks* to me - and hooray for baker's twine in pixel format! :D

this is adorable! i love how the baby's all wrapped up under the layers, and the watercolour-y splodges and the teeny tiny hearts just set off the photo so nicely.

this is so adorable! i love the pops of colour and the way the photo has been blended into the background.

w. o. w. powerful words, displayed with beautiful simplicity that has just enough artsy detail.

the elements and colours you chose suit the old-timey feel so well. i particularly like the leafy frame.

i love the idea of a full-page photo with small supporting photos. great combo of fonts, too!

kiliki, i got a little worried when i saw your photo - it's just at the end of summer here, s everything is dryyyyy, and over the last few summers we've had several bad bushfires in our region. glad to realise that you're not evacuating and trying to save your house... :eek2: cute hat...

i loved your page so much that i lifted it, helen! i'm bit of a sucker for scripty text, splatters, and that colour combo... thanks!

eek! let's see if my first upload works... i was inspired by helenh's layout capturing an instant. kitty designs papers, paislee press huntington inksplat and background text stamp, one little bird flower, nina scraps clipping mask, and a couple of things not from here. i like to mix and...

so sorry for your loss, chris - monday was the first anniversary of the death of a friend of mine (she was 23, had been married for six weeks three weeks before getting sick and holding on for another three weeks in hospital) so i've been feeling a little morbid lately, and it feels like i've...

thanks, ladies! :bounce:

thanks for the welcome - more birthdays? my younger daughter turned four today, so i guess i'll have to keep partying... :-D
