just imaging me giving you a silent hug and not letting go ... :-))))

I feel left out, Dasha, no "HI" for me... :-) good to see you here!!!

yay Dasha!!! I don't watch any of these shows but I do love your hunks!!!!! :-) bring them!! lol

what a great match - the mask and the paper...and how you combined all (and so different) kits/sets to create this unified piece...well done!!

the textured brushes nicely suggest sloshing waves around their feet and the neutral background give the photo extra light...very pretty!!

oh, this is beautifully put together, with such a great photo!!

TERRIFIC!!!! the elements on the side, so skillfully clustered, give the page such interesting flow!!

it's amazing how the grungy brushes around bring focus back to the sweet photo!!

love how the circles convey the message of some secret thoughts floating around her...beautiful!!

it much be surprising to see such architecture in desert but the landscape in Arizona is so majestic and remote so maybe it's good place to reconnect in the Buddhist sense... the elements you used work beautifully to evoke the meditative feel!!

such beautiful colorscheme, the whole page is full of mystery and questions, inviting in... LOVE!!

loooooove this idea of the red accent underneath...it give the picture such boldness!!

this is stunning!! and surprising at the same time, especially the contrast between the mystery surrounding the picture of the door and the daring text!! :-)

I feel this is about someone funny, "rascal-ish"...so much energy is going on the page!! :-)

oooh, what an idea with coloring the whole "drawing"!!!

how beautiful!!!! you embellished the simple overlays to perfection!!

wow...a MASTERPIECE!! serene and yet with energy going on!!

that's great to hear, Ellen!!

joyeux anniversaire, Nini!!!

wow...that's awesome!!
