The blooms are our orchid last year but today the first bloom opened for this year making it a special thought for this lovely mini kit.

Agree that your colors are so striking and the photos special. Love the color you gave of the border in the template. Glad to see you got the SO.

Lovely page and as always interesting framing that works so well. Love the iris element and the rest of that cluster. How cool to have the Bobolink still there!

Great idea to use the musical paper for the music inspiration and perfect with your photo and the music-related elements. Looks lovely.

I love dark backgrounds, and you've created a perfect minimal LO with this one. Great light colors to contrast and with the feeling of waves.

Happy Wednesday Birthday Fairy! I can't spend so much time here right now but I'm trying to keep up a little bit. The first day challenge became very special for me and I'm working on the games. Always so happy to see you here. :heartpumplove:

You may not be a "bird person," but this page is beautiful. How neat to get the flight shots while working with the blackbird. Love the signpost with the ribbon and dried stem and the upper left geese in flight.

With so many wonderful pages by @KimPay I made it easier for me by choosing this excellent bird one.

Lovely card with that photo. It's both hilarious and so sweet and touching. I like the blue and brown combination too.

What a fabulous exhibit and perfect photos with gradient paper and leaf elements plus a ticket. What fun in the photos.

Loving this slightly moody page. The photo grabs the eye, but the words give meaning and then all the various elements have me looking for more: the lace, stamp, compass, birds.

Great use of the color palette! Wonderful AI creation too. Together they make a striking page.

You both look adorable. Sweet way to capture the memory. The paper colors are great with the photo.

Love all the circles to make a bubbly birthday feeling with your cute self at 19. Like the softer colors.

Cheryl, thank you so much for mentioning my LO. :lovey3: I was afraid it might be too dark, but the song really insisted to me to do this. Maybe something we all think about when someone we cherish was in that situation.

I went with "19" by Paul Hardcastle. It's focused on the war in Vietnam and the average age of soldiers of 19. It always reminded me that my brother fought a similar (though much colder) war in Korea at age 19. So that's what I scrapped.

Inspired by "19" by Paul Hardcastle, I've scrapped about my brother who served in the war in Korea at age 19 well before the song's focus on Vietnam. The song always did remind me how young my brother was then.

Wonderful rustic rusty page. Love the framing with elements and texture.

Love all the balloons, their stripes and the striped effect of the borders. Great colors with just a pop of bright.
