Sometimes, it's fun to not use a photo, especially with these lovely papers and transfers in this collection. A little wordart or quote can nicely complete the page. Thank you very much, @dwsewbiz.

Thank you very much @Thuria !

Love the layered paper background, the soft blues, and the faint flying blue geese! Fabulous colors clipped to the masks, and nice use of white space with a bit of transfer textures.

I'm swooning over your beautiful pink poinsettia! Mine is smaller, and I hope I don't kill it before I get more photos. :giggle4: The soft background blues are perfect to add softness to the photos of plants, cleaning elements, and compliment your blue/white pots in the lower right. Great...

This is goreous! I love your bright sky photos, the string of lights, and the lace, and element clusters! Beautiful!

This is a lovely piece and very special featuring your lovely neighbor! The Special Art is amazing...having her photo next to the artwork tells the story so beautifully! I love all your brush work and the edge overlay is the perfect finish.

The variety of European biscuits is fascinating! The focus on the star biscuit using a mask and stitched circles works beautifully. Adding the baking elements with red adds a nice bright festive note to the layout. I love the textures in the paper also. Beautiful and delicious!

Wow! She's already 1!! Fabulous, Diane! I love the photo groups, and the softer pastel background, with the sweet clusters and visual triangle. Happy Birthday Bowie.

Thank you @dwsewbiz. It would take you right to Seabrook Island, S.C. ;)

This is a perfect scene and wordart! Beautiful cluster of elements, Ana!

Oh my, @lpieters1! What an honor, and complete surprise. Thank you So much!

How adorable! Love the layout design, and frame, WA, bird cluster!

Thank you both very much @Miki @pam p.

This is just so angelic and beautiful! Love the soft white and gold, and the dreamy atmosphere.

Very beautiful! This really tells the story of your retirement dream. Love the background colors and blending of Max - such cute pets!

I forget about the different trees you have in CA with no leaves. The vibrant sky colors are so amazing, and perfect Autumn colors! Great job on the mask altering with the leaves. The piece of lace is a nice addition, and the blues in the buildings.

I'm fascinated with using the lyrics as a lead in to your layout - so many great songs to use for inspiration. When I read about the photo and reminding you of your home dining, I'm reminded of my grandmother's dining room. The background of this seems like a "faded memory" with the special...

What a fun layout of June in the tree, and having 3 versions of her...she looks very happy! I love the white frame mixed with the twig frame, and the fun wordart plus clusters of dried leaves and flower. Beautiful!
