Thanks for the inspiration everyone. I looked for some brownish paper and went with the flow.

Thankyou for the challenge, Adryane. 'Beautiful' is not being used as a descriptive word here. That's its name far as I'm aware. There's another one called the Diamond Firetail. Just has different markings.

Love how you used the big frames to express what a great day it was.

I love how you share your family life with us. This is framed so beautifully.

I thought I'd do a quick page using the Linda Davis tutorial about How to Create Simple DigitalART using one photo and an Artsy Paper and it morphed into this LOL I did start with an artsy paper I thought might work with my photo but had to recolour it. I blended in a second photo for...

Happy that you liked it, Jenn.

I started this a long time ago and didn't get it finished. Happened on it again while scrolling through my old layouts. There was a bit of luck involved in the taking of this photo. I never imagined for a moment coming across a photo opportunity like this.

I stared at this page for ages. Soul food.

Love it!!

Such great photos. Love your choice of template and all the beachy elements.

Wonderful treatment of the image. Love the Oxford 'tag'

A page that tells a story. Love it.

I got up close and personal with a cormorant once that was only interested in composing itself for a sleep on the rocks. I was surprised how quiet it was but it was a beach and it was probably used to people. Love the cluster and how you extended the big photo. Great page.

The effect of that blue sky is wonderful.

Fabulous heritage page. Love your journaling.

Love your use of the daisies and stains.

Love how you used the different elements. Particularly like the 'stick tree'.

Beautiful treatment of the image.

Found a lot of inspiration in this challenge. Great page to lift. Thanks Nancy.
