Sue…Another great card with the White Tail Deer. I always appreciate your little “tutorials” on how they are done. I am almost ready to switch places with you though. Temps here in the 90’s and Eta heading our way.
Lynda…What a great layout. Blue Mooon, my DH’s favorite, and Margarita’s mine.
Lynda…Love your Bottoms Up layout and after this next week I may have to take your advice.
Ann Seeber...Alex Trebek was such an icon. He will be missed. Great Drinks layout. I definitely need your quote, LOL. And agree with Lynda on your fighting wine glass and coffee mug. Thank you for the compliment on my layout. I just used the lyrics mainly as part of the background and that was the name of the drive up.
Liberia…We all seem to have good taste. There is a spider on nearly every page I make. Some easy to detect; others a little harder. It started when my granddaughter was about a year old. We would play find the spider. She is now 21 and whenever she or her mother get a scrapbook from me, the 1st thing she does is go looking for the spiders. 😉

Like how you blended the bottle pictures with the apple. And, of course, the sheep pictures at the top are a cute addition. Your second Drink challenge is just a gorgeous and the quote is so apropos.
Sawnie…Nice job on the photo manipulation and a great scrapbook layout. I really like the layout and how you used so many pictures; but still had room for plenty of journaling.
Sue…I always love seeing your bird pics, how you frame them and the word art (quotes) you place upon them. The little blue jay is darling. Great job on the Native Aster and what a beautiful flower.
Ann Seeber…Great title for your “Angry Birds” layout. Had to laugh. Love your grosgrain ribbons. I, too, find it unfortunate that more straight ribbons aren’t included in kits. But at least we now know how to make them. When I did Lab 10 mod 3, I used the Chalk-hand-lettering font.
Marie-Claire…Beautiful calendar pages. I, too, like the idea of putting the names of the days on the calendar. Wish I had thought of it. Love the font you used.
Jnet…November, December and the cover are really stunning.
Sue…Great spider pic (even though I have been bitten by a brown recluse 40+ years ago, I still love the creep crawlies, especially the crab-like orb weavers) Great work with the text and vectors.
Ann Seeber…Beautiful pages. The pictures are awesome and just adore your fenced in turkeys.
Corrie…You have done a great job one your pages. The pictures, the flowers and the elements make each one special. And your cover is awesome. I really like the inclusion of the little flower pictures from the months.
Liese…What a nice way to gift your family. Your January page is delightful (love the silhouettes).
MoniqueN…Fantastic pages and cover. Like how you changed the gradient so each month is a little different. My sister covers her kids faces too, so don’t worry about it.
Bonnie…A beautiful way to treasure those friends who are like family. Your cover is wonderful and the pages are lovely. Do like the wordart you have chosen and the addition of extra pictures on some of the pages. And being an August child too and a lover of cats, I just adore the little string art cat you placed on that month.I just finished August this morning. Darling DH bought us tickets, for my birthday, to see Jeanne Robertson in October. So excited. August birthstone color is a pale green.
Up to July. Had it all finished and suddenly realized I had not included my granddaughter’s birthday. So back to the pspimage to make the change and resave the jpgs again. Whoa…that must mean I’m getting old, lol. July’s birthstone color is red and luckily it is also a major color of our 4th of July.
Lynda…Thank you. As far as feedback, I keep a notepad open and make comments there then copy/paste into the forum. I am sure I have missed people along the way 🙁
Susan… I know where Dahlonega is. We attended a wedding at a resort there years back.
Raymond…Lovely job on your calendar page. The background sets the mood for the photos and is a great way to remember our family. Great job on adding text to your calendar page.
Sharon…Four more beautiful pages. I really like how you change the gradients so it is not always the same and the use of hearts/elements on the dates. Wow, you have been busy to have completed all the months and each one is simply gorgeous.
Jnet…Thank you for the comments. And with that you have two more fantastic pages. The photo graphs are delightful and the colors you used for each one are perfect.
Marie-Claire…I am sure there are many ways to accomplish combining two masks; but for me, I decide which mask I want to use, then using the pick tool I click on the white part of the mask and pull it over the other. Then delete the one I’m not using.
Ann Adams…Awecome calendar pages. I really like that you have included your furbabies into them and like the font you use for the months.June’s birthstone is pearl but I chose to go with the alternate Alexandrite for the color; light purple. One of the places we like to eat, World of Beer, has the most unique cobb salad. When you touch it, it unfolds like a flower. Wish I had gotten an after shot. At Escapeology, all I had to do was stand back and drink wine, while Pan and Bryce figured out the clues. Okay that is just a prop; We did fairly well together with Bryce being the one to figure it out most of the time.
Most of the pictures I used are from 2019 or 2018. Needless to say 2020 didn’t give much in the way of taking pictures. And while we live in a beautiful beach community, the beaches were closed down. So we spent a lot of time at home. I can at least look back to the year before with dates at the theater and WOB. May’s birthstone is emerald, so I tried to stick with green.
With the pages, within reason, I have tried to stick with the birthstone colors for the pages. April is diamond, whoa. Instead I chose to go with the April Fool’s palette. And yes, that one pic has my daughter born the day after St. Pattie’s. She would have been born on the 17th if she hadn’t been so stubborn, LOL. The flowers aren’t really flowers but grape leaves just coming out. My sister has a small vineyard and gets the most beautiful grapes.
Already up to March. My DH’s favorite month. He is half Irish, half Scotch. The girl is our “adopted” daughter Meg. We have known her for 5-6 years and she comes over on Halloweens and Christmas’ to help decorate. Again I used Cassel’s paper pattern to make note paper but used the color changer pen to give it a slight green tint.
Sue…Thank you for the information. It is always appreciated and I do try to incorporate it into some of my work. Always wanting to learn new ways.
Susan…If not to bold, can I ask where in the Georgia mountains? My granddaughter lives in Silva, NC and daughter in Clayton, GA.
Raymond…Very interesting technique used for your December page.
While they may not see to go with the month, all of the pictures included each month were taken during that month. Also I neglected to mention that the note paper I used on January (and you will see on various other months) is from one of Cassel’s paper patterns with the notebook edges from lab 8 module 12. I did take Sue’s advise and changed the background on the boxes which included birthday, anniversaries; but I didn’t do it for all the boxes.
Okay, little late posting although I have been working on them daily.
January includes a pic of Cat. I was wishy washy on this because my DH loved Cat and he can get rather surly when he is brought up. We lost Cat (Kfcap…Kitten formerly known as Prince) at the start of the pandemic. I have pretty much stuck with Kimeric Kreations kits for the backgrounds (with a gradient overlay) and additions. I chose Bondoni MT Poster Condensed for the info in the date boxes and Wild Creatures for the months.
Ann…You chose beautiful pictures to begin your project with. I can’t wait to see them all. Lovely gradient to use with your pages. Oh Ann, what a beautiful baby. Awesome pictures. Great job on the calendar and what an idea to use silhouettes and clipart as additional designations. Adore the family pictures on your cover.
Sue…Fabulous way to add notes to your January page. Same for the February page. The photos of your daughter and the horses are priceless. The Coyote cover as is the farm equipment calendar page. Beautiful font for the month. Love your cover page. Reminds me of many an evening. October and November are great and I really like how you incorporated an additional photo. The triptych landscape is a great idea. And I appreciate the info on lightening the date boxes. I will have to go back and to that to some of mine before posting. April is a beautiful page. The gradient works so well with the photos. Both your June and October pages are lovely. It is a shame they don’t like to write on them. One of the things I cherish is the calendars my mother made notes on and kept. I got them when she passed away and they were a treasure trove of information. May has turned out just a perfect as the previous pages. Thanks for the information on how you created your gradient.
Linda…Awesome bird pictures they are quite elegant. Can’t wait to see the finished pictures. Love how you finished out January. So sorry to hear about your husband; hopefully by this time he is on he way to recovery.
Minka…Wonderful pages. The gradients are superb and the pictures are priceless. Looks like you live in a beautiful area. Really like how your used the space below the pictures for your quote and moving the month to the side. I am in awe of your March through June layouts. Perfect in everyway.
Alicia…You are some photographer. Lovely pictures and lovely pages. Like how you incorporated information about the pictures below them.
Jnet…Great calendar pages. Beautiful layout of the pictures and I like how you chose a gradient that works so well with the pictures. Wow, your March page is beautiful and colorful. Again another perfect gradient use.
Lynda…Love, love, love January page. Awesome font, excellent picture and the perfect gradient. Wow, you have been busy and I like that you chose to use the flowers of the months, birthstone and information.
Sharon…Interesting use of a circular gradient. That would never have crossed my mind. Lovely pages.
Gerry… Great idea on the inclusion of pictures of those having birthdays, etc. during the month. I can so relate with you on the snow. I pretty much grew up in the mid-west and having no snow in NW Florida is definitely striking. Have gotten use to it though (although when it does, everyone I work with calls me for a ride to work, LOL)
Marie-Claire… Lovely calendar pages and I am so in love with the star of them.
Raymond…A delightful calendar and nice job you did. Love Tattoo, reminds me of Cat (yes, I named our cat Cat; everyone else called him the Kitty Formerly Known as Prince).
Ann Adams...Great job on the pages and awesome pictures. I like how you chose to use different fonts for each month.
Corrie…Fantastic job on your calendar pages. Beautiful pictures.
Cristina…Oh My.. What wonderful pages. I wish I had thought to do something similar with my Lego people.
Susan…Awesome pages. I really like how you as incorporated a picture as a background in some of them. And like you I am also in Florida but further north.Lab 10 Module 10
