Lab 14 Mod 2. Requirements: ink dot paper - I used a pink paper behind it and used the blend mode Luminance and so the ink dots are pink; Irregular Text Stroke - the title. The font is Arial Black as was suggested. The picture is of my grandmother (mom's mother) taken in 1953 and she was in her 70's (late 70's). It is my favorite snapshot of her - in her kitchen in Upper Michigan - a wood stove which also kept the kitchen warm - and she used an old fashioned iron to iron clothes - it was not electric, but was heated on that old wood stove. I remember also the chickens she kept and would kill one (an old hen) on Saturday and cook it on Sunday - our Sunday dinner. She had 7 children and the middle son stayed home - never married - and took care of her and grandad. the rose at the corner of the picture is one isolated from a group by Creative Fabrica. I see that the ink dots paper doesn't show up so well. I will post the paper separate.

Love the photo! It could be my grandmother in her kitchen. That's what I thought of. Great dot pattern too.

Early May...is there a sweeter, more lovely, time of year? At least here in my part of the world. The flowering trees are spectacular and colour is back in the world. Grabbed a few quick shots while I was out today to capture the beauty of it all. (Except the Forsythia, which I got online.)

Used PSE 2024 (my Affinity has expired and I can't afford to get back into it) and a template from Anna Aspnes. Some papers from a kit I won from ET Designs. The metal bee is also AA. 

I will be looking at this next winter.

Beautiful photos and layout Julie. Can I suggest you move your post to the May 'What are you working on' thread so that no one misses it.

Hi Julie - I almost missed this because it's languishing back in April whereas we've all moved on to What are You Working on in May?
