August Theme Challenge - HOBBIES

[Sue Thomas]

Great page Art, you put a lot of work into it. It would have to be Canada, I see orca whales in the page, so I'll say you are out in BC. As I've seen orca whales, many years ago when I visited Vancouver Island.

Art, another great page to showcase your other hobby. Well done.

[Art Kuiper]

Thank you all, Ann, Annie, Sue and Cristina for your comments and suggestions. I appreciate the feedback.

 

And congratulations to Sue for guessing correctly. I do indeed live in British Columbia, Canada.

Showcasing my hobby of reading books. I used cass-bookshelves, I extracted the girl and her pile of books from an illustration for Book Week using the selection brush, the trees and bushes are tubes, the paper was from the Animal Kingdom kit, the background and title are colored with a rainbow gradient. The photo is from HViP and the white photo frame and the sky/clouds are both PSP Picture Frames.

 

Edit: I forgot to mention the title font is Georgina.

A truly delightful page Ann. Rather whimsical in it's own way, well done my friend, I love it. ;D

[Annie Tobin]

Reading is something I love to do especially at night after I have gone to bed.  This page is a bit of a teaser and beneath the multiple overlays are 3 of my favourite books.  See if you can find them ... Art started this with his can you guess where I live page.  The alpha I used for the title is from Far Far Hill.  Thanks for takin a peek my friends.  ;D

Annie: Your design is very clever! I can make out The Mists of Avalon and The #1 Ladies Detective Agency. The third one made me CHEER! Sharon Kay Penman's Here Be Dragons, the first in the Welsh Princes Trilogy. I own her complete set of works and have recently shared some with my daughter so now she's a fan also. So sad we lost Sharon last year. R.I.P.  :-(

 

We certainly have similar tastes in books, you and I. :-)

I did another layout for books and it has most of my favorite authors. I used an overlay that Corel supplied as a freebie and the script from Cassel for the circular word frame. It's titled Never Too Many Books!

[Annie Tobin]

Very good Ann! I love your page and can see there are some I have read and some that I have yet to disover. You are soooo right ... you can never have enough books and there is not enough time to indulge! Similar taste in books my friend, that is for sure. Thanks dear Ann, much appreciated my friend. ;D
