Following Bonnie's suggestion, I have added some gardening tools, a bag of soil, and the seed packets (the coin is for scale). Also, since she has had a knitting project for a while, I figured I could add some wool in a box. Finally, I have added some more details. Can you spot them? It is still not completely finished. I also have two hanging plants that are not in the scene yet. The shelf is not glued yet so nothing is stable! If I sneeze, it all tumbles down!

Last night I created this birthday ecard. After discovering the May tut/tech challenge this morning, I decided to use it to advertise a fictitious event. There are so many different tag designs which can be used in so many ways to help showcase photos. The one with the threaded ribbon I copied from a magazine. I created my own version of a ticket design, which I saw somewhere or other. I jot down on paper designs that I see on the telly, or in a magazine, or online ads creating then as when needed. The pinned tag design will be familiar to you. I frequently use many other techniques in my pages, putting emphasis on small realistic details.

This is looking amazing...It's so fun to find new additions!... What material do you use to create them? The vases look like real ones. Good idea to add other hanging plants... I have a few at home too, but nowadays, they are mostly from Ikea ? ... Before, I would have relatives to take care of the plants while we were away, but now they are not close/able anymore.

I have another layout in my Chattanooga Trip Album.

But there was the April class!

Shs so Blessed , in a way I am too my mom didn't throw me in a trash can where no one could hear me. I cant say my sister and brother after me was as lucky, my sister did eventually have a adopted family and had her own family shes a good mom Your a Super Great Mom and Grandma, Those People and us are blessed. your a Great Teacher I am trying still ?

Hide your mouse!

I am also learning to stop acquiring things that I will probably never use or use very little. I bought a tablet a year or so ago (Wacom) and I like it but I don't even use that enough!

This is lovely, Mary. I like the use of a mask with grungy edges.

U = Unconditional Love

T = tenacious

I see the starbucks cup and books, wonderful books. This looks so awesome. The bottom shelf is perfect, it's just what anyone would put on the shelf. the pots are all different just like we all have at home and different colored too. This blows me away. Your daughter will be even more blown away I am sure.

S -Social Secretary --- Part of her job is keeping the all the kid's appointments, activities, etc. organized and doable.

Maybe there was more to "c" in that acquarium, ackqwareeuhm, akweryumm...aquarium. ? (I think I have been spelling it wrong too)

Beautiful layout, Mary. Following along on your trip, I wish I'd visited Tennessee! (btw, there is no "c" in "aquarium" ?)

Yes - I have 2 or 3 more layouts to do, then I will print it.

Fabulous mask! What a beautiful bridge that is. This is quite the undertaking, and it's going to be a wonderful album. Will you print it?

I had some problems with it and decided not to install. It is not expensive to buy and I will go that route, when and if I decide if I need to have it vs. I want to have it. Their website says $20 (presumably USD) and for commercial use. Mary and Donna have used it though so they might have some good input for you. I will buy it eventually, maybe, but right now I have to keep on learning what PSP can do because I'm really good at collecting stuff (including nifty programs) that go un-used as I dont have the amount of time I need to put into them to be proficient enough to make good use out of the purchase. It's really hard for me to have restraint. I'm thinking a better choice would be to save my money for a tablet, that I would make good use of I'm sure.

Susan, I have dandelion seed-head photos from a layout I did previously. See if you want anything from this...

I'm making an effort to participate in more challenges and for a change everything is mine. I used cass's brad factory and filigrane scripts. It's my first 1-2-3 challenge so I hope what I did qualifies. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
