It took a while to extract these Roses from photos I have taken over the years. The frame is one of cass-ColoredPetals-SquareFrame. I kept looking at it and decided it needed a frame and found the perfect one for it.

April Showers Papers and puddles from Jessica Dunn on PS/DS. The people are characters from the game. The font is AlphaShapes raindrops, free from DaFont. The creator is Fonts & Things and they have some very interesting fonts https://www.dafont.com/fonts-n-things.d1209.

Amazing shot, Sue! It looks like an inspiration poster background. I would frame it and hang it in my home.

I agree, and thank you ever so much. It's one of those photos where the eye is drawn to everything, and not to one specific spot.

I know, everything about it. The lead in lines of the fence, the water creating the sky reflection making a repetition pattern of sky, land, sky, land. A joy for eyes!

The no kit masterclasses are my kind of layouts for showcasing many of my photos. There is a template which Carole made available to us for the weave layout. Perhaps she will send it to you if you were to to ask her for it. It isn't that difficult to create yourself. Take your time, I'm confident you can do it.

Because I like this theme challenge and I like this mask I made another layout using a photo from a crabapple (Malus) tree in my neighborhood. With a more colorful photo and another background it looks completely different. The background is made with 2 papers and a blendmode; all the elements are by Jessica Dunn and I made a very thin frame and the font is Beladine Gadelia.

The last couple of weeks in every patch of grass along roadsides and in public gardens is colored by "speenkruid" ( pilewort - ranunculus ficaria - lesser celandine) and this week I finally got the time to take a photo when we had a sunny spell.

Thank you ever so much Michele. It's also the view I have from my kitchen window. Mother Nature repaints the landscape regularly. Not this morning though. It's foggy. It was +16c yesterday, then dropped to -4c overnight.

Since you suggested them Sue, I've watched the No Kit series. One I had seen before, and the other two were interesting. The basket weave one (Kit 3) is a great inspiration, but I'd have to watch a dozen times to get it right. No time for that, sadly.

This past week we have some stunning sunsets and sunrises. The temps are rising slowly, obviously the ground is still frozen, hense the standing water. Rainbows are created by water droplets in the air. The colours are wave lengths of light. Like in a sunrise, as in the image below. Red is recalled the red shift, as the light is stretched. Stretched light causes the red colour.

And here is a second project, about a place in Germany (say shtorkoh, meaning storks in English) Storkow about a 40 minutes drive east of Berlin and 20 minutes west from the Polish border. It is part of the outer, historic military ring around Berlin. Interesting place. Graphics JBS and Marisa Lerin, fonts are Qiara on title and Poppins on body.

Another one from the 1960. Some graphics JBS Designs, rest myself. Again 10x8 inches, fonts are Lato on body, Pacifico on title Rock Beach on location and Georgia on date.

Great calendar page @Ann Seeber, love the open book look. Is that a script as well? I was hoping to get into scripts on Easter Monday but life had different plans... It sure is on my list. Thank you for the lovely kit @Louyse Toupin!!! I have a little project going with photos from the sixties and seventies. Some are slides, all are scanned, except the one on this page 😉 Graphics JBD Design discontinued. 10x8 inches. Font is Lato on body and Nickson Four on title.

Hello, I have built a mini kit for : https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/forums/digital-scrapbooking/digitalscrapbookcom-blog-trains/apr-2024-blog-train-final-list here is my part, to download it just go on my blog: Digiscrap Angelhaze

That is lovely Corrie! And that mask works in any orientation. None of our trees are ready to bloom like that yet! But I love it when they do.

Happy April. Here is my monthly Wild Cat Calendar for April 2024. I used the cass-open-book script for the top and a calendar from Gina Jones. The Snow Leopard photo was taken by my granddaughter, Jackie Thorpe, at her Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park in Mt. Ariel, PA. The title font is Fredericka the Great, and the text font is Agency. The background gradient is labeled "Bondi." The "Say No" brad is mine. I will also post this on our Facebook page full size for anyone who would like to print it out at 8.5" x 11" which is what I do.
