I thought I would try the split page technique using text today. I'm not thrilled with how the text came out, but it was my first try. The main font is Jean Jingga and the journaling text is Jezebel Pro. The background is from Peakpx. I had to merge all the layers before reducing the size to 600. Otherwise, the journaling text disappeared. I think others have mentioned that it happens when the text is in a selection.

that's fascinating Ann. And really inspiring.

Thank you, Corrie. I had always wanted to go to college but didn't get there until we sold the drive-in theaters. The degree was for advertising and publishing which was my first love. I'm still working those skills with the marketing and advertising for the theater to this day.

I just installed the Kindle app on my iPad and ordered the Kindle version! I don't want it on my pc because by having it on my iPad I can read it wherever I want. Now I just have to wait for my new glasses. Today I was at the optician's and after almost 5 month of eyedrops treatment my sight has improved and is no longer the 65% it was. It is a big relieve!

This topic certainly was a trip down memory lane! It is a long time ago that I thought about my schoolyears. Surprisingly I have no memories at all about kindergarten, no photos to trigger my memory, no! Elementary however is different story. At the time I was 6 there still was a great shortish of schoolbuildings in Rotterdam in the after match of WWII and a gigantic babyboom. We lived in an area where a new school just opened its doors and it was a huge building at least for that time. It had 2 floors with grades 1,2 and 3 on the first floor and 4,5 and 6 on the second. Each grade had 2 or 3 classes with over 40 children! I was a tall and shy girl and was always placed on the backrow. I was a good student and hardly noticed by the teachers, which was fine by me! Because the school was offering after school music lessons my parents enrolled me in the course. We learned the music notations, about rhythm, instruments, practiced singing etc. The first instrument that everybody had to learn to play was a flute (recorder). I have very fond memories of those music years. When I was looking on Maps I found out, to my utmost surprise, that the building still existed and it still is a school! The only difference on the outside is that in my days there weren't sunshades. For my layout I used Carole's music sheet freebie and a stitch brush. The font is 212 music, the music staff and notes are by Janet Scott, the mask by Jessica Dunn, the flute from the internet and the metronome is a picture tube. I made the 2 wooden brads with woodburning effect.

Mine was waiting for me when I got up this morning, Kindle and Coffee!

I just downloaded Kindle for my computer and ordered the Kindle version.

I ordered mine last week, and the ETA is July 24th!!! Go figure! (and I ordered from .ca too so no customs to cross!)

Possibly the late '70's or early 80's. This is a really nice layout.

I reworked the Corel graduation freebie to show my graduation back in 2000 from SUNY. Art is from their website.

I'm trying to make myself do something every day. Here's today's try. Can you guess what year I graduated?

Lovely Ann and with all those great-grands you never are short of a topic to use! ☺️

I created this for the song challenge but thought I would post it here also. John Denver Sunshine on my shoulder. The picture in the center is one I created from a screenshot from the Explore Audubon Boat House Osprey Nest Mother and two chicks.

It certainly is! It will be an ongoing thing, for sure!

That is wonderful news about the improvement in your vision! 💛

Maybe in the 1980s?

I'll hazard a guess too. You said you were one of the stoners and if you mean by that your were a fan of the Rolling Stones...... it could be the mid to end sixtieth!

I am working on a layout....but more importantly I'm working on my Amazon order. ETA July 20th!

What?...no prizes. Don't we all get a gold star just for showing up?

Nope...no prize for you! lol

Love it, Michele! I'm going to guess 1975? (What prize did I win?!?) 😉

Correct. It is not a bug, but just a little oddity of the function.

W = Water I know, I know. But that's the first thing that popped into my head. 🤪

Got distracted with Carole's new slipped-in freebie and had a nice new photo of Logan & Jonah so I worked this up using a Marisa Lerin kit called Wandering Road. The title is an alpha from Sheila Reid Alpha Mix. I had to create my own punctuation.

So, I have the Title and the Table of Contents

I found these photos on Facebook that were posted by Social Island Farm. I do love the black dirt fields of Pine Island/Goshen, NY. This is announcing a festival for this weekend. I used Carole's Hanging Photos script. The font is Cambria with a stroke. The background is part of one of the photos enlarged to full size and with 57% reduced opacity.
