  1. Here is my take on the Sketch.  The pictures of the Grand Canyon were taken by me on a trip we took in 2008.  Winter hung on a long time that year and though it was in the later part of May, snow was coming in as we drove through the South Rim road.  I really wanted to take pictures of the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon and it really showed up as we drove further down the road and stopped off at one of the areas where you could get close to the edge.  The colors used were from the palette obtained with the 2nd Palette Script.  I also used the ClipToIt script.  I made a pspimage template of the sketch.  All the elements and papers are mine.  The title font is Aryaduta.

  2. Still working on the Alphabet Challenge started early in 2022. I'm only on O, but plodding my way through. O is for Oklahoma. All the elements are my own except the state flag (got it on the internet), the map of Oklahoma (got it on the internet also), and the picture of the buffalo in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Preserve (got it on the internet also). Love google.
  3. Weather patterns are so interesting. We in Memphis, TN (middle of the USA) we had a drop of about 50 degrees in one day (yesterday - Thursday). Some here lost power briefly today (Friday), but essentially we are OK. Churches and other institutions opened their doors for those who needed a heated place to stay.

     

    Merry Christmas to all.

  4. Tried my hand at this. The torn edge was interesting, but I think I need more work on that. The torn edge, the twill tape, the denim paper, the metal star paper clip. The center picture I developed from a background from PS and various watercolor elements from Creative Fabrica. The font is from Creative Fabrica also - I think it is Ballpark.
  5. I will join in.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody also.  Thanks Sue for the art and elements you gave us through Carol's Countdown.  Trish - thank you for the neat backgrounds you gave us earlier this month.

     

    Thank you all for the neat layouts you have posted - beautiful and wonderful inspirations for us.

     

    Ann Seeber - congratulations on the new grandbaby to be - and to the parents.

     

    Love you all - wonderful friends with a common interest.

  6. Thank you all. It has been a wonderful week and I got to hold baby Wade yesterday. What a delight!

    I've been having fun trying to figure out how to do that special deal with the script text and making a place for background in back of it. Well, I finally figured it out and this is the result. The picture is of some of the decorations my granddaughter (mother of Wade) has put out for Christmas. Yes, I extracted it. The background snow scene is from Marissa Lerin (PS). The rest is mine.
