Kasany I agree this font won't look good on a layout with a busy background but on an almost one color background it is easy to read. For instance I'm thinking of journaling on a label etc.

Thank you and somehow the photos just "asked" for that color. When I had them on a lighter background it didn't work. This way the photos blend in with the background and I had to reduce the opacity on Carole's frame because it was bright orange. I spend most of the time playing with the settings for the background; the photos with the masks were easy. The wild carrot actually produces a white carrot, but to us it isn't very tastefully. The seeds are mostly used in a meadow mix or sown on their own in a garden for ornamental purposes because the plant is very decorative and it is a sturdy plant, circa 60-70 cm high.

L = Lollipops

I didn't go for a school theme as well. This font is so easy to read that I probably am going to use it often. Besides the frame by Carole I made the rest from scratch with a lot of different blend modes and reduced opacities. Both my photos are from the same wild carrot in the small meadow where I often pass by. When the plant dies down it makes a tight ball over the seeds in the flowerhead which give it its nickname "vogelnestje" (in Dutch) and that translates to birdnest.

Julie lovely and yes you should take your phone with you, you never know if there will be something interesting! I have my phone always with me and have taken a lot of photos this way, actually more so than when I go with the intention of taking photos.😉

Daniel maybe I'm going to say something you already do, but when drawing a shape you have to hold the shift key on your keyboard. In this way the shapes stay as you want them.

C = Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lovely photo and it reminds me that I have to take some photos of my hydrangeas too before they are totally brown and dried, which can also give nice photos.

I so agree with you! And I don't want to give my info everywhere any longer. Sometimes it is also very difficult to unsubscribe from sites if I'm no longer interested.

X = Xylocarp Cupcakes, xylocarp is a fruit similar to coconut. Thanks to google!

I love how you did some puzzle pieces separate. It really looks as if someone is busy putting the last pieces in place.

Those cookies are a joy to see and look yummy too but it is almost a shame to eat them 🍪

S = Strudel

Where I live we have a small station with 2 platforms and of course there is a pedestrian crossing which everybody can use to cross the tracks. This year there are big containers with nice greenery and flowers in the square and as I have to use that crossing almost daily I enjoyed the flowers. The planting in the containers is changed as soon as it begins to wilt or dies down. Now there are Canna's in them with an underplanting of Pelargoniums. It was impossible to get a good photo without people in it and most people aren't happy when they think you are taking photos of them unasked. I didn't want those people in my photos anyway so no photo of the containers but a detail of the Canna in them.

J = Jellybeans

Fresh ones to me are fruit and dried ones I take as a snack

I always use the download links and sometimes that goes totally fine and sometimes I encounter the above mentioned problems. I have no clue why that happens; it is annoying but like Ann said that background can be removed. If I want to have that particular png I will do so otherwise I'll search for something else instead.

F = Figs, dried ones

Thanks and those stairs reminded me of that game too. I even considered placing more of them in that manner, but in the end decided against it because it became way to much. I think as it is so easy to make a striped paper and use it as a ribbon I will probably make more of those with the colors of the layout I'm working on. A bow or knot will also look nice.

I had a lot of pictures from our recent stairs renovation and wanted to do something with them. I tried different templates and in the end decided on cass-Hanging Photos 2 template because it had the number of photos that I wanted. The background is made from 2 "wood" papers from 2 different kits by Jessica Dunn and blended together just as the journal card. The stairs and the carpenter sticker I found on kisspng; the glue bottle is from a DIY-kit by Chantahlia Design. I like the Lab 14-09 tutorials and made a tight diagonal with the € sign instead of the $ sign, not all fonts have that €! I think that are probably older fonts and the euro currency is only since 1999 in existence. Our new stairs didn't came cheap and therefore I wanted that € for this layout. But in the end it was way to overpowering and I made a flairbutton out of it. Last I made a striped ribbon, also Lab 14-09 with a very faint blinds texture and used it for a frame. It has become a whole list.....

Sue I missed you here, but knew you would be outside probably riding. But these couple of photos are lovely and the grasshopper is fantastic, I can see all the details!

I love heights, but l[ving in the Netherlands which is flat there wasn't much of an opportunity to do anything that adventurous. But whenever visiting in Switzerland I loved to take the cable cars or chairlifts that are crossing a deep valley below. I have never come across the chance to do ziplining, but I think I will love it. A helicopter ride and hot air balloon are the most adventurous I did. Some steep mountain trails in my younger years as well and that is it!

That is my experience too Ann

Very nice way to use the tutorial Tight Diagonal and so different from the one that was in the tut. Love your photo of the hawk taking a bath to cool off!

Y = Yogurt with whatever takes your fancy
