  1. It makes my heart ache to think of this young guy so heartbroken over losing his "best bud". It takes some time to absorb the loss. Tears are good at such a time.
  2. But when you guys slow down (perhaps) in retirement, wouldn't a wee dog be good company and a stimulus for walks?
  3. That's funny! I was the same.
  4. These pictures, from my family album, have such a spring-like feel to them. I coloured in some of the blossoms on the tree and used mostly Anna Aspnes elements and materials. This time I used PSE, but couldn't figure out how to lift the corners of the photo. (Also, I wasn't able to upload it to here - resized - without using PSP. Don't know what that was all about???) I just love how elegantly the two women (my mother and my aunt) are dressed for the occasion. Not what I'd be wearing I don't think!
  5. I think now I want to do this for all my cats and dogs over the years! But that's quite a few!!!! Brandy is such a pretty girl.
  6. This is my bit of gold (the text) to send wishes to all good Irishwomen/men. For today we can ALL be Irish. And it's my birthday, so I get to do this!!!! Cheers and to your health! ☘️
  7. I get emails from her shop so I see the $1.99 specials when they appear, and that's often.
  8. It's' called CuratedTeamFavsPhotogKit. She has quite a few camera/photography related products and regular sales.
  9. Was this someone's home originally?
  10. We recently had a bit of discourse about old photos and the frequent use of cameras. This photo that I have in my files comes from the early 1900s. It is not of anyone in my family, but the family of a friend. They are using Brownie box cameras, but I don't know which edition they are. I just love the pic! Taken in my hometown. Almost all elements come from Katie Pertiet photography kit which was on sale for $1.99 US.
  11. You are lucky, Ann!
  12. Don't know what kinda cats you've had, but mine sure were! 😆
  13. Okay folks, I was feeling silly and playful when I thought of what I would use for the Letter F. Once this thought got into my head, I couldn't think of another possibility. If you live with animals, you know this to be true!
  14. I got chills just reading this. Lovely.
  15. I keep buying those little orchids at the supermarket as well. Sometimes they thrive, sometimes I kill them - not on purpose! You're doing great with this one.
  16. The various shapes move the eye around the whole layout. Wonderful!
  17. I had a look at the blog post too, and gave it a try. I didn't follow all the directions precisely, but I think it came out OK. This layout used a photo of the actual school which was quite impressive for a tiny village near my hometown. The smaller rural schools had SS (School Section) designations with a number and then the Township name. This was different to do and fun! (The colours faded a bit when I resized the layout.)
  18. You got that right, Sharla. It is amazing to have such a wide variety of images and sources for them. I need to loosen up about AI images. So far, I have not had much interest in them.
  19. Ta-Da! Thanks to the encouragement and ideas of RENE and SUSAN, I got motivated for the Letter E. And it didn't take long to throw it together. I made the fabric piece to hang the dangly earrings on years ago, when I often wore that style. Nowadays, they mostly languish in the spare bedroom, hanging forlornly. I don't dress up that much these days, and I think they look odd with yoga pants and t-shirts! 😁 The acrylic clear frame is from Annie C. Digitals, the pastel pink flower from Digital Scrapbook. The background falling petals come from online somewhere.
  20. I also have quite a collection of earrings that I rarely wear anymore. Thanks for the great idea, Rene.
  21. I love the idea of using EMPTY, but that might be a bit depressing? But I love your layout ideas.
  22. Is that you Anja in the first layout? I just love that one.
  23. Most of my photos of value are old family ones and it would get dull fast if that's all I ever used for layouts! I don't take that many photos b/c I don't go that many places. Even when I do get out, I forget to use the camera/phone. Also, there is no one to whom I can bequeath the pix I take. No one is interested, in family history or my life. Just the way it is.
  24. Lots of great work you've been doing Anja. Hope you get some time to explore the family roots. It's endlessly fascinating!
  25. I cannot think of anything with E!!!! Might have to skip this one, and maybe some others????
