Annie is one of my favorite template designers. I've gotten some beautiful ones on the ALFLT Blog Train.

Day 7 I was determined to finish this workshop and I did! (Pats herself on the back.) I mostly used things from a kit by Billie Irene from Digital Scrapbook. Cassel's twisted strings picture tube came in very handy. I made the embellishment on the top left by adding an inner bevel and some texture to a character from a decorative font. The text font is Miliki. Great workshop, everybody. ❤️

I used to do that so I could better see the dingbats, but I didn't save them. Character Map is usually too small for me to see. I now have a few free font viewers that make it much easier for me.

There's also enochlophobia which is the fear of crowds and cleithrophobia, the fear of being trapped. So many phobias that I don't fully understand. Maybe I have a little bit of everything. LOL

Day 6 (one more day to go!) I don't remember any specific childhood fears so I went with an adult one. It might have just been the mood I was in, but I wasn't inspired by this topic. I didn't want to skip this day so here it is. The background paper was originally in bright colors so I used Image: Greyscale. Then I used Adjust: Hue and Saturation: Colorize until I got a color scheme I liked and went on from there...plaids and polka dots. I went on a Google search for pics to use. The title font is, appropriately, Claustrophobia from CF and the story font is Adventure from Pixel Sagas.

Thanks, Julie. I don't particularly like green, but since the subject was brussel sprouts, I thought it was appropriate.

The vultures would definitely give me the willies!

Living on an island, we have many shorebirds and seabirds. On the beach, you can see various crabs, sea turtles, and even sea life like dolphins if you go out on the water! Both the north and south shores of Long Island have their own unique features. I've seen a few rabbits near my house which pleasantly surprised me. We have pigeons and squirrels, of course, and I love hearing the songbirds in the early morning hours. For other wildlife, you would have to go to the less-populated areas. Then you'll see deer, foxes, opossums, and many other critters. Below is the squirrel that likes to hang out on top of my a/c. Maybe he's hiding nuts in there? (That's the best pic I could get shooting through the window with its reflections and through the screen.)

Day 5 ~ I'm getting there. In my story, I wasn't trying to be a smart-ass. I just really couldn't deal with the taste when I was that young. I love brussel sprouts now along with many other foods I didn't like as a kid, e.g. spinach, @Ann Seeber. LOL I don't often use alphas so I found a wonderful font called Green Delight Leaf on Fontspace that fit my title perfectly. I added texture and an inner bevel to it. The story font is Candy Berry Solid which I got a few years ago in a CF bundle. The various papers are from blog trains.

I don't know if I forgot or if I never knew about moving a selection with a right click. Thanks for the reminder.

I absolutely adore this page, Julie. And I'm also straining my grey matter coming up with anecdotes for the StoryTime workshop.

Day 4 I found the pics on Google and changed them to B&W to give them a nostalgic look. I added some texture to the pink papers just to add a little interest. The title font is Travel Soulmates and the story font is Lavanderia.

I haven't heard anything yet. Did she send them by FB message?

I missed that post (stupid FB). I love her designs and have used them quite a bit. I just posted asking if there are any letters left over. 🙂

You should try a stuffed french toast casserole the next time you have a group brunch! It's always the star.
