Thanks for sharing. It just might have been the artist's inspiration.

Chamber Orchestra of New York was a very boring theme until I found this amazing oil painting by artist Daria Sadkova. I removed the black background and used it on several layers with varying opacities and adjustments. Cass's Word Frame script gave it just the right touch without drawing attention away from the subject. The font is Cellos Script free from DaFont.

W = White Chocolate anything!

I made several iterations of this silly theme. I liked the idea of the bright rainbow hairstyles and wanted to keep the rest of the l/o simple. I tried adding a rainbow border to each of them and adding shadows, but I wasn't happy with that. I finally decided to do a frame over all of them and used a cutout effect under each "hole." The biggest issue I had (I really annoy myself sometimes) was picking the gradient for the frame. I lost count of how many different gradients and blend modes I tried. I left them overnight and when I opened them today, I was instantly attracted to this one. Sometimes putting the project away and looking at it later helps if you have the time. The font is Will&Grace free from DaFont. Speaking of having a personal style, I think the purpose of the page plays a big part in it. What I did here is very different than say a birthday card I would make.

T = Tortoni ~ an Italian ice cream or custard with cherries, almonds, and Ameretti (almond flavored) cookies. I lived in a predominantly Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn when I was little so this dessert is very nostalgic for me.

I have a curious mind and want to keep learning...anything...until the end.

Thanks, ladies! ❤️ I need to pay more attention. I've really been more scatter-brained than usual.

I only got two jpg's and a pdf with her tou.

I've also lost my mental abilities. How did you guys do it with a jpg template?

Orange sherbert with vanilla ice cream! My favorite as a kid, Creamsicle from Good Humor.

Not only a gorgeous page, but very poetic words. ❤️

As I've mentioned (ad nauseam, I'm sure) the game I do these pics for has been repeating themes from a long time ago so I've just been tweaking the originals. Today I took the time to create a new one. The upside-down leprechaun stuck in his pot of gold is a freebie from DitzBlitz. I used several papers for the BG at different opacities including a couple from Janet Kemp's the-lucky-one bundle (PS/DS). The posers are my avatar from the game and the font is Celtic Knots, free from Fontspace.

I = Italian ices

I LOVE flan.

Just saying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time#:~:text=DST was first implemented in the US with the Standard,again during World War II.

Yeah, one of the dangers of having more than one tab open on the Campus.🙃

We still follow Daylight Saving Time here in NY. I wish the world would just stop or, at least, do it on the same day. Now that I'm retired, it doesn't affect me, but I always hated it. I remember when my daughter was little, she couldn't understand why she had to go to bed when it was still light out. 🙃

Z = Zeppole

One of my very favorite desserts!

I = Irish Coffee!
