Day 7.  This is one of the few photos that I actually do possess.  Jasper was a real little character and a very intelligent little man.  He was 11 1/2 when he passed and the cause was unknown but it was very quick so I know that his suffering was limited.  I miss my little fella but I have reminders of him pop up all the time ... love is kinda like that.  Thanks for takin a peek my friends.  ;)

Thanks dear Sue, always appreciated my friend. <3

Bonnie, you will never be old my friend ... one day in the distant future you will just drop off the perch ... no old for Bonnie!

Hello Scrapbook Campers.  This layout is by Tomosia and flower elements are from one tube that I have had 4ever, resized and coloured to compliment the theme.  I love teacups and teapots and these photos are cute fishy teapots which were freebies on the web.  The background paper is one of my favourite patterns by a Cassel tut ... scale pattern.  Title font is A Bit Sketchy and the font used for the poem is Scriptys.  Thanks for takin a peek.  ;D

Day 6.  Lots of different fonts used here and I have lost track of them ... sorry!  The words are all the things that a white rose stands for.  Photo courtesy of Unsplash.  Thanks for takin a peek my friends.  ;D

Ah! A Cinque Terre holiday ... a place I have ever wished to visit and even though Vernazza is the most popular choice for tourists my heart goes to Manarola, don't know why. A lovely and colourful page Minka, well done. ;D

Lynda, this is a fantastic page. Black and White is one of my favourite colour combinations and the addition of a little red really makes it tick. Love it my friend and that plaid is something else! ;D

Thanks very much Laurie, very pleased you liked it my friend. I was a bit worried when I started as the photo was particularly dark but eventually I was able to tone it down. ;)

Cristina, this page is so cute my friend. What an adorable photo. Simplicity at it's best Hon.

Barbara I like you pages a lot and I find it quirky and inspirational that you have chosen a dress for the overall theme. Well done Hon for thinking outside the box. :D

Corrie, you have done this iconic flower proud my friend. A very sweet page, well done my friend. :D

Sue, this is a delightful page. What happy little sunflowers. I appreciate how, as a society, we have forged ahead with the use of colours. When I was an early teenager and just beginning to sew my own clothes there were certain colours that were taboo to use together ... blue and green should never be seen! I never really understood that because Mother Earth in her green finery meets Father Sky in his glorious blue. Anyway my friend, your page certainly gives lie to that old adage. ;D

P.S. Thanks very much for your tip about the use of brushes for masks. I had not thought to reduce opacity and hardness etcetera. Much appreciated my friend. <3

Thanks dear Cristina, always appreciated. Sometimes, it just seems impossible to find the right tool and then ... voila, it falls into your lap! You gave me a giggle my friend, thank you. :)

LOL! Shirl, everyone has to get old sometime and there are a few of us on the Campus that are just a little ahead of the others! Johann was a beautiful and bonnie baby ... I'll bet she even had rosy cheeks ... it was such a thing back then. I can remember mum taking us off to church and just before we went in she would spin me around and pinch my cheeks! Even though I was a little twerp I had to be a rosy cheeked one ... gosh those memories are priceless!

Acapulco looks very inviting Ann and your background paper looks like pebbles under water ... very suited to the theme, well done my friend. :)

Val, you did a good job on the out-of-bounds technique and I just love the little quote ... Boy: noun - a noise with dirt on it. Sure gave me a giggle. And, terrific painted wood frame, well done Hon. :)

Ann, this is a lovely page. The background paper is truly lovely and tones in wonderfully with your photo. I appreciate your little stories within your pages ... I am gaining a considerable amount of geo knowledge. Thank you and well done my friend. :D

Bonnie, I just love your enthusiasm for the game and you are going to have a truckload of happy memories to peruse with your pages ... you will never be bored in your old age. :D

Hello Scrapbook Campers. Well there are just too many beautiful pages and participants for me to comment individually so I will say congrats to all. Juniors and Rookies you will soon be in the rank of enthusiasts I feel sure ... progress under Carole's tutelage is forging ahead, well done. ;D

Day 5 is completed.  This is not my favourite way to mask and I think it shows in the end result.  Anyway, I did do it the way Carole taught ... after playing around with a thousand different brush tips (slight exaggeration) and then stamping frantically around the image, lol.  Thanks for takin a peek my friends.  ;D

Ha, ha, ha, ROTFL! Love your sense of humour Bonnie ... good page my friend, put a smile on my dial. <3

LOL! No matter Lynda, you are still a good looking couple! ;D

Hi Shirley, a sweet page this one and a lovely background paper to tone in. I love how you have included the black and white photos ... kinda like the old and the new. ;) And, thanks for the welcome back my friend, mojo has returned ... for now! :(

For your PSP issue it should be under View, scroll down to Toolbars and make sure that Standard is ticked. If this doesn't work then it is definitely a Cassel fix-it job ... ;D

You know what I have found Shirl ... older fingers do strange things, gads but it can be annoying. I do have the shakes a little and my touch tone is sure not what it used to be but I will be working away ... concentrating deeply as you do ... and then all of a sudden I will look up and, ta-da, something has disappeared or appeared. Does this happen to you or am I alone with this peculiar affliction which I call ... transition to dementia!? LOL!

Stay well my friend ... New Zealand has become a symbol of hope for the rest of the world to aspire to! <3

Thanks Sue, always appreciated my friend. Wow, you have had Meg for 19yrs! What a wonderful relationship you must have with both Meg and Nell. They both look so fit and healthy and that is a sure sign that love is behind their care. :)

Thanks Carole, I can see that now. It just goes to prove there is always room for improvement ... much appreciated. ;)
