Love the layout, Julie! I haven't been here for many days, so I am also trying to keep up with the layouts... Everyone has been so busy and has created great pages!

Beautiful layout, Corrie! We also had the same weather: icy roads and streets... Schools were closed, and people were advised on the radio to stay home. We follow the advice. 🙂

Beautiful layout, France!

Susan, I checked both... Outstanding work!

Susan, love the layouts and photos. 🙂

Gerry, this is such a beautiful layout... Felix is so cute!

Michele, I have always admired your choice of illustrations; this layout is lovely. Gimmp Trims 1 - Gimp Trim 2 Picture Tubes really adds a touch of elegance to the page.

Beautiful layout, Corrie... Love everything about it!... The top paper is so cute; is this the Linoleum Technique? ... I didn't resist and downloaded the font from Dafont. 🙃

Mary, I like very much your layout. It looks even better with the change suggested by Ann Seeber.

Lovely and fun layout, Bonnie.

Michele, this is sooo cute! I agree with Susan; I don't relate blue to sadness in winter...This gnome is having lots of fun making angels in the snow. 🙂 Let's say the 'Fabulous Divas' were on a well-deserved winter break. 😄

Julie, the weather might not be the best, but the layout is beautiful.

Lovely minikit, Anja! You are very generous.

Agree! Great work, Mary!

Only today, after seeing the layout here again, did I notice something that probably had Carole cringe: The shadows I added to the Post-It note, etc. 😬 The shadows that came with the template are opposite the usual left side. I’ll correct it. 😄

Here is a layout I started in 2021 for the Color Challenge, and although I posted it as finished back then, I left it in the unfinished folder for later tweaks. The color that was supposed to be part of the layout was already in the photos, so I changed the background paper to a solid gray color and added an overlay. I started with Lynn Grieveson's (The Lilypad) Template - #lgrieveson_messy_captured_4. I created the Wordart for the first version, and for this reviewed version, I added some elements following Carole's tutorials: Post-It Note, Straight Pin, Pinned Paper The lifted photo effect was created using cass-LiftedPhoto Script.

Ann, Bonnie, Michele, and Corrie, those are beautiful layouts. I love everything about them. Donna, those mask shapes are very creative... they'll look interesting and unique in a layout. I downloaded the 2023 Year in Review after seeing it here! I am so behind that I have only recently continued working on my 2021 Year in Review!

The calendar looks so professional. Great work, Monique!

I guess I will start with 8x10, following her tips on how to do it, sometimes adapting a template, and see how I feel about it. But not anytime soon. 🙂 First, I have lots of unfinished layouts from workshops, etc.

This is a special gift to your son-in-law, and it will be something Xavier will love to see when he gets older to understand more. Beautiful work! The photos are great with the techniques you used, but for me, the journaling is what stands out... So, so creative! I like the size you used (8x8), and I have been thinking of starting to scrap in a different size than 12x12 so it will be easier to have it printed. In one newsletter, Lynn Grieveson, a designer from The Lilypad, mentioned she used to print 10x10 at Persnickety and then at Shutterfly, but the former discontinued the size, and the latter had to start charging too much for international deliveries... She lives in New Zealand. Now, she prints 8x10 (i.e., portrait orientation), which is close to letter size A4, but she still sells her designs in 12x12 format. Since then, I have been thinking of changing it, too; I haven't yet decided which size.

Thank you, Janette. 🙂 I am hopeful I'll finish it this year 🤞... It takes more time to find the right photo than creating the page. I'll have it printed in a print shop, as always, and it will look like the photo below so my mother-in-law can hang it on the wall as she prefers.

Me neither... I finished the month of May... Still, a lot to do.

I mentioned it before, Sue... You are also the master of Word Art... Beautiful!

Great calendar, Ann... I am sure your granddaughter will love it...Even more, knowing that Grandma did it,

Wow, Carole, those pages are beautiful! I love the "out of bounds" technique, which made the project unique. The journaling is so creative! I love it.
