Your welcome MoniqueN
Thank you Susan Ewart, my mother will be 90 next year and up until a few years ago she was still very active, but due to a few falls, the doctor told her to slow down and take it easy, especially in the hot summers we were having. Since the pandemic we were all in lockdowns, and she was in our bubble so we were her main carers, for the past few years, and my sisters were not able to visit her, because of the lockdown rules, until June/July this this year. She still loves her garden and spends most days out in her garden tending her plants, or doing her other crafting hobbies.

Sorry Carole I don't know what this challenge was?

This photo was my journey to the Isle of Wight a great week's holiday with my family touring the island and visiting all the places of interest.

I think this was also from the Travel Tale Challenge. It was also, our holiday in Jersey with mum. This was one of the amazing beaches. And also the zoo we visited.

This was the Travel Tale Challenge, of a holiday in Gloucester.

This is another one from this challenge Travel Tale Challenge 15th June 2020
This was a day out with my mother, hubby, daughter and her boyfriend to Leeds Castle. Hubby and I had gone before and as there is so much to see we wanted to go again, this time with family. We had a great day going around the castle, learning about the history of the castle, place the amazing views of the castle and moat, whilst we sat having lunch. It also has a maze, botanic gardens, lake and an aviary of Owls, and falconry displays. Plus a train that runs around the grounds from the entrance to the castle for those families and disabled visitors. A great day out.

This image was also part of the same challenge Travel Tale Challenge 15th June 2020
This one was a holiday with just my mother, and me. We went to Jersey for a week and had a great time exploring the island. We both loved every minute of it as you can see my mother in the "spaceship" in the meercat area! lol And one of her playing the piano! Though on one day she got badly stung on her legs, and we had to find a chemist to get something to ease the sting, but that did not stop us having fun looking at all the historic places of interest around the island and the gorgeous beaches! A great holiday to remember.

Congrats on 10 years of the Campus.
I have not done as many challenges as you all, just a couple. as I am often busy, but when I have the time I love doing challenges. One that I had done was called; Travel Tale Challenge 15th June 2020
I loved doing this challenge as I was able to use photos from my collections that usually just reside unseen on my hard drive and not printed and to turn them into a design that enhances the memory of my holiday with family and friends is brilliant.
This one was a day out on the river, from and to Ipswich UK with family and friends. We had known these friends all our lives from our childhood, as we lived a few doors away until we moved to a new town, and months later they also moved near to us! They are all grown and married now with families of their own, and we still stay in touch, including going to their family weddings and funerals etc. On this trip on of the brothers brought his best friend along for the trip......much to the surprise of my hubby......he was one of his best mates in primary school!!! The first time they had met since school!!

All except 9 & 10 worked for me.
You can add the website to your white list. I tried to add the instructions for that here, but it does not allow me to do so.
(message me on Facebook for instructions).

Day 5 A day sailing in Ipswich on the harbour with a family we grew up with as kids.
We got a call out of the blue to join our friends on a day out. We all met up at our friends house and were invited on a boat trip as they had recently purchased a boat. It was a great sunny day, and I love boating. I did not expect to be asked to steer the boat out of the harbour from the mooring!! I have never done that before and was a bit worried about crashing their new boat! My family, including my sisters, mum and my hubby were all on the boat with our friends.....and there was one unexpected twist! One of our close friends also brought a friend with him and that person used to go to school with my hubby!! He used to sit next to him in class and had not seen him since school!
We had a great day on the boat, my sisters and I took turns in steering the boat. One of my sisters was very nervous at taking the helm so had a bit of help!
I had a problem doing the Set of stamps when using the eraser tool it was not creating even holes in the stamps, I tried several times and it was just not working....so I asked Carole,. she requested a print screen with a black layer underneath......and as soon as I added the colour all the holes were ok!!! For some unknown reason the "grey" colour of the holes were miss-shapped and not correct....(added print screen below (image 3)) I was pulling my hair out trying all the settings to fix it but nothing worked!!

Great job Cindy. Beautiful postcards and stamps, love them all

Great job everyone, and Gerry love your stamps, sorry for you loss <hugs>
Thank you Carole, I have a large selection of photos from trips I have been to over the years, and prior to taking photos, I used to collect postcards from all the places I visited, from age 13, as I did not have a camera back then. They also bring back memories of places I visited. I am a day or two behind on the challenges.
This one took a little time to do, selecting all the best photos to fit. I tried the leather tag, and for some reason the cutout was not working for me, I will try it again another time.
Day 4;
We visited Leeds Castle UK, which is not in Leeds, it's in Kent!
We went in 2018 with my mum (she was 86 and there is a lot of walking to get to the castle, so we used the train), and then in 2019 with my daughter and her boyfriend. On the 2nd occasion we found the Bird Sanctuary, Flower Gardens, and a large lake, (there is also a Maze and children's playground, but no spaceships!).
In 2018 we explored all the richly decorated rooms, in the castle and had a meal in a mobile cafe on site. In 2019, we explored the grounds as well as inside of the castle. We found a restaurant in the grounds with a great view over the Castle and the moat as seen in the Panoramic photo on the right page. They also had a little gift shop on the way out, with some beautify trinkets, ornaments, books etc. We had bought tickets which would allow us a free visit again this year, but with the Lockdown I don't know if we will be able to go again this year.

Day 3
7 Days in Jersey with my mother.
We flew from London City Airport to Jersey and arrived late evening, we were driven straight to our hotel. We spent the week exploring the island going to different places each day! The beaches were stunning, the people were friendly. We had a great time, and some lovely memories. I love how this template came out a bit like a postcard.
-
Awesome templates everyone.
Day 2
A few years ago I went on a 7 day holiday with my mother, daughter and her boyfriend. We went to a small island off the south coast of England not far from Portsmouth. We travelled from London to Portsmouth by train, then Ferry across the Solent to the Isle of Wight, then another train to the south of the island where were were staying on a camp site for the week. During that time we visited lots of places of interest around the island and the most memorable was a place that Queen Victoria and her family stayed and called home. We looked in and around her grand house, with so many rooms and bedrooms still furnished and decorated as she had left it.

Thank you Minka & Carole for your compliments. :) Love the bear ART, I love Nature, and Animals too. Great job Gerry and I love reading the back stories to these trips. I have photos of other trips I have done over the years which will be digging out over the week.

awesome Minka

For this challenge I have created a memory of a holiday I spent with my mother 30 years ago. We went on a coach trip from London and across the channel to Austria, for 14 days. We travelled through Belgium, Holland, Germany, Black Forest, Austria, down the Danube, to Ulm, and France, We visited a lot of interesting places on long the way, including Hellbrunn - Schloss, Wasserspiele und Gartenanlage, where the garden had many water displays, and the owner of the castle used to love playing tricks on his guests with water shooting up from their seats in the garden. In Austria, we went to a Straus Concert played by the Straus Orchestra. Great memories I still carry with me.

Thank you Annie, :) and I hope you find your mojo too.
