Monique, they look great where they are.

Wow! those are so beautiful.

Quick Page Non-Scrap Lesson 6 No words, just photos circa 2010. It was hard to find enough white photos. I will be on a mission to start taking more white flower photos. This is a neat way to showcase photos. I think I'll be putting that script on the list. Now onto the actual Quick Page for lesson 6.

Quick Page Extra Lesson 6 I'm starting Lesson 6 with the extra. I love the layout of this quick page (I mean the QP as itself). For such a small area for the photos you eye is really drawn to that spot. I dont deny it, this is a challenge for my shooting style where it's hard to get photos that fit into a square. It's a good challenge for me. I dont have a great lens for moons, they are tiny in my images so i have plenty of space for getting that square layout. I took some creative liberties with the backgrounds going from the darkest blue of the full moon to the lightest blue in the less than full moon the lightest one is. Three of the moons were actually shot in the day...I call them Day Moons. The full moon was shot at night. I had to extract it and put it on another moons background (with permission of the "other" moon of course). i like using the selection to put the quotes in. I changed the colors using the Hue Map, it took several times going back to it. Photos: mine Fonts: Gill Sans Ultra Bold and Gill Sans Ultra Bold Condensed (windows)

All I could think of when I was slicing them was them screaming, "noooooooo". Food shouldnt freak you out. I felt kinda bad eating them...but they were so tasty.

Mine 1st attempt failed too...I was editing my photo's and was happy with thd 4 I chose (for the Extra layout) when *poof* out went the power. I will try again. I love the message in your layout. although I very squeamish about insects I do appreciate them and remember to give them a water station out in the yard so they dont drown in the bird baths.

This is so nicely done. They are very interesting boats too.

Love this layout. I never get tired of watching birds bath. they do it with such gusto, it just makes you happy.

Thank you Mary. It's sad to hear you lost your husband well before his time. I would feel the same and I'm at that point in life (58) that thoughts of losing my husband is terrifying. You have a positive outlook on it, i like how you worded it and it's a nice to feel comforted by those words.

Quick Page Non- Scrap Lesson 5 I wish I'd thought of Mary's idea. Love the change of color you used, Mary. I couldnt think of what do for this and was thinking I'll just pass on it. But once I started looking at pictures, the ideas start to come together. I reduced the Clarity to make it a bit softer and dreamy. I think I should have made it even softer, but I am a chicken. it's a challenge for me to make things soft instead of crisp. It's a good lesson for me. I forgot to credit the quote on the card I just realized. It's a comma after the word "found" but it looks like a period so it seems like bad grammar. I think I will take it out.

Quick Page Extra Lesson 5 having hamburgers a couple weeks ago I was slicing pickles and well, there you have it, very judgy pickles. How rude. ? Fonts: The Chocolate (Creative Fabrica) and Arial (Windows)

Quick Page Lesson 5 I used the page as is. Added text. Saya is an energetic playful and snuggly girl. But she always looks cranky in pictures. I had put the blinds down to see the computer screen and she kept trying to go behind them so I pulle out over the ledge and she has been using it as her sunning/sleeping spot. Maybe in the winter I'll be able to pull the blinds up again. Font: The Wild Chaos Stamped (Creative Fabrica) Photos: mine, taken a week ago.

STUNNING!

Gerry, sorry to hear about your loss. Love that quote.

Excellent Idea!

It looks like a sugar cookie, one of my favorites. Good job.

What a cool experience. And rather freaky too.

The rain drops are like mother natures diamonds. I love them too and find them fascinating to look at.

QP Extra 4 This time after choosing too many photos because I couldnt decide on something that reflectected a love theme. I found My brothers dog Bailey. This dog is little, but she's big on the inside. She will play fetch for as long the humans can stand it. We looked after her one weekend and had lots of play time. I didnt do anything to the photo's just plunked them in and erased the necessary parts and added a title...it truly can be quick. Font: Klasted (Creative Fabrica).

Holy wow, are you actually inside the arch?

Oh, those colors! they are perfect for this layout. Love the flowers. I am trying to grow flowers to photograph this year. I cant grow anything usually (except, Parsley, thyme and rosemary).

QP-Non Scrap-4 I copied others and went with a green theme with old photos I havent seen for more than 10 yrs! I used Beauty Nature font again. (Creative Fabrica). I like this format. it's a challenge to get the the photo right for the top rectangle. In playing around I used a very small portion of the plant and learned I dont always need to have most of it showing. I'm happy with the results and the photo's didnt look too bad for being low res.
