DEC. P52-DEC. 15-WEEK 49 - THAT FROSTY TIME OF YEAR 3

Corrie, that is quite beautiful and the photo is very striking!

We are having a family party today to celebrate the engagement of my grandson, Brad and his sweetheart, Livia. I made a little layout for them. I feel I need some instruction in modifying masks. This one from Cassel, is too much on the right side but whatever I did to it made it worse, so I left it alone.

Wow, that is awesome, Jacques! If I was Carole, I'd hire you! 😄

That's the mission of any accredited zoo but I focus on Nashville since my granddaughter was welcomed into their program. I'm learning a lot! They are beauties, I agree!

I don 't know, Corrie. The photo was on the Hudson Valley Gallery

WEEK 48 FOR DEC 8 - FROSTY 2

Having started in NJ and moved to NY I've experienced many heavy snowfalls. One memorable one was a few years ago around Halloween. We were attending a birthday party, and it snowed while we were inside. At that time of year (October) the leaves were still on the trees, so the weight of the snow ended up breaking branches and pulling down wires. Out-of- season snowstorms can be harder to handle.

Wow, Dee, that's spectacular! Great job!!

A = Advent. The month-long lead up to Christmas with surprises every day on a special calendar.

Here is Week 47 - Dated Dec. 1 - That Frosty Time of Year. The font is Showcard Gothic with a stroke.

Here a rather unique celebration we have mornings in December. This layout is from 2021.

Happy December from the Nashville Zoo. It's Sumatran Tiger Time! The new, red logo (upper left) is for Critically Endangered species. Nashville is very active with a breeding program. My granddaughter, Jackie Thorpe, is a zookeeper there.

Me, too!! 😻

I have revamped my Project #7 - here's Finn, again!

We followed the Christian holidays of Easter which fell in March or April and I'm still not sure how it is calculated. As for Christmas, our family always kept the tree up until January 6th as that was my mom's birthday which coincided with Three Kings Day, but my husband and I also encountered the Mexican celebration of Three Kings Day when we started to vacation in Acapulco. Invariably, we would arrive just before the big day and encounter this huge celebration with lots of children running around our tourist hotel. 🎄

You'll make it as long as you don't run out of gorgeous teacups.

Cristina, I had the same problem. It took me forever to work something out. Looking forward to your creation. Safe trip!

Speaking of cemeteries, I have to share this...

Just a beautiful cat languishing in a shelter, waiting for his "fambly" to find him. Meet FINN...

Almost forgot to post my Week 46 - I finished it last week but got caught up in the Text Workshop and am still struggling with #7. Here's Deb's Mendo Zendo, her Airbnb/Gallery/art studio in CA. Deb says this building is a "sort-of-greenhouse." 😁

2023 is notorious for those little tricks. I just shrug, work around it and go on...

Since I'm always in 2023 that is a distinct possibility! For some reason, my version is less "glitchy" than others have reported.

I have had good results from the "Haze Removal" tool on the Adjust menu, also.

@Jacques - yes, that is what I did. My rope was originally gold and too intense for my Army football layout.
