I love song challenges. My fantasy vacation to the Florida Keys to one of Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville Resorts (he has some all over the world). His iconic "Margaritaville" song always makes me stop and sing along. I got a lot from NicePng, the layout is the template from Lab 13-06. The background is from my stash of beach kits.

I uploaded it to Facebook. Yes, the site Pngtree has free art.

Suzy, if you'd be interested, I found this .png on Pngtree and it includes the fruit, greenery and flowers. It's really large, about 3600 wide, so I made a reduction to show you here. If you want the large version, I'll put in up in our Scrapbooking with PaintShop Pro Facebook files. I had to make a .jpg to post here but the original is a .png with transparency.

Hmmm, interesting. The tomato slice looks realistic and juicy. The moth, however, seems creepy whereas the tomato worm is appropriate. Love your subway poster! Can't make out that wavy line of text across the top. I agree with Susan about a packet of seeds and/or pruning shears. You certainly do make interesting kits! Very different from the usual. I feel that way about your bicycle kit, also. Good job!

Welcome back, Corrie ... I missed you! So looking forward to seeing the results of your vacation. San Francisco is awesome - love that city. I've been there several times enroute upstate to Mendocino to see my daughter, Debbie, and family. Their place is about 3.5 hours north on the Pacific Highway.

Yes, that was the sun at Noon. I walked out of the house and saw a red light glowing on the first car in line and I'm wondering where's the red light coming from but when I got out from under the porch and looked up, I saw that weird sun. Looks like we're on Mars with strange moons floating around! ? There goes my sci-fi imagination again! ? And, yes, I was at the supermarket and a lot of people were wearing masks, though I don't think indoors is necessary with the smoke. I came home and got out my N95 and felt lucky to have them! Used them to lug in the groceries, anyway. ?

I'd love to visit up there one day. Maybe Susan and I could meet with you. What a treat!! I just got home and in my travels I snapped a shot of our sun at Noon. Scary!

I'm in New York State, about 500 miles from Nova Scotia. The smoke has been filtering down through Maine, then Vermont and now here. It's said the air pollution in NY City is the worst it's ever been. The sun was effectively grayed out yesterday but better today. Running my air purifier constantly as I have COPD/Asthma. This photo from Kathleen Eastwood from my Hudson Valley in Pictures group illustrates how it looks here at sunrise lately.

Carole, we are starting to see the smoke from the Eastern Canada wildfires. Are they near you? ?

I recently redecorated my betta's aquarium and now I'm ready for a gnome! ?

Thanks, Carole. Actually, Magic's dad is overly tall (6 feet/5 inches) and I wanted to show that effect.

Thanks, Susan, yes that is me top right (bald baby ?) the year I was born.

I'm rather pleased with how this turned out considering I had no template. I created the mask and ran the raster-to-mask script. The background photo has an overlay layer effect. The font is Britannic Bold. Here's MAGIC!

Trying out the Shape Cutter. Here are a couple of small images. The second one is of Magic as an infant with a cutout of Dad and current Magic. I think I like the silhouettes the best.

I did a two matching pages to celebrate Magic's 3rd birthday. They had a fun pinata party. They sent 10 photos so it worked with Carole's new Hanging Photos 2 template. I totally used a birthday mini-kit from Melissa Lerin. I'll try to post a preview with the two layouts.

Sue, I think the term Monogram is deceptive as I have several sets in my Alpha/Digits folder that the designer designated as Monograms. I guess it may be a cultural thing. Whatever country/language is involved. I agree that my mind sees them as fancy, with flourishes, but not everyone uses the same naming procedure.

I've seen those "monograms" and I'd actually call them Alphas. I used some back with our alphabet series. They appear in my files under Polka Dot Chicks Designs and have a Gingerbread Christmas kit and one other. Here's one of the letters used. It has a subtle polka dot design. BY TAMMY AND SHELBY

Got it! Came right into my Dropbox Capture folder which I think was created because I downloaded their new app - Dropbox Capture. It basically does screenshots but it seems to also record videos. ? Your kit is so cute! I love the bicycles...

Suzy: Dropbox gave me the option to request the file from you. Just go to this link.

Yay! There you are!! Nice to "see" you, Susan! ?

Leftover Scraplift from May - Six of my grandchildren (the ones who have significant others). The only one missing is Tyler-John who is unattached at this time. The title font is Baby Olivia, the background is color fill treated to weave texture, the curved paper is treated to a pattern using the sculpture texture, the flowers behind the photos are a ribbon called Butterfly Garden-clipart 15. Brad, on the top left, is new to my digital layouts. He and Alycia, top right, are twins.
