B = back country

She has/had the letter templates on sale 55% off...for all 26 letters...55% off...still too much. I love her creations but seldom buy.

I agree Cristina...good memories. Sometimes I just scroll thru my layouts. It always brings a smile as I remember each event. Thank you.

Today she said she was going to do numbers also and will be looking for help then.

No. It was just a post on FB...in her group. I asked if she needed any more and she did not respond.

I used parts of Jessica Dunn's journal cards...2017 destination Florida beach kit. The sea gulls are from Creative Fabrica.

H = hammerhead shark

I wish I had asked for more letters...but I don't want to be greedy. I really wanted the B but someone had already asked for it. I didn't realize that she would give a letter to more than one person. Of course, she needs multiple examples. I did have fun with them.

Here's my day 5. I didn't enjoy going to the Farmer's Market when I was a kid but I have fond memories of our trips there. I didn't use an alpha. I made a seamless pattern of the butterbean photo and used it as a fill for my text. I gave it an outline to help it show up better. I also added a small drop shadow. Perhaps I should add a bit more shadow... Butterbean and produce photos are from the web.

P layout: Does it surprise you...pickleball? I would like to do another for Poppy and Penny. The smaller words on the P were created by Carole's script, Shadow Text.

Another C layout:

I've been a bit distracted. Yesterday Annie of AnnieCDigital designs asked her FB group to help by creating layouts using a new, unpublished Alpha kit. I requested C and P. Here is one of the C layouts. Font for "Cats" is best paws font. Heart paper by MarisaL, Pets kit. Paw prints on the C by Janet Kempt, toolbox calendar, metal paw print doodle.

F = freshwater, as opposed to salt water

C = catfish
