8 of my pages exhibit my photos. January photo taken by my friend, Bethany. February is my photo and one of my favorites. Font for months is Chocolate Sprinkles. It didn't have a lot of glyphs but I used what I could.

Hello, Everyone! Amazing work here. Carole must be very proud. I have been pretty quiet...my caretaking duties are increasing. I have completed my calendar and hope to have time tomorrow to resize and post. Have a great evening!

I don't think they are in business any more. We lost our last one a couple of years ago. Wonderful roast beef sandwiches!

This one has been sitting for a couple of months.

Beautifully assembled Bonnie.  I was going to do something similar with the strips, but ended up using them  as phrase strips.

Thank you, Sue!

Nicely done Bonnie.  Your color choices are so perfect for the photos, which are GORGEOUS!

Thank you, Susan!

This exercise always challenges me. I would not normally use so many elements. I never like what I create in this challenge but it stretches me and my creative process.

The Dogwood and Maple trees are in my backyard. I thought the Maple was going to have a lot of red this year but not so...mostly yellow.

Carole, could you use your computer's history to find that magazine? Or your internet history?

Laurie, I also thought of the idea to run the circles off the page. I didn't but I like the effect. Well done!
