Thank you, Ann!

iFLY was great fun. I am looking forward to going again. Inspiration Template A...Carole gave all 26 to us for Christmas. It was my turn to fly.

The 4 of us went to iFLY...what a fun day...full of memories. Template from Kim's Creative World, ALFLT, August, 2022. Does Judy look like she is having fun?

Thank you, Susan. I love my "deer people". I often stop work to watch them.

Thank you, Mary...it was a part of the template.

My friend, Michelle, at a professional pickleball tournament. Center court is behind her in the larger photo. She is posing with pro player, Lucy Kovalova, in the smaller photo. Template 94 by Lady 22, Bourico Casper. Word art from Creative Fabrica.

I extracted the buck head at the top. I'm pretty pleased with it. I think it is my best extraction to date. Interestingly, I had been thinking I would like to do a layout with deer heads and this template appeared. Perfect!

X = Xenodochy a warm and cordial welcoming of guests and strangers Thank you, Google!

Thank you, Mary! It was a fun layout to create!

T = toast

On the way home from The Ole Country Store we stopped at Messick's Farm Market. "Virginia is for lovers" is Virginia's slogan so you find these Love signs in lots of places. Messicks decorates theirs for the season. Of course, the quote at the top of the layout is a bit outdated but I like it and the sleep part fits me perfectly. I extracted the tree and train from the photo.

If 2023 is as amazing as these creations, it will be a very good year!

R = resolutions

Here's my sketch challenge... My friend, Judy, loves BLT sandwiches...her favorite. The Ole Country Store does not always serve BLTs so this was a special day for Judy.

O = out with the old

K = Kisses...at Midnight

Wow! Beautiful work, Everyone!

I = inspire

F = fireworks

D = drinks...hopefully, not too many...

Turkey Tail...perfect name! Great layout, Ann!

The "drag files" dialogue has not been there for me until now. I used "choose files". This is the only NYE layout I have done. My NYE is usually spent at home and I am in bed early.

"insert existing attachment" takes me to the gallery. I see no way to upload from my computer.
