Short hike...beautiful wildflowers...perfect day.

74 candles would not fit. Pickleball birthday.

Made for a pickleball player.

Pickleball tournament. The fans were really into it!

No pickleball this time but this was made for a pickleball player. Doesn't she have a beautiful family?

Here you go, Minka...Hope you like it. Penny says, "Hi."

Hi, Minka! Sorry to hear about your computer. I do not like to get a new computer and figure out the new stuff. Unfortunately, it is a necessary evil. Glad you found one you like.

 

I love the Penny page! TYSM. She is a neat cat, for sure.

 

I will see what I can come up with for your page. Again, thank you for a neat Penny page!

Beautiful work, everyone! Lynda, you are showing me I need to spend more time with the Lab. Michele, I am in awe...you create something every day. I struggle to have a little time. WTG!

Here is my cat, Penny. First she sits, then shakes hands, then sits up and finishes with a high five...then she gets a treat.

 

Second picture is a friend feeding "Mama Raccoon".

 

Use either...your choice...

Hey, Minka...I'll give it a try. I have to find a photo...tomorrow. Off to bed right now.

Another pickleball page...

Thank you, Lynda.

 

An unplanned day with friends took me back to childhood activities. We had tons of fun doing "nothing". Of course, there was ice cream!...no ice cream pictures...too busy eating.

Oh, my goodness! All of you are rocking the creativity. I see so many unique pages and techniques. I love coming here to see what you are creating. Lynda, love the shoes and masks! Michele, you are always welcome to join us for pickleball and/or ice cream...after Covid, of course.

 

Karon, love all of your elements...I don't use many elements...something I need to do more...I'll follow your example. Love the chicken wire and the perspective page.

 

Betsy, I didn't see the eclipse either. Wish I had. Your pre-eclipse photo and page are great. I love looking at the moon and would visit if I could...at my age, that's not happening.

Donna is my neighbor. Dayana is her daughter. Dayana grew up calling me "Aunt Bonnie". Very special people.

Just one photo and text. Each letter of their message cut and pasted with a wider border to make it stand out more.

Great page, Corrie! I have a lot of photos from walks during the shutdown...maybe, I'll steal your idea...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I love the shoes too!

Yes, I am playing pickleball...in a very small group...all of whom are being extremely careful. Two of our players are at very high risk and cannot be around large groups. I keep forgetting that my age makes me high risk also...which means all our members but one is high risk. Sandy is one of our players who is very high risk. On June 30 she was not playing so when we saw her approaching the court, we thought she was coming to play. She didn't have her paddle but she did have a cooler. She had gone to our favorite ice place and purchased ice cream for each of us. Nice surprise and wonderful treat!

 

The mauve page was created using a collage from Better Homes and Gardens. They do not seem to have the collages available now. I searched and searched so I could link them...they are not there. The second page is the latest template from Bourico Casper and is available on her blog: https://lady22.eklablog.com/template-6-2020-a188687044 .

J = JUNO

Juno is a large asteroid, and one of the four brightest asteroids.

Thank you, Lynda.

Back to pickleball...

 

Mom, Dad, son, grandson

My hairdresser's yard...

Here's some that aren't pickleball. My neighbor's grandchild. I had just these 2 photos.

F = flare

"Keep calm and play pickleball" is from the Campus, Inspiration, Template Q

Two more pickleball pages.

 

"See you on the court" upper left photo...I was clapping using one hand and my paddle. It is one way we congratulate our opponent on a good shot. "See you on the court" is from Miss Fish, Photo Frenzy Banners 04.

I also used the template, Lab 8-10. This is also from the current color challenge. All the papers are colors from that chart.
