Fantastic, Pat. Love the layout and the mural. Guess I need to add Lafayette to the list on my next trip home. If ever...

Still working on my card decks and loving every minute of it. This layout uses Raku from Club Scrap. The moment I laid eyes on these papers, I knew I would use most of them for layouts about the ocean and abalone. These photos cover a feast we had on our last visit to the Coast house. Ah-baloney, is what I say. But this paper was too gorgeous to make a pun. Thanks for looking.

OMGosh! Raku is just the colors of the inside of that shell! Luscious, gorgeous LO.

love those colors

Beautiful artwork in this thread! The cards are lovely Nancy!
Pat, I love that you made a layout of the "street art". It's so pretty!
Jen - you chose the perfect kit for those photos! Love it!

ah baloney - that is gorgeous Jen!

Here are my two layouts using the two different cards from Deck 1 & 2. Trying to finish up my Tahoe trip and use the Transformations paper, most of it on the "B Side" since bamboo and Asian symbols just don't work for this subject,

Nancy -

Oh gosh Nancy! Your choice of papers for your stunner photos are perfect! After seeing that gorgeous, clean clear water I want to go back and kayak there again. There's just nothing like the colors of Lake Tahoe and your LOs really show it off.

Those are stunning layouts! What is the tower thing on the right top page?

That is the Rubicon Point Lighthouse - built in 1916 and in operation for only a short time. At 6,300 feet above sea level it is the highest elevation lighthouse in the USA. Mistaken for an outhouse by many, now being taken care of by a group of folks before it falls apart! Apparently it was very costly to maintain but it's light could be see from all over the lake.

These layouts are gorgeous, Nancy, and again I'm pleasantly surprised by how well that kit works with your photos. Think I can use it for lakes Natoma and Folsom?

I was very happy with this card challenge this month. Thanks to all for your supportive feedback.

Yes - flip the paper over if needed. Or when it's cut into mats or small pieces it works fine!

Wow, thanks, Nancy!

It's the Five of Spades this month and I have a couple of layouts finished. Here is the first one. I had to have that Simply Avant kit and then once it arrived, I was stumped on how to use it. A bit busy. I may manage to kill it off this week. Yay!

Photos of my niece and her recent foray into Ultimate Frisbee. Who knew? I think the activity fits the papers. I am amazed that I'm scrapping a sport on something non-sport related. Maybe some day I can regularly scrap out of theme. Probably not.

Thanks for looking.

Now looking at this on screen, I'm thinking I will trim a half inch off the right side and mount it on a black base. Might make that black pop a bit more. And calm down the edges??? What do you think?
