08jun12 Fri CSC - changing seasons

Wow... Just gorgeous Jode! Your photo is stunning and so beautifully colorful and I really like how you used it as your background along with a beautiful job of blending with paper.. Also really enjoyed your journaling and like how it comes down the page - almost as a cloud. I like the font you used and your embellishment cluster and ribbon (flat one???!!!) perfectly completes your page. Lovely layout!

Oh, Jody - what a gorgeous photo! I ditto everything Marilyn said! I had to just take a few minutes and take in the beauty of this wonderful photo! It makes me long for Fall again! I just love how you've done your journaling! Beautiful layout!

Right now I think I'd prefer your Autumn/winter to our Summer - the weather here is rubbish at the moment. Will spend a little while longer looking at the blue sky in your lovely photo - it might be the only one I see for a while! Seriously Jody - another great page with very interesting journaling.

You captured a lovely scene with your photo and I enjoyed your journaling.

Gorgeous page Jody. I love how you did the the brush work and your journaling is wonderful. Fantastic job with this challenge!

This is so pretty - nice blending and and like the corner border/cluster you've created. It's only June and here we are in the 90s (must get out my metric conversion chart.) Fall pictures look good!

Beautiful photo! I love the perspective. I guess it's a good thing you captured those leaves while they were still around. I like how you've blended into the journaling. Beautiful border work too. This looks very different (to me) from your usual style, but it is just as lovely.

Jody, this is gorgeous! I envy anyone that actually gets Fall colors. As everyone else has said, your blending and brush work and everything is just perfect! Also, thanks for the font! I've found some great ones thanks to your LOs!

Beautiful, Jody. The vines and trees are just so idyllic. I love the treatment on the left with the BG Blenders. Still trying to figure out what you used to get the blended vertical text over your trees there. Really nicely done. Your journaling is great too. How is it that kids don't feel the temp changes that we feel so acutely? And when do we grow out of that? Thanks for joining the challenge.

Gorgeous. I love both Autumn and Winter. That tree is just splendid in all of its Autumn colors. Love your journaling and the blending you did, as well as adding that border to the page.

Beautiful! Hard for me to imagine the diffence in climates.

Beautiful photo! I love autumn and the colorful leaves on the trees. Love the blending and journaling. Great LO!

This is really beautiful. I love the blending, journaling and the cluster. We live a few kilometres away from vineyards and I'm sure if I go there for a drive I will get a very similar photo. Some parts of Australia and South Africa are a lot alike. Love this layout.

This is stunning and I love the journaling!

This is so pretty. I like how you used the white blended background behind your text. It brings to mind the movement of the cold smoke breathe you mention in your journaling or a passing cloud, then suddenly your autumn is gone and winter arrives. Love the colors of the tree reflected in the text on the left and the colored ribbon. So lovely.

Absolutely glorious, Jody! I love the lines of the vineyard posts receding into the distance, leading my eye to the buildings and hills. And I love your border treatment - however you did it! The scenery reminded Belle of Africa; I see California - perhaps because those are the only vineyards I've ever seen - but I've never seen trees with fall color there. Isn't it wonderful how seasons are different in different places?
