I am so happy you found this inspiring, Marilyn! Like you said earlier, no layout is ever late! Now - important thing is to keep that layout as a template so you don't have to start all over again! 😁

Weekend Challenge 3/16/24: Fragment - Julianne 12 Months of Photos
Celestine commented on MariJ's gallery image in Weekend Wildcard Challenge
I think this is really well done! It is hard to pack 13 images onto a page, but sometimes it is what the layout calls for! I think you did a terrific job positioning everything and making them all large enough to really see. The use of the ombre is perfect and I like the staggering. It is very pleasing to the eye. What a fun layout, and I am sure it will be treasured by Julianne's family, just like their lucky little shamrock! -

Tuesday Newsletter Inn-Bar-Harbor
Celestine commented on Boatlady's gallery image in Weekly Newsletter Challenge
Oh, my goodness, I ADORE this! That pattern in the top, paired with the gorgeous heart and wine cluster is fantastic. Those red chairs and the umbrella balance that stunning Gothic Revival house and the red damask perfectly. Wowza! Love it. You are so good at pairing your scenery images with patterned papers. You could teach a class on this technique. -

Marilyn - I am really loving this. The addition of the photos on the long strips really works! I'm with you about avoiding too much pattern if you are using color photos. The subtle background pattern is probably enough and provides really good contrast. Can't wait to see the final version!

Have you thought about dividing the set into six months on top and six months on the bottom, and then having a long strip for #13? This way your strips will not be so thin. The showing bits of paper will be fewer but maybe repeating some of the patterns will make it less jumbled looking. Just a thought!

March Recipe Swap-Kale and Potatoes

So, using the title as the fragment is an interesting take on the challenge. The colors are very pretty. I like the duplicate of the image in the corner with the cluster. Thanks for joining the challenge. April does the drawing for the newsletter and weekend challenges, so I don't know if she has accomplished that already.

March Recipe Swap - GREEN!
Celestine commented on Junkwithsteph's gallery image in Recipe Swap Gallery
Oh, I have a recipe that is similar, but without the avocado and with cilantro. I love that recipe with all the fresh herbs, so I will need to try this. I bet it is really good layered with fajitas as well. Yum. I love all the subtle shading and then the punched border. Thanks for joining the Recipe Swap! -
@MariJ As a reminder, I scrap pages in My Memories software, so I hope things translate. I created the photo boxes for the images first, trying to see how wide I needed them to be. If you do 12, then you will definitely be working in photo fragments, where only portions of your images are likely to be visible. So, set the standard width, and then stagger them up and down, and then space evenly (there is an "Align - Space Evenly Horizontal" command for selected items in My Memories.) I am pretty sure there is an Align and Distribute command in PS. Clip an image to each photo box. Then I created two more sets of photo boxes in the same width for each image, and bumped one up and one down from the image box, unevenly. Make sure they are lined up vertically with your image. Clip papers to each photo box. Bring the photo boxes with the images forward so they are layered in front of the boxes filled with papers. I did not place shadows on any of the boxes because I liked the look of the flat and I thought the contrast with the black paper was better without shadows. Also, I should mention that all the photo boxes were the same size for convenience sake, but the layering and staggered bumping up and down makes them look like different sizes. I hope this explains how I put it together and translates to PS! I know I should learn PS better as it has tools not available in My Memories, but I always think the simplest tasks take soooo much longer in PS. It is probably because I just know MM software extremely well and for some reason PS has NEVER been intuitive for me. Even when I was working in my government job, I knew Adobe's InDesign software really well and could never master PS. Weird, I know. 🤷♀️
