Of course the LO is wonderful, but what delights me is seeing the joy of a mother and daughter sharing this together. Thanks for sharing! Susan

That is very cool. I especially love the stamps of all the places you have been -- might have to try that!!! Good job.

Just perfect! The colors are so coordinated -- good job. And I really like the way the calendar seems to be clipped to the picture and how it looks torn out of a spiral.

What a cool idea to include all those photos! I'll bet it takes you right back to that place, too. It is beautiful -- who needs icons, anyway??

I like the leaves scattered about, and the wood is a great idea. That adds a great touch. And I love the pumpkin and haystack pictures.

A butterfly baby! What fun :-) You did a great job.

Beautiful! Love the colors, and I agree -- you did a great job of blending with the pictures.

Fall has my favorite colors, and you captured them perfectly. Cute pictures, too!

Great job! I like the way you marked the special dates with the flowers.

Beautiful! And I especially like the way you highlighted the important dates! Susan

Great job with the puzzle pieces! I know this will be very special to him -- and there is no doubt a part of his heart that will deeply miss his MS kids. I'm sure he will keep this as a reminder of all of them. Susan

Thank you, everyone, for your encouragement! susan

I love the colors on this! You did a great job. I especially like the border around the flowers. Susan

The "alpha" is really a cut and paste job. While searching for Yuma+1949, I found a vintage post card on eBay. It was published in 1949 (when I was born) and had some scenes from the area inside the letters. I captured the letters and cleaned them up in PSE, added a stroke around the edge (don't look too closely!), and dropped it into place. Then I added a bevel. Thanks for your comment! Susan aka jude24
