Suzie Q, thank you so much! I get a bit antsy when people start praising my journaling, though. It's just soooo hard for me to do! :biggrin8: But you really made my day!!

[Tracy]

OK, I'm back with another, and, no, Suzie and I don't have an under-the-table deal going here. :25r30wi: But how can I resist putting her stunning extractions and shadow work here???? Just look at this beauty! Absolutely brilliant!

[gateausoso]

Thank you so much for the GSO, Tracy! You are making my day!

I was trying to find the right design to feature this wonderful picture of Éméril (1948) and I thought the very simple recipe of April challenge would leave all the focus on it.

[Tracy]

Another beauty I found in the gallery today was by Kathi! LOVE the framing and cluster work here, and that blended photo with the text is fabulous!
