@Karen Thanks, Karen. You can catch the "picnic table" in a few of my layouts here in the gallery, but this one shows it quite well. The bird feeder pole is hidden by Vinnie's bird house. And you can see that squirrels and raccoons aren't the only ones who enjoy the critter food.

Beautiful layout and I enjoyed your journaling. You really rocked the inner shadows.

@flowersgal Thank you!

For my photo, I put on a tiny stroke in white (11 px) and then my inner shadow settings were: Distance 24, Choke 12, Size 84. I just messed with the sliders until I liked what I saw.

For the blue mat, the settings were: Distance 18, Choke 6, Size 27. I didn't want to copy the same large inner shadow from my photo. I think it adds a bit more realism when things aren't quite the same. Again, no magic here, no special formulas. It is just what looked good to me. But I ALWAYS add in some choke.

Great frame. I love your journaling. Your mornings sound wonderful

Beautiful layout! I didn't make the deadline, but still made a page. These techniques were so much fun!

@Donitab @Cherylndesigns Thank you both. I do enjoy my mornings. I also love to sip my tea (PG Tips) in my recliner with the headphones on and I watch/listen to videos on scrapbooking and digital art.

@Cherylndesigns You are good with your deadline, it isn't until tomorrow:
Layouts are due Sunday, APRIL 26, 2020 at 1:00pm Eastern time
