Stefanie @StefanieS scrapped two beautiful examples for me!
The first called "Stop and Listen" is inspired by the Gift of Time (topic, title, and journaling) and Gift of Nature (the wood, flowers, leaves and topic) prompts.
Little Butterfly Wings : Mother Nature Bundle
The second page is titled "Love Matters," and Stefanie was inspired by the Gift of Giving (journaling about receiving a very thoughtful present for her birthday, the hearts also tie in with how it made her feel cared for and seen)

Monica @umyesh made this festive page for "The Gift of Joy" prompt. She used JOY as her title and the bright, happy colors and elements of the holiday season.

Ona also created this second lovely page for 'The Gift of Creativity' prompt. I love how the garden inspires creativity and art. Her textures, layers, and blending are so beautiful to capture this, as well as the pressed flower.
