Here's Mine:


Together Land, Where my boys will always let me hold their hands! My boys are getting so big that there's not as much hand holding and affection for Mom/Gigi. Top that off with a teenager who isn't sure if he wants to be here, and I am just longing for a happy place where my boys are happy to be with me. I love this kit by Forever Joy! Green is my favorite color and it is featured so beautifully in this kit!

Thanks for this challenge! It's nice to imagine a happy and sweet place!

Huggles!!

This was so much fun - loved everything about this challenge which seemed super easy at first - I had figured out how to use inner shadows to acheive a cut out effect a while ago - but had to come up with a different way of producing the same look because I needed to sandwich a few elements in between the layers... Ended up tracing the shape and using the divide/intersect/subtract buttons - I'm not sure which one now...it was all about trial and error step-by-step discovery process. Who knew outer shadows can do THIS too??? I definitely know more about my Affinity Designer now than I did yesterday. THANK YOU so much for this challenge @AnneofAlamo. I wish there had been more technique-based challenges.

I had a heck of a time coming up with this and I hope it's okay, Anne. This is the fourth page I've created and I'm still not sure if I did what you wanted.

 
@crlin @RJMJ , sorry I confused more than I helped. My apologies. I think I did not make it clear what layer you should be on, but so glad you figured it out.
 
Thank you for the challenge! I had so much fun creating my little fantasy world! Playtime is definitely good for the soul:) My goal is to finish MOC9 today and make some of my fantasy come true....tea, a book and a plate of chocolate chip cookies! Thanks again for a fun challenge!!
 
I had so much fun making this page Anna, than you for challenging me!
