The water made me think of this photo our son took in his backyard. The buildingpit for his garage had turned into a pond after the rain. And these ducks came for a swim in it.

Great job, Schellie! What a cute pair they are...
I'm definitely back online with all my kits uploaded, so all of you talented ladies can expect a pm from me in a few hours. We're off to celebrate my MIL's birthday right now, so...
See you soon!

Stella, you've provided two "Inspiration" challenges for me this month! This one and the freestyle one, for me, were the same topic. I just love the ocean (as you've read with my submission for the freestyle challenge )! It just so happens that I love birds too! So this one was great for me, thank you.

Here's mine:
The Sea

[Jan Merkley]

Here is my layout for the challenge! I love the beach and the ocean. I spent a lot of time playing at the beach near our home when I was a child. I also love the birds. And I had these photos of wild Canadian Geese that I just love. So I took my inspiration from the seagulls in your photo.

Here is my LO. Visiting my Dad last week we took a walk on the beach at Carlsbad, CA and snapped this picture. My inspiration from it was to write a verse.

I was inspired by the sense of calm and relaxation of that beach picture. So I found a "relaxation" picture of my brother from a vacation a couple summers ago:

Just Relax

[Stella]

Wow~ I didn't expect such a great turnout for my humble little challenge..
Thank you so much, Ladies ~ those were gorgeous, inspiring for me, layouts!
