Gorgeous! I love the stitched down ripped papers at the top!

Awesome work, Gracie! Love the big split framing of the main photo. Excellent journaling, and so true. The snippet of torn stitched patterned paper adds the perfect touch.

Oh, what a GREAT interpretation of the template. It really puts the spotlight on your wonderful picture. I love the papers you've chosen and the color palette. Well done!

I love the torn papers and how we seem to be looking through a window. Lovely page! Good luck!

The multiple split framing of the beatuiful photo is fabulous. Wonderful journaling- not only that for the page but also your ownderful insightful journaling in the description.

What a wonderful page!!! I love the torn paper bits and your journaling is so heartfelt!!! TFS and Good Luck!!!

great bottom cluster and border group. Love the hexagon photo

Love the way you blended the photo and split it but then came back and placed it in a hexagon over it. Very beautifully done.

Beautiful page I love the torn papers and the frame over the big photos makes it look like you are looking through a window - good luck this week

Love how you have displayed the photo on your page! The torn paper pieces look so good at the top of your page too.

Grace, you've made such a beautiful layout! I love your photo! Your little cluster is gorgeous and I love your journaling. The colors you used for your paper layering are perfect. You did such a great job! Good luck!!!

Great page. I like how you have your photos on display - reminds me of the bottom of a boat. I like your torn papers and the different shapes you have here. Very nice job. Good luck!

Love the torn papers and the cluster at the bottom!

Grace, I am so glad you were able to complete this challenge, even with all you have on your shoulders. Your creations have been wonderful and so beautifully crafted. Your journaling is very painful. I am so sad for those times you feel as though you are in ruins. You are going through some tough times, but these will pass.
Beautiful layout. Even in the depths of your struggles, you have taken the time to craft something beautiful and thoughtful. Good luck.

That is a beautiful photo of the sun reflecting off the water. I like the layered papers, your title and heartfelt journaling.

Grace, love your river metaphor about life, AND this gorgeous layout! What a peaceful picture you chose with the 'happy' sun reflecting away. I love all the different shapes and textures on your page, and the way the big photo is blocked like a window. This page definitely wants me to "touch" it. I also really like your use of the wood background and the torn papers. It all fits so well together. But it is your journaling that truly pulls the page all together. Your first sentence made me smile... very clever!
Wonderful work, my dear! I keep looking and seeing more and more details you put into this page. Glad you were able to get it done. Thanks for the beautiful comments on my layouts! ♥

Awww, Grace, this is just wonderful. Makes me feel like I'm vacationing up north. Love all you element placements and it looks like I'm looking through a windoow. Just wonderful!

Fantastic LO and analogy on life!

Wonderful journaling. I love the quote on your page.
