Are you enjoying your summer yet?

We have had a great summer so far, visiting some of the tourist attractions with friends who arrived at the beginning of the summer.  And from the photos I’ve been receiving, some of you have been using your summer time to snap some photos!

Kari-Lynn Bezooyen, of AB, sent me a few photos – this one, using the Balancing Elements tutorial, epitomizes summer for me:

Sorry for the delay in posting the final submissions for our Apr/May tutorials!!  I have a friend and her family visiting and we took a whirlwind trip which included Niagara Falls, Canada’s Wonderland and downtown Toronto.  We got in late last night and I was unplugged for most of the trip (which was pretty nice, I have to admit!).  But without further ado, here are the final submissions…

Vicki Chippette, of NL:

Carrie Butterwick, of AB:

 

 

Stephanie Schan, of ON:

Karly Potts, of AB:

Another to Share!

Kristi Kennedy, of BC, has sent me another photo for our May tutorial assignment on Balancing Elements:

This photo of her children colouring depicts her daughter as the focal point, with her son in the background as an anchoring, or balancing, element.  Love the concentration in her sweet face!

Thanks for your submission, Kristi – and I’m encouraging everyone else to get their submissions into me before the deadline of June 30th!  Because wouldn’t your Canada Day be a little bit brighter if you were randomly chosen as one of the winners of our fabulous prizes??

Cheers,
