PLEASE enlarge this page in order to see it the way it should be. It absolutely drives me crazy, the loss of clarity and definition when a page is uploaded. I know all of you can relate. My last page for Kate's challenge ... "Lost Something". Again, I tried to create something that is a good thing to lose, although I recognize that sorrow does indeed have a place in our lives. To me, the girl's uplifted face radiates peace.

I spent a lot of time trying to get the lighting and smoothness the way I wanted it on this girl. And then posted and got all this graininess. Makes it seem like you're sometimes just wasting your time trying to get something right. Anyway, all of this was done with Lorie Davison's "Flitting Fall Fairies" kit (from Scrapbookgraphics), except tag, which is by Lily Designs, and flowers at the bottom by Pixel Fairy.
