A lot of people have asked about the size photos I print. I use the Collage feature in picmonkey.com. I change the size to 1800 x 1200 (which makes it a 4x6 photo). I try to put as many photos as I can on one 4x6 partly because I hoard my ink and don't want to print full photos of everything, and partly because I like my filler cards and want them to be able to be seen in my scrapbook and not completely covered up with a photo. So the sizes of the photos are just from me messing with them and seeing what should be bigger than another, etc and making them all fit as best I can on one 4x6 print. This week I printed 3 of the 4x6 photo sizes. Normally I just print 2.
Here are my Week 3 pages (3 pages this time instead of 2):

Seeker girl card (love that artwork)
List (using the Twist for this challenge) - 5 things you may not know about me:
1 - I love the aroma of brewing coffee, but don't drink it
2 - Crowds terrify me
3 - I can be Claustrophobic
4 - I won't walk over anything I can see through: grates, docks, etc.
5 - I can't sleep without wrapping myself up like a mummy in my green blanket.
Middle Row:
You're weird. I like you. (Love this card!)
Friday's Photo a Day "nature."
Love card - includes a heart die from My Creative Time.
What I Love List (using the TWIST for this challenge.)
1 - My Family
2 - My Retired Life
3 - Camping
4 - Planning with Tom
5 - Our Pit Bull Babies
Bottom Row:
Bike card that says Adventure def: a mission with a positive outcome and some cool stuff along the way.
I included a tiny photo Tom took Saturday. They are building a Hardees in Swansea. That's the town 10 minutes from where we live. It's very surprising that any big food chain is coming this close to North. Yay!
Quote Card - this is a $22,000 pool table we saw Saturday during our shopping trip to Columbia. That's a lot of money!! It was really pretty though. They also had a $5,000 juke box. Those 2 things would be super cool in Tom's mancave - when he gets it built. If we only had that kind of pocket change. LOL

This is Life card.
Kati and her Kitty cat. She commented that I didn't have any photos of her child in the family scrapbook. LOL
Middle Row:
Picture of Tom with our 2 babies both crowded onto his lap.
I played around with Art Journaling in a spiral notebook last week. I'm no artist, but it was still fun.
Last photo is our dining room table with a puzzle Tom is working on his end, and the one I'm struggling with on my end. For Sunday's Photo a Day "Today is.." Puzzle Day.
Bottom Row:
Life According to Me... Tom, Kati and I all wear some type of Vivo step counter. My sleep graphs tend to show strange spikes in movement randomly during the night. I just thought I'd share one of those graphs with you. You would think that peek represented me getting up and going to the bathroom or something, but no, I slept good that night. I have no idea what I was doing that made that activity spike like that. Guess I was having a dream I was running or something. LOL
Do What Makes You Happy!
That's my Week 3 Photos and Journaling.
Long post - I know- but thanks for hanging in there until the end.
