Instead of highjacking another thread. We have certain motifs that we all find easy to use - hearts, stars, flowers, circles, but what about those motifs that are a little more difficult. What about starting a thread about those items and how we could/do use them? going beyond the literal use of the layout being about said object or having one in the photo.

Anchor - you anchor me, nautical, beach, cruise
Animals (random) - wild thing, wild child, wild at heart, wild about you
Antique cars, sayings like “you’re a classic” on cards or pages for older guys

Bees - spring/summer, industrious, "Bee happy" "Bee proud" "Bee adventurous" whatever u want actually, Sweet,
Bicycles - spring/summer, this was easy for me with them in bmx....but for following dreams, riding into sunset, chasing dreams/goals etc, only one stopping self is you
