Hello LMAC and Hive members. @shaka, now holds a monthly contest with participants having the ability to submit multiple entries during that month for consideration. If you'd like to join in this monthly round for November, visit: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 220 - ✨100 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.
I wanted to share with you Entry #4 collage for the LMAC Round 220. My theme is preference.
Perhaps you prefer the peace and quiet of enjoying nature, hiking trails, bird watching, and any other lifestyle that is considered more laid back. Perhaps not, and you prefer a more robust lifestyle full of activity surrounded by others of like mindset. What one has to realize is that with each person's individuals tastes in how they spend their times, the idea of fun can be achieved.
It's all subjective as to which side suits you and your personality. As long as the activity brings joy to your life, then by all means indulge in it.
However, when having fun, if you're in an environment where alcoholic beverages are served, do consume responsibly and have a designated driver.
In preparing my theme, I included numerous images to illustrate both types of activities, many of which were from the #LIL database. The LMAC contest image was used as the dividing space between the activities. The "fun" activities are on the upper part of the scene.

I then utilized Canva, my design program, to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I begin with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, duplicating, resizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.
