The last page will be the cover page for my Spring 2021 album. These little guys can NOT wait for summer! (even though summer very seldom arrives in Canada any time near March) Gorgeous page! I recently scrapped a similar photo of my son and nephew when they were about the same age, outside in their shorts and no shirts in spring. Sun's out, guns out!

I'm in use-it-up mode! Today I made a winter/holiday set of 13 cards with some Carta Bella Snow Much Fun supplies and the current (March) Sheetload of cards sketch as a starting point. I shared more details in the Sheetload and 12 card challenge threads, sorry for the threepeat, but I'm excited because I used some glitter trim I've had forever and I used up the whole sticker sheet. March sharing by jo.blackford, on Flickr March sharing by jo.blackford, on Flickr I worked on these cards to try out a new die I bought, and I did the shaker to use up some sequins I won in a giveaway. I used 3 old Brusho backgrounds on these cards. March sharing by jo.blackford, on Flickr I made this birthday card for my Mum with the My Monthly Hero kit from January (which I somehow bought even though it was sold out!) I did the coloring as part of my 100 day project and I'm so in love with the bumblebees. I used one of my favorite Ella and Viv papers for the background. March sharing by jo.blackford, on Flickr

I used a Gina Miller free template for this LO, and the 'Live a Good Story' kit by Kim B Designs. Beautiful! Do you have an IG account? I’d love to follow. I recent opened one just for my scrappy stuff, if you do IG! @kikiscrapsalot

azcrafty - LOL boy cards! Awesome colours. AussieMeg - those colours are so different and eye catching! I love the woodgrain background and your splatter. My DD would go to the mall in her owl onesie, probably until she was 13... And my announcement: I finished all the challenges for 28-4-28 This one was the last 2: memorabilia and "firsts". My student card has been sitting on my scrap desk for my entire scrapbook life I think - 20 years - waiting. I sewed it into a plastic pocket which flips over to reveal more journaling underneath plus you can see all the renewal stickers on the back of it. I die cut the letters out of the background paper, and layered them up 4 layers of cardstock to create dimension, but still have the text line up. That took some time layout first life student by kirstendrew, on Flickr This is fabulous! That’s a lot of work on that title, and it paid off! So cool!

Wow! KikiPea! Your pages are gorgeous! Love how you used your vaccination sticker and a shot of your immunization record. And the piled up super distressed pieces form a perfect background. Perfect use of triangles (and in such pretty colours and patterns) on the Photo Op page! I love that you have birthday parties for your dogs. And what you did with the chevrons draws the eye right in to the fun photos. Your page with the "Live colorfully" sticker is amazing. I would have been afraid to add more colour or graphics to the page, but you expertly did this without taking the focus away from the photos. Did you splatter the background? And what a fun page as your dog investigates the pond! Love the little bubbles coming up from the fish, and all the torn edges. And the Moo Cafe page is delightful! Your skill at building giant clusters with photos and title is amazing!

teacherlisa , your flowers are coming along nicely. I like that you showcased them on the darker backgrounds to give them impact.

You always say the sweetest things. 🥰 Yes, on the Live colorfully LO (Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX...it will have coordinating LO’s with that info.) I “kissed” the top half of the page with distress oxides. 🙂

Last night I finished Christmas 2020. I had a few other layouts for 2021 that I have also finished. I have 2.5 more layouts for a 2019 cruise and then I go back to 2002 to 2008. It is kind of weird to be "nearly caught up." My kids were 5 and 7 in 2002, so I can go back and use a lot of the lines I bought years ago for that age group. I can also use more elementary school lines that have built up. It also helps that I have over 400 pre-made layouts that I can match pictures with to make the process go more quickly.
I clearly need to go on a beach vacation so I can get more pictures.

I worked on a set of 12 cards using a sheet of Bloom Street cut aparts (more details in the March Sheetload and 12 card challenge threads, sorry for the repeats again) March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr and these are the more free-form designs I did the past couple of days, most are also based on Sheetload sketches: March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr I used some of the Coco and Reno doily dies that azcrafty enabled me to buy. They make nice decorative circle backgrounds for the floral pieces. I even used embossing folders 3 times, which is a miracle! I think reorganizing my supplies helped remind me to use them. These papers are really busy and I don't have many b-sides to work with (stupid paper pads) but I do have some coordinating plain papers.

Two pages for me this morning. (They actually have been in progress for about three days). I {hope} they are more straight than they appear in this photo. Not much of a problem, since they will be in a 3-ring binder and spaced apart a bit.
POINTS: two pages created & shared (4). R-3 five photos for the Donna challenge (5), P-2 travel ephemera (2), P-3 four sheets of thickers (4), P-4 the arrow pp is from 2013, and I think those little airplanes are about the same (4), P-5 gold letters (1), S/I-3 two circles (2), S/I-4 seven triangles (7), T-4 stamped date (1), T-5 W/T-6 journaling title and date (1), Th-5 March 2021 pic's (2), Inked edges on both pages (2), N/S-1 three photos on one page (3), N/S-3 three patterns on each page (6), N/S-5 three 3x5 photos (3). Total: 47.

Finished this earlier this week. Started it last Sunday evening but didn't have the title on it until Wednesday.
Used a couple of challenges and kind of jumped off of one of the sketches from Immunity and Beyond, but got sidetracked

Wow! You ladies have been busy! Linda, your documentation of your family's life is phenomenal. And I am always impressed with how you get so much impact from perfect colours and little perfect touches. Love the greens with the blue skies in those park photos, the embellished flower centres on the Mini page, the Family Game Night page with the hand made embellishments, and the criss crossed mats on the last page echoing the plaid in your dd's shirt. angel97701, I will head over to Flickr to take a closer look at your page. I have another LO almost complete this evening, and some plans for the next one. Hoping to drop into the virtual crop on Sunday to finish both of them up.

There are several different ones but these light pink are my favourites. and one more...enjoying working on recent photos - March 2021
