LisaDV left you lots of love in the gallery! msliz love your second page to complete the spread. The doily and little heart are so pretty! And I love love that date night page so much! The colors and the big flower are so awesome! cristelina love the 20 years page; you should add 5 points for a donna LO (important story). The muted colors are so pretty and I love how you tucked the journaling away and used such a prominent title! Love the before and after page, especially your journaling and the little pops of bright colors in the alphas and embellies! You chose a perfect title for the lovely page; beautiful girls and a beautiful LO! Love the sequins sprinkling down from the rosette! I love the modeling paste on the you are beautiful page and all your cute doodles and journaling. What a fun page! And last but not least, I love your “our life in pages” post; great synopsis!

Yay! I made one LO this weekend. This was taken two years ago. My son works for Glacier National Park. The sticker that says I lied about the outdoors refers to me. I am always amazed that he is such an outdoors guy.

It has been a crazy month for me between funerals, ms flares and moving I haven't been around much. My complete apologies to my fellow teammates... I am considering not joining October's team as I don't want to take a spot and hurt the team... Anyway, some good news we did find a beautiful house plan in the Villages and are full steam ahead getting our house ready to put on the market. so now purging moves to stuff other than the scrap heap! Yikes! Here are my final creations... mame&me04 by Marybeth Cully, on Flickr Claiming 13 points for stash challenge and posting, along with #'s 4, 7, 10,12,15,22,29 & 33 ... and 6 points for making the Bulletin board celebrating the studios 15 year anniversary...

Coffee Tag Where I made everything, practiced a new action and had to go and lie down for 3 hours Challenges met: Sketchtember #29 (with twist of chevrons); numbers = 9 I Love ReadingI heard my favourite quote last night, which always makes me giggle, and prompted this page. "A leg? An effing leg?" "And it's not even my size!" said Strike. (Cormoran Strike has an artificial leg. Career of Evil.) So, four of my favourite books/authors... This started out on a white background but I happily filled a layer with black while making a border and decided this looked great!
Challenges met: Sketchtember #30 (with twist of something old - I have a paperback version of A Is For Alibi that's over 20 years old), dot it up =9

I am considering not joining October's team as I don't want to take a spot and hurt the team... woodysbetty - You stopped me in my tracks as I was happily oggling pretty pages this morning - don't say this!!! I don't think *anyone* cares what points you are getting, it's having everyone around that counts. Maybe you can only be encouragement for us, or maybe we can encourage you to get a little bit scrapped, and maybe it's just your presence in the monthly chat group, or your challenges in the list, but in any case, please join!

OK, back to our regularly scheduled layout comments woodysbetty - sweet moment is lovely, so much detail and prettiness. I am in awe of your bulletin board. I think people will never know how much thought that took, it looks absolutely brilliant. The polkadot paper in the middle - I can't remember where it's from??? I love it, and think it brings your board together perfectly. kiwigirl - family time - so beautiful, and you've inspired me on the acetate frame - *behind* the photo. duh. Why had I never thought of that??? I was just flipping through a few of these yesterday! Putt Putt - wow with the colour, you rainbowed so many parts (dots, texture polka, leaves) that it's absolute eye candy. JaneB - love the multi-coloured enamel dots under the book tags. They are gorgeous. And I love the mini tag horizontal to the main tag shape on coffee cristelina - the circle embellies drawing the eye through the floral pp and your main circle are so pretty and subtle. love it!

Gorgeous grande finale, kiwigirl! Love all the ways you have framed the photo against that black background. That "sequin waste" is wonderful torn like that. I have very few pieces of magic mesh hiding in a drawer and a bit of other mesh as well, but I really wish I had some of the stuff you use! I know you have posted at least 31 pages this month (36 if I count the extra examples with your sketches) and I know I have not commented in detail on each of them. But I want to say that your creativity with colour and design, and the way you approach scrapping "just for the sheer joy of it" is an inspiration to me and I believe a lot of other people. Thank you SOOO much for hanging out with us and sharing your beautiful pages.

the final layout for 2005 - this is the album I thought was finished but as I was scanning it - I kept coming across page protectors of loose photos...its finished, scanned, and in an actual ALBUM now and on the shelf. I'm never very inspired by christmas present opening photos so I went simple here and used Deluxe Designs colour blocking templates. I still have my 8.5x11 color block templates! I ran across them the other day and thought I need to pull them out. Love this simple page!

Our Lives in Pages - page 2 LisaDV has a wonderful husband with crazy hair. All he needs is to turn his skin orange and his hair in this photo would make him a shoe in for trump. justlisa7 went to a wedding and shared the most amazing photo of the happy couple. linda had lots of fun at Legoland in Florida. catseatcheese was able to enjoy the most adorable baby back in 2004. She also went to a wedding in 2011 and yet another wedding. And after all this fun Catrina went home to her fuzzy little guinea pig? hamster? And someone was cherished back February 2018. KelleeM went to a very beautiful and relaxing beach. Was this before or after the windows had to be replaced?

These 2 cards are for sketches #26 and #30 - I'm starting to play with Christmas card ideas - I got this stamp set for my coworkers, thinking it was fun. Both use the twist of "old" - there is NOTHING new on here except the stamps Actually, for "holiday cheer", the red and green pp is old CADD paper (and honestly, I don't like it. Probably won't use it again!!!) First card - 5 + 2 + 8 points = 15 Second card - 5 + 2 + 6 points = 13 card holiday cheer by kirstendrew, on Flickr card reinbeer time by kirstendrew, on Flickr

Ok, I'm back, trying to catch up again! If I skip you it's because I know I've commented elsewhere - or I've just missed you because I'm an idiot Page 18Linda love the Tugboats, beautiful tranquil colours, love the bits at the bottom of the page, perfect! kitbop wowDec 14th is WONDERFUL! I adore that little bit of spotty washi, so lush! Great doilies and baubles and the black & white spotty paper, it's all perfection! I love the washi tape on Baking as well, so gorgeous! JaneB Week 38 is amazing, I love those inky edges and the massive sunflower, fabulous! I love Felines, great colours and I adore the grumpy cat face! So awesome. I love your picture on the Rainy Day's Work page, so cool and the fabulous colours you've used, the page looks fab! It Don't Matter Now is amazing, I love both sides so much and I love that they're so different with bright colours on one side and a bit more steampunk looking on the other, they're so lush! Again, I love the next two pages as well, Vanity Fair and My Way, so different but they look so good together because instead of looking at them as one, I'm definitely appreciating them as separate pages, love the embellishments on both though, the banners and theater curtain. Great Winter page, I love the 4 squares with the heart and footprints and blinged out clock! msliz definitely give Nuvos a tester on any other colour than white cause they do go weird on black (none of the jewel colours work at all, they all look clear). Was this your daughter who cut her hair off now dying it blue cause wow, it looks cool! Love your layers of paper on both the blue hair LOs, they look amazing! I adore Gay, love your banner it's so freaking cool and the photos are amazing, as are the colours you've used, so bold and fabulous! nylene wow! Your Autumn DLO is amazing! So autumn with those colours and the little house and the acorn banner, it's all fantastic! LisaDV I am pretty sure I commented on all your LO's on the relevant sketch threads, I'm so sorry if I missed one, I am a bit useless like that sometimes! cristelina I love your Donna LO, it's lush! That is a bit of a difference in the before and after pictures for sure, I love that you've documented this. I also prefer the before house a whole lot more! What the heck is that turret doing on the after??!!! Your Lovely LO is gorgeous, I love the background paper and that rosette is perfect! I love the texture of the embossing paste on You Are Beautiful, it looks amazing. Page 19I'm on the actual page again! stinkerbelle I love Funnel Cake (I don't even know what funnel cake is? I have to google that one!), the title is awesome, love those letters I love that grey striped paper and your amazing collection of flair and brads, so awesome! Twins is so cool too, I love the touch of black & white washi and your sewing, way to go girl! I love Wonderful, that circle frame in the background behind the photo is awesome! The washi looks fab too, love the look cristelina Andrew @ 30 is Amazing! Love the circle and the background paper is super lush, great photo and I adore your little word stickers too. It's gorgeous! What fantastic dresses on Comadres and your background paper is perfect and I love the addition of the Nuvos. Super lush LO, I love your style! woodysbetty wow, Sweet Moment is fabulous, so many gorgeous little touches like the string on the tag, the heart brad and the flowers, it's super lush! That bulletin board is freaking amazing! So much work on that, I bet it took you ages! It looks wonderful. Please don't sit out a month on a team just cause you think you won't get much done, seriously, the points don't matter (unless you're on my team and then we must win at all costs and I will come over and crack the whip Hahahaha! Just kidding) but I need you around, you gave me great advice about the BSD book and I will always appreciate that, you can have the credit for me almost halving my Hba1c number! Linda Hope is amazing! I love the background paper it is super lush and sets the whole LO off, perfect! T Rex is great, that little dinosaur is just the perfect touch! HMS Albion is brill as well, I adore the little stars at the bottom of the page, they're perfect! Oh kitbop Reinbeer is so cool, I love that! Great colours and the striped tag is just perfect but the Reinbeer is super cool! Loving those Nuvos on the 3 tag card as well, super cute, I would love to get that card, it's so awesome!
