Ladies, I apologize now for the large amount of sharing I am going to do right now. I have been working in the craft room for a couple of weeks and finally had time today to get some photos uploaded. It seems that I have finally figured out how to get my photos uploaded from my Mac to Flickr (although it is STILL making multiple copies of each....GRRRrrrr). Anyhow, finishing up Project Life for 2019. From November on I was in Bulgaria, the USA, China, France, and did traveling around Spain. I had no time to get my layouts finished. Last month I spent my time preparing the baby album and I finally found time to get 2019 in the book. I was able to do a lot of stash busting on these PL layouts!  IMG_1950 by Catrina Smith, on Flickr  IMG_1952 by Catrina Smith, on Flickr  IMG_1953 by Catrina Smith, on Flickr  IMG_1954 by Catrina Smith, on Flickr I found a 6x6 paper pad from Teresa Collins that I know is at least 6 years old (since I bought it so probably older....and used every bit of it plus some additional other bits and bobs to get these photos from China in the PL album).

 WOW catseatcheese, that's the most international PL I've ever seen! I'm exhausted and jealous! Congratulations, a job very well done, love all the colours and prints and how interesting your backgrounds are.

gramma, you CAN'T get burnout. I am loving all your card ideas and taking notes. I am amazed by the sheer number as well as the cute designs and papers you use. Congrats.

WOW catseatcheese , that's the most international PL I've ever seen! I'm exhausted and jealous! Congratulations, a job very well done, love all the colours and prints and how interesting your backgrounds are. We live in Europe at the moment and I travel often for work. As we are going to have a baby in the next 2 weeks we tried to get a few extra trips in during the last few months. It can be very exhausting. We are really glad that we were in China in early December and did not have any trouble with travel since many airlines have cancelled flights and travel within China has been restricted as well. |

This was loaded into my Flckr gallery but not shared here yet:
Just one of those layouts when the boys were getting comfy when we moved into our new house.
The next two are from a kit from Paper Loft titled "In the Zone" I've had it about 10 years, since the boys first came home! (FYI they were adopted 10/15/2009 from Russia.)
This is from a kit by Embellish It! bought in 2012 at a CKC in Portland
I found that when I used photos from a season rather than one event it works well for kits . . . plus I get more photos in an album instead of doing a bunch of single photo single page layouts.

This was a fun LO to do. I borrowed the design from my Lord’s Prayer LO. The second pic is the original of the large dot paper. I filled in a few of them with the white to make them look like donuts! Also used an actual donut sticker for one in the top left corner.

KikiPea, I love what you did with the big dot paper. Now it perfectly fits a donut layout. Cute little banner and I love your clusters. Your donuts look tasty. Love the bottom paper that matches some of the dots. Such a bright and fun layout. angel97701, I left love in the gallery on your cute boy pages.

Another camping trip from last year. My DH's cousin just relocated near this camping area last year & she was happy to have company on her walk. We hadn't seen her DH for several years, as he had stayed in Belize the few times she had come home in the 15 years they lived there. We had a nice visit at their home, but he is a bit shy so I didn't get a picture of him. I wish I had as he passed away 3 months later.

What a SWEET Valentine page, KikiPea ! Love your clusters, as usual. Those donuts look yummy! And putting the white circles on top of the coloured ones on the pp to create a donut background is GENIUS! Heading over to Flickr to leave some love for patin . Then I need to catch up on adding up my points before I start creating again and getting further behind. Working on a bd card for my dgs and a couple of facing pages. Both have several pieces, so I am going one piece at a time... |

soooo....I am still unable to access the 2Peas Gallery on Flickr, but I will go to your individual names to catch up on comments (pending receiving approval) so I have a lot to catch up on. Sorry. I'd like to thank you all for your lovely comments. & taking the time to point out things you like. That is so helpful to me! KikiPea - LOVE< LOVE LOVE your Lord's Prayer LO. Of course I love the subject matter, but I really like the "kikipea" touches- the clusters, the strip journaling. One of my favorite LO's of all time! grammadee - Your LO's about you are so good! and like everyone else, you ARE the "Alberta Cowgirl in the Straw Hat with a Camera Lady" to me! joblackford - Your mom card is so wonderful! Perfect colors & die cut- you could truly use it for anytime you needed to send a card to MOM. nylene - you even scrap the pics your family sends you? Impressive! nylene & grammadee - what a coincidence that your lovely granddaughters chose such a similar dress. I wonder what my Senior granddaughter has chosen? Can't wait to see if they could be triplets! Well, this is the last of the Camping pictures- soon it will be back to catching up a few LO's I need to finish for 2018 & 2019 & of course, Italy.

I made a few more quick cards the other day to tidy up some piles of scraps:  February cards by jo.blackford, on Flickr I’ve also been making pages for my 2020 photo book but none of them are really finished yet. I’ve just laid out the photos and text and I’ll go back and add embellishments once I figure out what I need. I’ve done 4 spreads for January. My family really appreciated the extra journaling compared to what I usually do so now I have to keep that up! |

Wow! So much to comment on... This board is on FIRE!!! Will come back to spread some love in a minute. First I want to share a few things myself. I think kitbop has driven me [finally] crazy! With her recipe challenges, combining other challenges into one, I started thinking, but could I combine 29-4-29 challenges? If I am successful at getting all the elements, I *think* I have #'s 10, 15, and 19 here. Took a two pager to do it, but... This is the LO I [almost] finished during joyfulnana 's Hangout session yesterday evening. I had started it a couple of days ago, creating the mixed media pp for some of the diamonds.  bonding over hair by Gramma Dee, on Flickr POINTS: two pages created & shared (4). Three 29-4-29 challenges + twists (15). Other challenges: #4 diamonds (12), #6 resized photos (2), #7 double page (1), #10 hearts (2), #14 torn edge (1), #17 mists (2), #21 chipboard (2), #24 stash busting (2), #27 love these girls (2), #30 flowers (2), #32 floral patterns (2), #37 Three patterned papers (3), #38 purple cardstock (1), #44 50+ words (2), #52 journaling strips (1), #57 and 58 (4), #59 doodles (1), #62 Fall album (2), #64 dots (2). Total: 65. While I was bumbling along collecting and creating the pieces for that LO, I put together a bd card for my dgs whose 7th bd party will include a military obstacle course challenge at the CFB where his dad is posted. Another open box card:  military box card by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Points: I am going with Easy Peasy here: 15. This morning I put together a couple of quick easy pages. After all the decisions and precision yesterday, this was FUN to do!  super toys by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Points: two pages created & shared (4). Other challenges: #6 resized photos (2) #7 double page (1), #9 scraps (2), #10 hearts (2), #27 love these kids (2), #29 embossing (2), #33 arrows (2), #38 four colours on each page (8), #44 <25 words (1), #49 glittery letters (1), #57 & 58 (4), #61 fun colours (2).

boymom5, I love your Christmas “give joy” layout. I love the big floral piece you used for the background. Paired with the glitter papers it makes a great backdrop for your photo. Love the banner cluster with your title. I couldn't get this page to pull up on Flickr. gmcwife1, your cards are really pretty. So many different patterned papers but all backed by the black cardstock and they look fabulous. That is such a great design. Thanks for sharing. myboysnme, I love your cover for your son’s wedding album. That background paper says it all, and I love the big title. Very classy. Your hand holding layout is fabulous. I love the gold and the very special sentiment. That photo is delightul. It makes me miss little grands. Mine seem to be growing up too fast!

I did this one from a 29-4-29 sketch from AussieMeg. It's Vicky Boutin pp - I punched the circles out of a pp, and then put them into the diamond format from the sketch.  layout breakfast secrets by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

And here I am scraplifting AussieMeg for the day 20 (?) challenge. Pleased to be scrapping. But I don't think I'll be able to catch up with all the challenges. And the title: I knew it had to be a take on "Chestnuts roasting by the open fire" since that song was stuck in my head, hence the phrasing!  layout chestnut thwacking by kirstendrew, on Flickr |
