February sharing and commenting thread

Starting commenting finishing off page three:

So sorry you are still struggling to join the Gallery, patin.  I will see if I can find the private email address that admin sent me when she invited me to be board monitor and see if I can reach her that way.  I have changed computers since then, but hoping I still have the info.

myboysnme , you are perfectly welcome to share on this thread! Love your pages. The wedding page is so suited to their informal wedding: love the angled graphiti look lettering, simple page design with the interlocked hearts and the selfie photo. That pic of your dgd's hand in yours is a classic, and I am glad you scrapped it with flowers and gold foil. This is a special memory to record, for sure.

gmcwife1 , you did wonders with those papers and that card design. Love the soft teal/yellow with the stark black/white, and I like the different ways you framed the greeting. Well done!  And on page four:  the florals are really pretty and perfect for Mothers' Day cards.  But I think my favourite of the papers you have used is the CLOCK pp on the last batch.  Where did you get that?  So perfect for so many occasions!  It seems you can take ANY pp combo, a simple design, and create something special!  You are a card making wizard!

Am hoping to catch everyone else on Flickr.  

Ha ha! nylene you are NOT so POKEY! You beat kitbop to posting your take on her yesterday's challenge! And only 3 "behind"? Wow!
Will leave you some love in the Gallery.

Here is MY take on February 14th challenge.

February '21 calendar page by Gramma Dee, on Flickr
POINTS:  one page created & shared (2).  Donna challenge (5) plus bonus (2) for two pic's.  29-4-29 challenge Day 14 + twist:  hearts (5).  Other challenges:  #6 (4x4 photos), #10 (hearts), #22 (V day), #24 (stash), #27 (Love these guys), #33 (arrows), #34 (red), #39 (twine bow), #42 current pic's (2), #44 (,24 words), #55 (stars), #57, #58, #60 + bonus (5).  Total;  34.

I think I am at least 10 or 12 days behind... Not sure I will get there by the deadline, but having fun with the challenges and can use them for inspiration in later months.

Love your attention to detail, gramma , and how professional your pieces look. Will look at them more closely on Flickr.

My page this morning, in contrast, is pretty messy! But it was fun to put together, and I still love it once it is finished, so that is a good sign... It is for yesterday's 29-4-29 challenge to use more than one mixed media technique on a project. There is a prompt today on Scrap Happy's LOAD to play on the word Invisible, to display something for which I am simply an observer, unnoticed by participants. I am often the unseen/unnoticed observer of my grandkids' play, and I love taking photos of them as they enjoy their surroundings and each other. The first photo I took myself--and believe me this young man was totally focused on his little brother, not me. The second photo was taken by the kids' mom. The transparent items are an acrylic snowflake I diecut a couple of years ago and some clear acrylic drops.

And here is the facing page with the journaling and a selection of the MANY pic's I snapped of these little guys (aged 4 and 6) enjoying the acres of snow (and ice!) on the farm:

And I DID get to do the second LO this morning, even with interruptions. To be "efficient" for DawnMcD 's challenge for today, I needed to start with what was already on my scrap counter, which was this guy's other hockey pic's and the papers and supplies I had already pulled for the first two pages. So this meets Day #28.

And because the first page is a lift of KelleeM 's page as presented by lilacgal for yesterday, I am claiming it for that challenge as well. Gotta love Two-fer's!
