Hello Lovely People, I will post my LOs tonight because, haven't made them yet  ! I thought I would give those of you that like to do things ahead of time (and seriously, who are you people?  and can you pass some of that enthusiasm along please?) the two "sketches" I am thinking of.  This one is from HipKit. This is the link to their blog post.
 This is not a sketch, obviously, but I thought it was a simple enough design to copy. I got it from Pinterest and for the life of me, I couldn't open the original link. Pinterest said it came from scrapbook studios tumblr account but the page was not found. My idea for these pages is to make something related to this self isolation moment in time. |

Both page designs look fun to play with. Good luck with your pages, cristelina. Can't wait to see them! |

 Here is my LO to go with the circle LO. I forgot to write "Longest Months Ever" next to Mar and Apr. It was really fast and easy to make. Now to tackle the sketch. |

 this is my take on the sketch. Hmm.. This is why I really don't do use sketches. I thought the sketch looked so much better than my rendition. Anyhow, Both of these LOs are about being stuck inside. I don't know how people in tiny apartments are managing. Have a good night everyone. |

That is such a lovely LO AussieMeg. It feels so light and airy. That was what I wanted mine to be.And those little kids! Adorable. ecvnj58-I love all the happy colors. Perfect compliment with the super-cute and happy little girl. I also like the yellow strip going the down the page. |

@cristlina, love your takes on the sketches. I love how you chose a mixed media circle element on Everything will be just fine. The outlining and the elements all clustered are fabulous. On Travel Dreams, this page is just dripping with representations to me and I LOVE that. Your criss cross lines in the background represents this mixed up time to me. Then the dream of being out has the cloud shaped background (dreaming). The hearts and stars – hope, happiness and love – still all there. AussieMeg, what adorable little ones! The cut outs are great. Perfect soft colors too. ecvnj58, beautiful happy page. Great variation in the circle size and love the elements added in. jeremysgirl, gorgeous wrap. Do you have the problem of not liking your creations often? If so, I need to live closer.  Of course, I think I'm only a couple hours from you. That tag is really pretty. I like the bird and the colors so much. |

Here's my take on the other sketch.  |

LisaDV yes I don't end up liking a lot of what I make. I give 90% of my makes away. I'm a process over product crocheter.

I'm with LisaDV, and would like to live closer to you, jeremysgirl if you are going to be giving away beautiful creations like that! But I know what you mean: I am a lot more critical of my own work than of others'. I think it is cuz I start out with this perfect picture in my head of how something is going to turn out, and then it never does... Great takes on the sketches, everyone! I have the circles cut and the papers found for the second sketch. Now that I see yours, jeremysgirl, I think I need to look for some buttons, and maybe some other "round things" as well. Hoping to get that page finished in the morning. |

jeremysgirl, that buddha sitting on lotus shawl is amazing! I love the frame over the photo to really draw your eye to the detail and the stitching over the happy colorful squares of pattern paper. Can't wait to see your take, grammadee. I have some photos put away in a traditional paper kit that I think would be perfect to adapt the circle sketch too. I'm hoping for some time this coming weekend to play.

grammadee, great minds think alike. The photos I have are already printed in circles. I thought I'd do something like you just did. Those are great photos. Love the heart with the men at work colors. All the construction objects and toys are just perfect for these photos.

My Circle Layout - I've had these photos printed in circles and thought I'd do them in a circle since 2017. This was just the inspiration I needed to finally do it. Thanks.  tBottleAcrobat by Lisa Davolt, on Flickr |

The first sketch reminded me of a die that I had.
I used this die on a travel notebook page.
I cut the die out then used other pattern papers for the square cut outs.
