Sorry I didn't get this set up when I started the other May threads.
Please share your creativity with us by sharing photos/scans of your projects, or links to where we can see them. It is tremendously inspirational to see what others have created.
If you are playing along in the iNSD thread, please share your creations there. And if you are responding to a particular stand alone challenge, (like a Sketchy Saturday or a 2Peas card Tuesday challenge) please share in that challenge thread. No need to share more than once for the points. But you are welcome to share here as well if you like.
Also please feel free to share the love! Comments are ALWAYS welcome!

kitbop - Happy Birthday to your DH. Love the layout with the strong horizontal lines on page one and then vertical on page 2 and the clusters tying them together. I would count in May unless you did one page in April and one page in May

This LO was made mostly from OLD things I found in my stash while cleaning/reorganizing my scrap room. So old in fact, that I cannot find a release date for it!

This layout is about the last time I went out for brunch before everything was shut down.... it feels like lifetime ago but was actually only 7 weeks ago! It's based on one of the latest PageMaps sketches. I used papers and elements from the 'Project Twenty Sixteen February' kit by Laura Passage, elements from 'Weekend Vibes' by Humble & Create, elements from various Becca Bonneville kits, and from the 'Ritual' kit by The Lilypad Design Team.  |

KikiPea, I love your pages. That old wood is perfect with those flowers, and that Besties page is so bright and cheerful! Is that chevron/zigzag pied an overlay? I plan to pop over to Flickr to leave love for kitbop and AussieMeg before I close off the May challenge thread and post the One Stop Crop.

 I have an album where I keep memories of people who have passed away. The album is “Till We Meet Again”. This is in memory of my Uncle Chet who loved his baseball, especially his home team the Rome Raiders and then the professional team the Milwaukee Brewers. |

Will come back later today to leave some love in this thread. Here is a two pager I put together today. I felt bad b/c the group shots of the girls on another page had my youngest dgd squinting and looking not very happy because of it. So I wanted to showcase her beautiful face here. Their mom has gorgeous eyes, and I love that she has passed those on to the girls. Got to play with my brand new kit, so this made me happy in many different ways!  On Island Time by Gramma Dee, on Flickr POINTS: two pages created & shared (4). Challenges: #1 four photos for Donna challenge (4), #5 bammer (1). #6 pp, diecut & dimensional flowers on each page (6), #7 two fonts (1), #11 fussy cut flowers (2), #17 new kit (2), #18 three pp's per page (1), #23 inked edges (2), #24 bling (2), #33 letter stickers (1). Total: 26. |

Using up more old goodies and mixing them with some new! Used a LO by Cassie Box from Paper Issues as inspiration. 😁
Ot was going to look more similar, until I dropped my rays, and like how they landed. LOL

natscraps, your car wash page is cute. Love that bubble pattern on the background. And I love that all your Disney pages have a unifying kraft basic colour, yet each has its own theme, and not specifically Disney. Love the paw prints and stripes and zoo papers and dinosaurs! All great canvasses for these fun photos. Good luck finishing up your album! teacherlisa, I love your journaling on the zoo LO. Don't forget to claim your points for Challenge #39! Your little boy photos are fun to look at, and again the journaling is priceless. Love the stamped title about freckles, too. It is sweet that you keep a memorial album. Love the baseball pp on your uncle's page, and great tribute to him. KikiPea, your pages are beautiful, as always. What a happy accident that you "dropped your rays!" What a cool page that turned out to be! And I had to smile when I saw the title "Shop til you drop!". joyfulnana, I left love for your pages in the Gallery. It was SO much fun scrapping with you this weekend!

joyfulnana , grammadee , and AussieMeg , there is love for you in the gallery. Beautiful pages! natscraps , I love your car wash page. That background paper with the bokeh?circles look like water spots. Couldn’t be more perfect. ~ I love the background paper you used on the Tree of Life page. It has such a jungly feel. Nice family photos. ~Russell and Dug are my favorites. I love everything about these pages. We are very partial to Pixar Studios in our family! ~The animal prints and big elephant make your pages look very authentic.~ The cute dino paper is excellent for the Triceratops Spin. Your pages make we want to go back to WDW. teacherlisa , I love your zoo page. How nice to live close enough to go often. I hope they are able to be open again soon.~ Your page about Josh is very cool. All the stars and the quote about freckles just make me smile. He is such a cutie. ~ I had to laugh at your journaling on Where the Wild Things Are. We just have one boy, but when a friend would come over, I couldn’t believe the way they interacted. They are so different from girls.~ Your tribute to your Uncle Chet is beautifully written. You have a great way with words. Very tender. KikiPea , I think dropping your rays was a happy accident. They look wonderful together behind your photo. It makes a beautiful cluster and makes the page look more like your beautiful designs. I spent yesterday making four birthday cards and sealed them in the envelopes before I thought to take a photo. They are already on their way in the mail. I hope to work on a page today. I do have one more b-day card to make this week.

Struggled a little with this layout - I wanted to showcase the lyrics but was having trouble pulling the page together - I'm still figuring out how to incorporate digital elements into paper layouts (the background and the title are both digital) especially since I'm working with LibreOffice Writer not a program designed to use digital. But I do like how it came out.  |

Linda, that little song reminds me of Ring Around the Rosies. Thanks for sharing. That's a great page. justjac, where did you find the free printables? I must have missed those while I was sick. I tried a search but that doesn't seem to work on this site.

justjac, you have love in the gallery. This is a card I made for my dear friend who started our Card Club over 10 years ago. She is such a special friend. I found this stamp from Hero Arts on sale at JoAnn's just before everything closed down.  Heat embossed Birthday Card

Wow! I had to take a few days off for other projects, but boy you all kept busy!! natscraps - Love all those Disney pages! Makes me want to go back. Did you stay in the Wilderness Cabin place? We looked At that when we went last year and my son really wanted to stay there. It looks really fun. I am not going to show him your pages or he would really feel like he missed out.  kitbop - Love that Internation Cuisine page! I like how one page is more vertical and one page is more horizontal. jjpeapea - Beautiful nautical cards!! nylene - What a beautiful card for your friend. I have been on the lookout for a big floral stamp like that, that you can just emboss and it is beautiful and done! Who makes that stamp? KikiPea - Shop Til You Drop - Love your lift of Cassie! I see the original in your page, but you did a great job translating it into your own design. Your Hi Carl page may use older supplies, but it has such a fresh new look to it! Bestie - Love this page!! Love the picture and the page with the colors and the cut flowers! AussieMeg - Brunch - I love the layout but I was struck by the thought of having jeans made in a day specifically for you. Interesting. I think that would be awesome to have jeans that fit that well. And then of course, I was distracted by the food. Man,does that place sound yummy!! Your sweet blue Hey You page is the perfect little baby page! Love that photo! And your summertime layout si so bright and pretty and summery! I once saw someone talking about being caught up in scrapbooking and she said, she hopes that she is never caught up and can scrapbook some of her children's baby photos when she is 90. It seems like that is your philosophy too. I love how you go back and forth in time in your scrapbooking. Linda - Great page with the lyrics for the Corona virus song! justjac - Great birthday page with the Basic Grey papers! Perfect! And Your Covid layout with the printables is really good. I need to check out that thread. joyfulnana - That My Tribe layout is a great way to showcase four photos with each photo having its own patterned paper. The Movie Marathon pages is so fun with the movie posters and all the movie embellishment! Love that page! And your coffee page for the sketch is lovely. Makes me want to get coffee and just relax. @tacherlisa - Love the zoo page. You are really good at the reflective journaling!! And I love that freckles quote! And cute page with the stars and all. I giggled at the wrestling page because it is so true, apparently boys are just built that way for wrestling! And what a great page for your Uncle. It looks like he must have been honored at a baseball game. I bet that was a highlight for him! grammadee - Your Island Time page is beautiful and you are right beautiful girls with those lovely eyes!! |
