So many great pages on here! KikiPea - I am loving your Telluride pages! We visit there occasionally and just love the area! I love the pup in the gondola! The three clusters of embellishments are perfect on the page and just frame the photo so well. And your Colorful Gondola page is great. Love all the colors and yet you still achieve a lot of the mountain vibe. And your Sneeze the Day layout is awesome with the rainbow of colors! Love it! kitbop - I really, really love your Freaky Fishy Flashback page. Overall, it is just so pleasing to the eye! But wow! That is a lot of fish! And also, I love the fish patterned paper and fish flags. Awesome page! AussieMeg - Your Round and Round layout is so fun! Love all the patterns and the bright colors on the round sketch. And those ducks looked like they might just lie to keep that teddy bear! Your Birthday Girl layout too has such a great use of strips of patterns. You make them look so good and not overwhelmed with all the prints. And your poop layout, who knew you would ever make that layout, huh? And you made it look so good too! Linda - You are rocking all the cards! I am so impressed with your productivity! Ryann - 10 Fingers and toes - what a sweet baby and layout! I think you found the perfect combo of papers even without the blue you were looking for. The title letters were a great solution! And I laughed out loud at the Colorful language layout. Perfect!!! Also, as far as my process, I usually make layouts and then just see which points they work for, however, as I read over the challenge list at the beginning of the month I will make a mental note of some things to try to do, either topics or techniques or something that appeal to me for that month and just keep them in mind as I am scrapping. joblackford - Your COVID album is making such great progress! I love how it is a mix of actual events, pictures, news, and memes. And your printing of the NYT front page on vellum is so great! I am intrigued by your thought of the different graphs on vellum and overlapping. And interesting look and give the feel of the overwhelming amount of numbers that e see each day in regard to the virus. sleepingbooty - That is a beautiful gift tag! A treasure along with the gift for sure! gramma - Your Spring layout is so sweet for your sweet girl! Love the blue and pink colors and the flowers and hearts. It all complements her hat and the wonderful pictures! Your September and February pages are such a fun compilation of activities of the month. I have missed knowing how your work these. Do they go in an album or maybe it looks like you clip them up somewhere. I really like this idea! And your mask makers layout is awesome! The cause and all those people on the bottom of the page. Also the title is great! |

lynnek All of the layouts go into albums. The September and February ones are from birth to 18, one pic around the outside for each year. I love having the progression all on one layout.

This is a photo I found stuck between 2 pieces of paper. Since the photo was taken in 1992, it makes me sick to think those papers haven't been looked at for 28 years! No wonder it has taken me days to go through all my paper that needs to be purged.  French QuarterThese cards are scraplifted from kitbop's card from last month. They were fun to make and will be given at Card Club when restrictions lift enough.  |

gramma, those cards are wonderful. I love the way you back the banners with a black shadow . The paper and gears are perfect. KikiPea, your Let’s Go page is really cute. I love the play on words with Wag on. Your clusters are beautiful and classy as always. Love the woodgrain paper too. ~ The gondola page is amazing. That view must be spectacular in person. I love the way you did the Colorful title and your clusters make me envious! ~ Your “Hey, It’s Your Day” and “Sneeze the Day” pages are so pretty. I love the rainbow of colors on each of them. You have such an eye for mixed media and embellishment placement. Lovely pages.~ I love the double page Birthday fun. More beautiful rainbows colors and beautiful clusters. Cute pages to commemorate this special day. Ryann, your 10 fingers & toes layout is precious. The layering of papers behind her photo are very pretty. I love your enamel hearts and tiny embellishments.~ I love the colors on your Colorful Language page. Very comical photo and title. Those hearts are perfect for this page. lynnek, that page is gorgeous. I love how the eye goes right to that photo and the pretty flower she is holding. The white flowers surrounding the photo couldn’t be more perfect. This is fabulous. sleepingbooty, I love your little tag. So many layers of goodness behind the little lamb. I love the white tie too. You have such an artistic eye. This is amazing. Linda, you have been a busy little bee. When you got your mojo back, you really got it! I love your postcards. Great way to use up a 6x6 pad. You know they will be appreciated. I think I caught all who posted in the gallery. joblackford, AussieMeg, gramma, grammadee, azcrafty and kitbop.

nylene is that the hello cut you said you were going to design, similar to the die I use? It looks GREAT! Such pretty cards. Funny that you found that photo hiding in your papers - oops! good thing that you still remembered the story behind it, even if it’s been a little while...

The musician and masks and confetti are perfect! And the scrolls on the photos mat remind me of the iron fences. Beautiful! I didn't know your husband was in the golf business! My husband was just starting out as a golf course pro in 1992. He has since left the business but we both enjoyed his time in the industry. I missed those cards last month and need to go back and check them out. I love your take. I have just gotten into Distress Oxide inks and love using them! I need to make some of these! |

Funny that you found that photo hiding in your papers - oops! good thing that you still remembered the story behind it, even if it’s been a little while... Yes, that is the HELLO I designed for the cards. It's a little harder to get it cut in the perfect spot with the Silhouette rather than a die, but it seemed to work ok. I think I will use it often. |

I used the "Little Lumberjack" paper and stickers here. I bought the line to use scrapping this big scruffy boy of mine, and thought I might as well start here even though we weren't outside or anything. I also successfully used my "red" drawer (a recent reorganization of old and neglected embellishments to colour drawers) to find the epoxy circles by KI memories/Love Elsie, and the unknown "love love love" piece. I LOVE using old stash like that!  layout drewlander by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

These are all awesome, I love this thread. kitbop you wouldn’t believe how much little lumberjack I bought! I think how you used it is amazing. nylene , I think you were working on the New Orleans page last week, or you had just found the pic, it turned out perfect. As you can see, I cram a lot of pics on my pages lol...these were from the Downton Abbey exhibit at Mall of America. I love looking at the digital LO, (so cute AussieMeg!) and thinking how I can turn them into paper LO.   |

Ok, I made this LO from inspiration I saw on a FB scrapbooking group. The first one is mine, the second one was my inspiration, and the third is the original. This LO came to mind as soon as I saw Kathy’s version! I think it turned out pretty cute! i just realized that I covered up most of the mixed media across the bottom. 🤪 All of the paper pieces used were scraps. I did actually make my own mixed media background with Tim Holtz distress oxide and water. A first for me! This is just regular white card stock, so it did buckle a tad. I don’t usually do mixed media like this, but if I did, I would have the Vicki Boutin Foundations paper which is perfect for watercolor, and wet mediums. Here’s mine larger, so you can see it better.   |

I was having a creative block trying to use Christmas photos, so I decided to put them aside and scrap whatever photos I wanted. I printed a couple Halloween photos and then had problems trying to find Halloween paper that worked with the red and yellow costume. I got there eventually!  |

Not sure what happened, but I thought I had left some love on this thread... Hmmm... Of course today I also drove into town and left my purse on the kitchen table at home, so... @kendramage, your Downton Abbey pages are really fun. Love all the little touches. What fun to play dress-up with those props! lynnek, I love your pages. Covid hair: too funny! love the way you did the title. And your ballet page is gorgeous. So vintage and elegant... That little nephew is so stinkin' CUTE, KikiPea! That first page with the splatters coming down from that top cluster is amazing! SOOO little BOY! And that FACE on the 9 months photo! Perfect title and your layering is super. Aren't you the cutest Minnie, Ryann! That happens to me alot when I am trying to follow a sketch or meet a specific challenge or theme, and then I think, hey, why not go back to basics and just let the photos lead me... Awesome page with the papers you chose! |

What a funny story. joblackford Awesome idea of printing on vellum. It looks really sharp with the overplayed graphics. KikiPea It looks like you've been having fun celebrating your birthday! Super fun and creative pages! I love your messy mixed media layout. So many textures and colors to look at! Your nephew is SO adorable!! nylene A very festive N'awlins layout.

I made a birthday card, gift card holder/ picture frame and recycled a box to put some presents in it. I just purchased this Pebbles PP from TM about 2 weeks ago it goes perfectly with my SU Bonanza Buddies. I stepped out of my comfort zone with this project. Cutesy usually is not my style , but my crafty friend W loves it so i thought this is the perfect time to try something new. I hope she'll like it.
