Wow!! This is such a fun thread...love to see what people are doing. joblackford, that is a lot of cards! I love the "bring on the Merry!" and the greeting that goes inside the cards. It is caring without being too sentimental and gushy. AussieMeg, I love the colors in your LO, and how you blended them-also the "capture" of one moment. Sometimes it is that one moment that matters! gramma, I love all the pattern paper you use on your cards. They are really stunning and very dramatic. grammadee, kudos for putting the kids to work! lol! Then they get to play. I should be doing more snowy LO, I live in MN! I like how you used the blue...that highlights the wintery feel. nylene, your banner and tickets are darling. Can I ask what cartridge that is from? Or is it a cut file? I am rolling with my old cricut still, so no cut files here unfortunately. Love that LO! linda, your outdoor LO are great-you really capture that woodsy, up north kind of feel! Love the animal page! (although as deer recently ate my hostas, I am feeling crabby about deer right now!) Ryann, wedding pics are beautiful! I don't think you used too many hearts, looks perfect! kitbop! All the little trees, so cute and non-traditional colors, but traditional shapes, that is such a fun LO. Here is my share...I made a birthday card for my mom with my new HoneyBee set. I did a scraplift from SecretStamper, (she is amazing) secretstamper.com/  |

nylene , your banner and tickets are darling. Can I ask what cartridge that is from? Or is it a cut file? I am rolling with my old cricut still, so no cut files here unfortunately. Love that LO! Thanks, @kendramage, the banner is a die I got from China. The tickets are from a collection some time ago. They were printed. It may be Pebbles. They were loose in my box, so I'm not sure. If you would like to have me cut you banners, let me know. |

I'm not thrilled with this one - I think mostly because the photos aren't all that good and the colours aren't my favourite to work with. But...it's done.  This one uses an old American Crafts paper  |

@kendramage, I love all those bee images. Is this a card kit, or die set? I will have to check out your link. Your mother's card is amazing! Ryann, that Christmas wedding double pager is so pretty. I love all the tiny little embellishments you have used. The idea of milk and cookies is really fun. I’d love that! Linda, great cat pages. It looks like Smokey has the run of the house and is very loved. I love the cat papers you used.~ Your Thanksgiving pages are great. I love the banners topped with Indian Corn. I think you did a beautiful job on these pages.~ I love the giant snowflakes on your Friends page. That’s a great sentiment card. |

Thank you for the kind comments on Flickr nylene - those dogs are the cutest, aren't they?! And I agree about the stitched die. I can't use it on dimensional or glitter cards, but it's the best thing on the simple one layer cards to decide how to frame the new version and to give it some polish. Sorry I'm behind on looking at your projects this month. I need to sit down and take a good look and see what you've been up to  Thanks Linda I'm getting near the end of my virus diary notebook and assessing whether to continue into a second notebook or do something different. I think I will save the other 2 HS notebooks for future events. I'm excited to close out the last pages but it's also making me consider what I've missed. I still have a lot of post it notes! It looks like you're back into the groove of layouts - must be so satisfying to catch up with 2018! I love the patterned papers you've used, the gaming one especially, and the fun one you chose for the STEM page, even if you're not 100% sure. I'm impressed with your productivity, month after month |

schroema - you're on a roll! Great layouts - I especially love the one with all the circles - that's so eyecatching! joblackford - thank you! It's nice to be back to scrapbooking after my mojo disappeared for a bit. I need to follow your example and do some more pandemic layouts - I think that might be next once I either catch up the college album or decide to set it aside for a bit. I've got lots of ideas but ...

I did stencil kissing on the left side. I used art crayon, watered it down, laid the stencil in the watercolor, then laid the stencil on my paper. It actually stamps it so you see the positive part of the stencil instead of seeing the negative space between the design!  |

These last two layouts are gorgeous KikiPea! Here is a quick layout i put together tonight. The sketches class is really pushing me to think more creatively. This is my first attempt at clusters of circles.  |

A layout for the hexagon challenge. Photos of my niece and I baking. I used a 'Focus on the Good' template by Fiddle-Dee-Dee, and the 'Baked With Love' kit by Meg Designs and Designed by Soco.  |

Prob won't be creating again until at least Thursday. Trying to catch up on comments here. From Page 4: Linda , I love your clean and simple style, yet adding the perfect little extra on each page (the canoe on the Great Outdoors, the cute deer and tracks, the Clue sticker). These pages have more muted colours than you usually use, but I see you slipped in some teal into your Fall LO's. The CAT page jumps out with its bright colours and echoing banners. You document alot of photos using a grid like style, but I like that you offset them and again do something to make each page interesting to look at. What a sweet tribute to Smokey. Those pages are hard to do. On to page 5: Linda , congrats on finishing your 2018 album! See you popped in some bright colours at the end: the blues on Friends page and the teals on Midnight's page (love the quote on that one, BTW). And then you leaped right into the college album! Loving the vibrant colours there. Ryann , the papers for your wedding LO are gorgeous. And I don't think you can overdo the hearts on a wedding LO. KikiPea , your dog bd pages are always fun, and this one does not disappoint! Love all the confetti, but those photos are the highlight. Amazing he will wear that hat! Beautiful Travel page with that very pretty pp and the amazing clustering. And the "stencil kissing" adds just the right background to amp up the depth of the title block. And the autumn snow LO is stunning with all the fall colours and 3-D clusters framing that snowy photo. We had enough snow the second Sunday in October for the kids to make a snowman! @kendramage , your mom's card is beautiful. I want to lift it: so much dimension! I don't have that die set, but I do have something I think I could play around with to get something like that honeycomb effect. Thanks for sharing your pages, schroema . So many photos scrapped. And so many different ways to display them. Love the tilting, the shaped photo, and that four photo grid with one horizontally oriented pic. Great use of patterned papers, too. LOVE that circle background! And that Soccer page: love the photo block, the way you used the diecut circles with that pp. Still have a few more to catch up with on Flickr, but off to combat weeds... |

[mention]ryannmarin [/mention] that’s really lovely! Can you all handle another layout from me? I’m getting caught up on my recent ish pictures that I’ve printed so I’m going to have to sit down to the dreaded task of ordering prints soon.  |

This LO is for a challenge at The Lilypad - we had to use a minimum of three different brushes from three different collections. I used the 'Smiles Here' template and 'Taste of Summer' kit by Lynn Grieveson, as well as brushes and elements from Bella Gypsy and NBK.  |

Ryann I love your use of white space. That’s something I struggle with and your layout draws you right into the photos. AussieMeg Beautiful layout and colors!
