Taking a bit of time as the quiche bakes in the oven to start leaving some love. I don't have my adhesive yet (left NY on June 27 so hoping it comes here soon!) but I'll use my free scrappy time until then to keep up with the Team Players' projects!

'Basketball' Love all the linear elements in this LO: gives the illusion of an actual basketball court! Those two contrasting pops of red and orange placed diagonally tie everything together and add just an element of visual surprise, very nice.
You did great adding strips of different papers behind the photos to create a faux matting effect of varying colours, too. It's a neat little twist on the regular mats! The subtle greens to match the pics really let the actual memories shine. Great job!
'Tornado Watch' I had to laugh at this set of photos... The annoyed kiddo with the tongue out, the toilet seat being converted into an actual seat, the kitten napping. What a fun way to remember a less fun event. I appreciate that you let the (many!) photos tell the story and tried to find matching colours that wouldn't compete. That muted teal and dark purple-ish navy are a gorgeous combination and reminded me of the tornado sceneries from TV with the threatening skies looming over dark fields. Great little nudge there!
'Good Times' Talk about find the perfect pattern paper! I love your use of primary colours here with the soft yellow, light blue and just a pop of red for the title. You did such a neat job recreating the Trivial Pursuit board by stacking your photos that way, just like a board game "path". The photo of your #happydance moment is adorable and such a great shot to capture family fun.
'Fly' I see what you did here! Gorgeous window recreation to hold all the paper planes like there were dozens of them flying outside... Very cute little trick to make a statement centre to frame your photo into. I love how the different shades of blue of the cardstock and pattern paper complement the orange tones in your photo perfectly: just the right amount of colour balance for a subject all about aerodynamics and balance!
'Quarantine Project' Pink and blue contrast, yay! Always works so well... I love how you offset the smaller amount of pink by going for a brighter shade (or vice versa
). Those delicate touches like the photo corners and heart are such a cute way of adding an extra feminine touch to this page. I love the distressed polka dots in the background and how to play against the linear shapes of the scarf. It's always about finding subtle balance with you and I really appreciate that! Here's to hoping the glitter paper doesn't reject the adhesive down the road.

'Birthday Gatefold Card' Bwahaha, what a fun card! I kept scrolling to find out what was next... I love the play on alternating aesthetics between the white background and hay pattern paper, the strips of caution tape (and words!) and round elements like the balloons and scalloped edges, the bright colours and the yellow + brown tones. It kept my eyes engaged and searching! The stamped cow heads are a wonderful touch of whimsy. You picked great colours for them. Wish we could see them wobbling! It's just a wonderful card...

'Missing You Cards' Oh my, these are so pretty! I can already imagine myself sitting on that beautiful chair, sipping on some lemonade, with a big floppy hat protecting me from the sun... I love your beautiful shading work to create those clouds. The blue and green sections look amazing with the bright contrast of the white chairs on top of them. Very picturesque and dreamy! The recipients will adore these. Hoping for real hugs safely for all soon!
'Mower Birthday Card' Loved reading the story behind this card and how you're celebrating him by making such a lovely memory the core of your card. Another amazing cloud creation job (you are doing them so, so well!). I love the contrast between the red, green, blue and white on this one. The mower really stands out against the background you designed. The hearted phrase strips to create the sentiment look like floating messages of love being sent his way and I find it all so very poetic. Well done!
