schroema - love that adorable Pooh cake! Both sketch versions are awesome - and different enough that if you hadn't said otherwise, I wouldn't have guessed they were the same sketch. Great colour choices AussieMeg - beautiful photos and that mixed media background is fabulous

I had a busy day yesterday. Will have to come back and leave some love for page TWO. I split my dgd's album into two. Duhhh... it was over 350 copied pages. So yesterday I needed to create a cover page for the second book.  cover page book 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Should have used something smoother to apply the transfer gel (used a stencil brush so it would apply thinly and dry quickly--if it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done around here  . And should have let it dry longer before foiling. But fortunately I have diecuts and scraps I can cut into circles or tear to size, so I think I covered most of the Ooops! areas. Both albums are now safely on their way to the grad with her dad. |

nylene - absolutely adorable happy little car diecut! teacherlisa - love your journalling- so sorry about the testing. My sister and BIL run a nursing home and for a while they were doing weekly testing - no fun

All from an EP kit - cut the birthday sticker - it originally said Birthday Dude so I edited it.   |

This LO is for a style challenge at The Lilypad. The challenge was to use a big title. The journaling is about how I was finally able to go and see my mum after COVID restrictions were lifted in May. When I started this LO on Tuesday morning, I was looking forward to going to see my mum again in three weeks for her birthday. And now on Wednesday morning we are back in lockdown for 6 weeks so I won't be able to see mum after all. I should have added the word "Temporary" to my "Freedom" title!  I used a 'Springboard No. 3' template and the 'Blue Skies Ahead' kit, both by Lynn Grieveson. |

What gorgeous views in that layout AussieMeg - so glad that you were able to see your mum - sorry it was a temporary reprieve. I love that the photos steal the show but you still sneaked in some fun embellishments |

 So this one finishes up May 2020 until my photo order arrives with the photos for the three layouts I forgot to print photos for. Progress |

Linda, LOL, the compost faery. I love the story and that cute robot paper.~ I love that little mouse on Oreo. What a cute name for your black and white kitty.~It looks like your cat is thinking “where’s MY food?”~I’m glad your DD was able to be awarded her honors even if it was virtually. That’s such a great school design. It looks like a yearbook page.~Love your Pres. Bush quote and your story about your DD’s running. Great pages.~I have to laugh at the tongue sticking out since you are photographing her. My married girls will sometimes do that. Silly girls! ~ Cute Birthday layout. Isn’t it fun to alter stickers and cards to fit what we are scrapping. Lots of fun photos here. ~Nice final May page. I hope your photos arrive soon. schroema, that is the cutest cake! I think $35 was a “steal” for that. Great page and story. That’s a great way to use the sketch on Do U C a move? I love the photos lined up along the bottom. Nice look. teacherlisa, I love your choice for license plate. That’s also a great story to SKRAP. ~ I’m glad you were able to meet and eat a meal that reminds you all of past days. I love the way the borders match your ties on the tags. Nicely scrapped.~ I’m sorry for the long testing lines. I have heard that it’s not a fun test. That’s a perfect photo to document this crazy time. I think I caught the rest in the gallery. Lots of great work already for just the first week!

Thank you nylene - Three of our five kitties are black and white - Oreo is the oldest, then Little Friend (named by DD13 when she was three and LF showed up as a pregnant stray in our yard), and Mini (named for his resemblance to his mum, Little Friend) - the other two are black (Midnight) and a brown tabby (Tabby). Just a journalling page to finish out June now the Persnickety timeline was released.  And April's Pandemic page - just need to journal March and I'll be caught up on the monthly timeline pages  |

Thanks all- my daughter had a lot of fun making that cake with her friend for their cooking club. They were pretty excited about making $35! Linda I need to check into the Covid timelines you are using. |

I had this idea in my head after watching multitudes of Vicki Boutin mixed media FB Lives and videos. I decided to try it today and see what would happen. It took me a minute to find the right photo for it. I don’t have any of Vicki’s Foundations paper, so I used the backside of a paper from her premade mixed media paper pad. It’s a combination of distress oxides and art crayons and the white part is CreativeFX. I also spritzed water, a few water droplets and used water with a stencil brush through the wave stencil.  Soooooooooo, FB link works, but holy COW it's huge!!! Would I have to resize it before uploading it??? |

So, it seems that somehow I am no longer a member of the Flickr group. I did join a few years back, and uploaded LO's there, but it prompted me to join again. Anyway, I'll get it figured out at some point. I wish iy was as easy to upload from Flickr as it is from IG and FB, but I'm not willing to make my accounts public. I don't know about IG but my FB account is locked pretty tight and the album I post my layouts in is set to "only me" but they share here just fine - I open the picture on FB, right click and copy image location and then click the picture icon here and paste the address. |

This LO is for a Kim Jensen designer challenge at The Lilypad. The challenge was a recipe including using at least three fasteners, one of which had to be a Cliptastic clip. I used 'The Rain Is Gone' kit and number clips from the 'Plastic Cliptastic 1' set (both by Kim Jensen) and Rustic Metal styles by Mommyish.  |

Playing around with ways to upload photos because the Flickr Gallery is giving me fits. :-P They are HUGE!!! Thank goodness they're huge, because now I can finally see your pages properly!  Please keep posting them this big. OMG, that beach LO where you used distress oxides and art crayons is so flipping amazing!! I love the other three as well, and I have saved them to scrap lift later. Linda I love your COVID journaling pages. I really wish that I'd been journaling more about the pandemic. But most of my pages would be "Still working from home and loving it!" |

I’d love you see your scraplifts! So flattered. 🥰 |
