Welcome, scrappyrabbit . Your pages are wonderful: colourful and fun!
I don't know how to link from sources other than Flickr. But I think someone like Linda or joblackford could give you some help there.  |

I decided over the weekend to start a new weekly series on my blog called Merry Monday. Each Monday between today and Christmas week, I'll be sharing a holiday card. Here is the card I created and posted today. As always, full details are on the blog.  |

Hi! I’m new here! Here are some of my recent layouts. imgur.com/a/5g6owIIedit to say I’m im not sure how you all post the photos? I just used imgur Hi there, and welcome! Generally speaking you can use the “insert image” button in the reply window to link to the image address. I can’t test it on my iPad tonight, but if you can right click on each of your images and copy the image URL/address you can paste it into the “insert image” (little picture box) up above and it should insert the photo so we can see it here. I haven’t used imgur but that method works for most photos that are hosted on the web. |

This is a kit I purchased a long, long time ago. I'm determined to reduce my kit stash!  IMG_4869 by CLAUDIA LOVELESS, on Flickr |

Another kit - a new one (shaking head in shame) But when my grand-daughter took these pictures of her daughter, how could I resist?  IMG_4867 by CLAUDIA LOVELESS, on Flickr |

Here are two LO's I finished this morning from kits I put together over the weekend while listening to th eon line classes. This first one is a lift of AussieMeg 's take on a Sketchtember challenge from LAST year. I loved the grungy look of her background, so I dug out some tire tracks and splatter stencils and some black paint. Got the wet work done yesterday evening. So all I had to do today was slap on the photos and other bits:  Another Summer Adventure by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Full disclosure: the spot that looks like a really cool photo of setting sun through the trees is really the glare of a lamp on the page as I was photographing it. When I looked at the photo of the page, I decided to keep it in: about as close to digi as I can manage LOL. The idea for this one hit while I was looking for papers for another project and found these really old (2009) Fancy Pants papers and realized I had some pic's of the kids playing Chinese Checkers and cribbage:
POINTS: four pages created & shared (8). #1 for Donna challenge four pages (20) and ten photos scrapped (10), #3 eight triangles on first lO; eight stars on second LO (2), #4 pic's from August 2020 (8), #6 <3 manufacturers per page (8), #9 <25 words journaling per LO (2), #13 & 14 (8), #18 Old fp and new Carta Bella and SS (2), #24 I am smiling (4), #29 used kits on all pages (4), #33 lots of ink and paint (2), #34 on first LO puffy letter stickers (1), on second LO flat card icons and clock sticker (1), cs star stickers on each page (2), #35 clock sticker (1), #40 grampa & the girls on two pages (4), #41 outside photos on three pages (3), #42 game playing (2), #43 banners/flags (2), #53 diecutting (1). Total: 95.

Got the idea for this design from a LO done by Lindsey Heilman on that she did for a camp challenge called Take a Breath on Paper Issues. I did the ink using foil and a smooshing technique that Shimelle used today on her Monday Live.  |

KikiPea, your Fall pages are always so beautiful. I love the layering on this layout. Such beautiful patterns and colors. Your clusters are extraordinary. You need to teach classes in clusters. These are our 2 youngest DD's. They have always been such straight arrows, always being rule-followers, never wanting to be in the limelight or standing out in a crowd. When they decided to turn their hair funny colors, we just had to laugh. We tease them that they are too old to start their teenage rebellion now! I love to see them have fun together.

My card for today was inspired by a friend in NY posting a photo of his first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season. Given our high today was 95ºF/35ºC here, it's going to be quite a while before I'm ready for my first PSL.  As always, full details about this card can be found on my blog.  |

I’ve been doing some tidying up. I had seen other people finish off their stickers by making all possible words that could be made with the leftovers so they could throw away the remains guilt free, knowing they did their best to use them up. I didn’t think that would work for me, and it did take a while to get into the groove, but I did these sticker sheets which were almost out of vowels.  Aug organization by jo.blackford, on Flickr I had 4 sheets of the black sketchy ones and although I like them I’m not sure I will buy more (or even if they still make them). And I know the red ones were a one-off. So I made short words without A or E. The black ones yielded even more than in the photo, but once I had made the words I actually found lots of spots to add them in my virus diaries (little words like no and nz and ugh!) and I used some little >> things and some quote marks too. So the concept does work! I used zeros as Os turned a few things upside down - u and n - but didn’t do much surgical alteration. I kept some alternates so I could do FAQ or FAB(ulous) instead of FAD. And Z is for zoom... I kept the V to use as a pointer > and the Xs to cross things out. It helped to imagine they’d be used in either Xmas or virus pages so I could think of what words I might want. I also sorted through my black and white scraps, which seem to have been breeding, and found some bits that were already die cut. They were the insides of some frames. So I decided to stamp them so they would be more likely to get used up. I found a stamp that fit really well and now all I need to do is stick these onto a quick patterned background to make a donation card (or 12).  Aug organization by jo.blackford, on Flickr I’m going to die cut and/or stamp a bunch more scraps. I do reach into the bin regularly to grab a little piece for a sentiment, but it barely makes a dent in the pile. |

This LO is for a journaling challenge at The Lilypad. The challenge was to journal about something that makes us happy. I used a 'Next Saturday' template by Fiddle-Dee-Dee, and the 'Rituals' collaboration kit by The Lilypad design team.  |

I didn't shy away from documenting COVID in my album this year, and it was actually fun to do pages about things I wouldn't normally scrap, such as pizza night. Once I get my layouts photographed, I will post in the Pandemic thread. I love seeing everyone's layouts on here, you are all so talented! |

Need to get caught up on leaving love. scrappyrabbit, I love all your pages. The are fun to look at--love how you use colours and angles--and they tell great stories with the perfect photos to illustrate. Hoping we are going to see a LOT more of your creations! CoffeeCrafter, your cards are delightful! I love how you use the image and sentiment stamps. Looking forward to more Merry Mondays. That Christmas Cheer card is so joyful. I love how the background looks like a quilt. And the Cup of Thanks card has captured that chilly fall feeling. I love how you shaded that cup as if I could just grab it off the screen and take a sip of what is in it. I think I need to go to your blog before I even START making my cards... And OMG, KikiPea! That page just SCREAMS happiness! The colours, the torn layers, the spritzing exploding from under the photo cluster! Love it! Heading over to Flickr now to catch the rest. You will be hearing from me there, gramma, joblackford, joyfulnana, @aussimeg... |

And here is my LO for the day. Felt like I was fighting with the papers and the photos to force them into this design. Don't know if that ever happens to you? I almost threw it back into the bag with the rest of the page kit when I discoverd that BoBunny Faith pp from a few years ago.

Pretty card, CoffeeCrafter. Stampin Up makes such beautiful designer papers. Great job coloring the mug. The gallery is acting up for me. I tried to post comments and got a message that they couldn't post it. When I went back in to try again, the comments were there. I think I will wait a while and try to comment on all the pages above. |

This LO is for a template challenge at The Lilypad. I don't love it, but I am running out of time to complete my challenges and get my 30% discount coupon, so it will have to do! Template by Scrapping With Liz, papers and elements from the 'Roots' collab kit and 'Yesterday' by Becca Bonneville, styles by Mommyish.  |

Here are my LO's for today. The first was based on the Aug 1st Sketchy Saturday challenge. At least I STARTED there...  Good things come to those who bake by Gramma Dee, on Flickr This second one went together pretty quickly, using a bunch of papers and supplies from my "little boy" bin to scrap two of my grand DAUGHTERS... I was really worried they would be bored at the farm, but these girls were excited to take on all the things they had played at years ago, plus some new adventures. I forgot they were MY grandkids! I used to tell their father that I was NEVER bored cuz I always had work to do, and if HE was bored, he was welcome to join me! I think that message has been passed on to ALL my grandkids 
POINTS: four pages created & shared (8). #1 Sketchy Saturday (1) and four pages (20) & sixteen photos (16) for Donna challenge, #3 eight photos on each of the LO's (2), #4 all photos from this summer (4), two pages from August (2), #5 mix & match on all pages (4), #9 <25 words in journaling (2), #13 & 14 (8), #16 bright colours on second (2), #17 summer 2020 (4), #18 old & new products on all (4), #22 PL cards (2), #24 smiles (4), #29 all from my own page kits (4), #31 fussy cut the star 2nd LO (1), #32 torn edges (2), #33 inked edges (4), #34 foam stickers (1), flat phrase stickers (2), foiled icon stickers (1), cb hearts (2), #40 two generations on one page (2), #41 outdoors on two pages (2), #42 playing games (2), #43 banners (2), #47 arrows (1), #52 cameras (3), #53 camera and heart punches, circle die (4).

My card today is the result of playing a "Mystery Card" challenge with a group of friends. We were just provided with a list of supplies to gather without having any idea what the finished card would look like. We were then provided a series of clues for assembling the card. It was so much fun!! I actually love how my card turned out which is just an added bonus. LOL As always, full details are on my blog.  |

I made a quick card for my 11yo nephew’s birthday today. Inside says “of you”  Aug 11yo card by jo.blackford, on Flickr I might try different alpha stamps to see if a smaller font would look better. I also got a new desk so I will probably be spending some time organizing this weekend. |
