grammadee Way to make your challenges work for you!  I LOVE the triangle design and the incorporation of your theme without the use of a school collection. Seems to really fit the situation of school, but not at school! Your birthday card is adorable! Kudos for using your stash - flocking is not something I've seen in a while but really makes your doggo POP off the card! KikiPea Love your stash-busting ways! Your butterfly floral explosion is beautiful. The gold edging is a delicate touch and really very striking! LOL I did a floral wreath layout for my Sketchtember #1 sketch, too! GMTA, hah! I love the hand drawn flight trails - a really sweet touch. Linda Really pretty color combo and who doesn't love a good list!  Are you creating a whole album of "about me"? LOL I just got down to your second list photo - this is really fun! I like that you are switching it up from page to page, new colors and patterns! Very fun!! CoffeeCrafter Lovely cards, Melissa! I really love the look of using colored ink to stamp open line images. It's such a subtle thing but really eye-catching results. And WOW! Your colored image is really striking - beautiful colors that pop off the page. I'm sure this will be lovely in your kitchen!

CoffeeCrafter, your slimline cards are beautiful! I love the contrast between the bright stripes and the focal panel. Great colouring on your framed piece. For something like this, I would count it like OTHER CRAFTS, by the hour you spent colouring. I don't know how you will frame this, but if you end up painting or otherwise altering the frame, you can claim hours for that, too.

I like that you are switching it up from page to page, new colors and patterns! Very fun!! Thank you. There's a class out there for 30 lists in September. I didn't purchase it but they have a list of prompts from years ago on their site and I figured I would give it a try and do a small album this month with a list/day. Hopfully I can keep it up. It's a good excuse to use some papers I like but haven't managed to actually USE - expect to see lots of pinks and purples since I have a surplus and neither of my girls is very girly. |

I can't really share these in the traditional fashion without ruining the surprise, but I created all 16 cards I will need for this year's 2Peas Birthday Club. This side view is the best I can do. Unlike the norm, there are also no details on my blog. LOL  |

Quick question on the slimline cards, how do I count those on easy peasy? The dimensions are 3.5 x 8.5". I counted them as an under 5x7" project (10 pts) since the square inches of the slimline card is smaller than the square inches of a 5x7" card despite the fact one of the dimensions is larger. Would that be correct? |

Here ya go. It's us! Thanks for the idea Grammadee There were a few more Peas from the virtual crops who I wanted to include, but I didn't have photos. You're in there in spirit, I promise! I'm really grateful that we've been able to spend some time together making pretty things! And thank you to the person who drew the bucket and put it online for me to find  I love this so much! Awesome page design! |

Wow! I barely keep up with the birthday club cards, month by month! I'm one of those weird personality types who doesn't like leaving things to the last minute. I've even got all my envelopes addressed and stamped with reminders set up in my calendar for when each needs to be mailed. |

you guys! page 2 and it's only the 2nd?! I'll never stay caught up like that lol. CoffeeCrafter that box is adorable and I'm ready for Autumn too! It's been a bit fall like here the past couple of days and I love it. It's my favorite season. The cards with the slimline dies are so pretty and I love the sentiment. Wow,your coloring is fabulous! That flower is awesome! I would count it as an 8x8 lo if it were me counting the points grammadee I have several (more than three!) of the SG sketchbooks. They are my goto sketches. There's love in the gallery. Linda I really love what you are doing with the 30 days of lists. I'm getting Shimelle's LSNED prompts but haven't figure out what I want to do, I may lift what you're doing. It's perfect! Great job on lifting justjac ! I love the colors, and also that the story didn't turn out "stinky" lol. KikiPea Wow wow wow!! All those flowers and the clusters are gorgeous. I really like what you did with the wreath! |

I would count it as an 8x8 lo if it were me counting the points Thanks to putting in a major order with Stampin' Up, I already have crazy stupid high points considering it's only the second day of the month. 🙄 I'm OK with taking the 20 points for two hours of other crafting. I actually got 15 more points on it for creating a frame and getting it finished. 😂  |

Love your frame CoffeeCrafter! BTW, you can't earn points for $$$ spent if no one posts a challenge in September to spend money. HINT: Maybe YOU could post that challenge... |

used the September 2020 Sheetload of cards but used scraps instead of full sheets to make them. I'll use them for this week's round of letters.  |

CoffeeCrafter, I finally had the chance to dive into your blog. I absolutely love your Sending Sunshine card. And I was thinking that your Rainbow Birthday Gifts cards would be great for the holidays if you switched the colors up. Lots of really cute ideas there!

Linda, those slimline cards are cool! Don't forget to claim points for the challenge on the Card Making board. (Although I don't think you will be scrambling to dig up points this month...)

grammadee - thanks for the reminder. Sadly even though I've been counting up challenge points, I still seem to be better off counting easy peasy. Eventually something I make will earn more points with the challenges... But it won't be this layout - lists day 3

Here's my card for today. The sentiment seems especially apropos given our weather forecast this weekend is calling for highs of around 110ºF/43ºC. 🥵 Despite being three days into September, there's no sign of Fall arriving here anytime soon. Full details for this card can be found on my blog.  |

Normally I'm just going to share the Sketchtember layouts on sketch threads but I'm pretty stinking proud of this one so I'm sharing it here also. The elements are coronaviruses and the photo is a meme I downloaded. This gave my Cricut quite the workout and I discovered that I don't have the right adhesives for skinny things and that the cricut doesn't cut small details perfectly (or if it does - I'm not good enough at it to achieve that). So here's Sketchtember #3 - right side  |

Love your sheetload of cards, azcrafty. The pop of white on the muted Halloween pp's is really striking. |
