coloradocropper I love your layouts! I especially love the circles on the oh hello page and they way they draw you into the photo. I also like your book layout. Great idea that I might have to borrow!

grammadee- I love the card! I've been wanting that stamp set and you used it beautifully! (I can't wait to use the "oh puck" myself 😂)
coloradocropper- Your pages are nothing short of inspirational. The journaling on the literally page actually made me laugh out loud and your year in books pages have the wheels in my head turning!
(Sorry I didn't tag you, I need to go look up how to do that on this board lol)

lydiae , to tag someone, you just need to type their user name with an @ symbol in front of it. craftymom101, that brothers page is awesome! I love the way you cut down the 6x6 squares to leave a bit of border around them. And I love the way you scattered the buttons and stars and sequins seemingly randomly in 3 different spots, so kind of like loose clusters.

Ugly ugly paper (honestly sometimes I wonder what 7Gypsies was thinking, what ARE those circles???) turned into valentines. Hurray! More of the ugly paper stash used up!   |

Catching up! I will leave comments on Flickr if you are using it. coloradoscrapper - your year in books page is OUTTA THIS WORLD! I love those die cuts, and your work in printing out the book covers is amazing. The title work alone gets tonnes of love from me! All your pages are stunning (literally. Oh, literally!). Your details of stitching, die cutting, layering, tearing, are all beautifully used. craftymom101 - amazing winter page. I love the layers, the textures in your clusters, the way your title nestles into a cluster, and the strip journaling is perfect in clean-look and readability. KikiPea - how you decorated that tree is the main attention getter, it's amazing. But the background is so perfect, lots of texture and interest without overwhelming. vexedangel - those cards have a wonderful rich cozy feel to them because of the matting you did. Beautiful cards! And the crochet layout, your embellies are so wonderfully chosen, the colourful pp in the background doesn't overwhelm, it's perfect. jjpeapea - sooo cute! I love mini things like this, just want to collect them, have to be careful to use them  jcm28 - looks like you've got the system down  I love the layouts, especially the fun gators and way you put the date next to "gatorland", and the circle die cuts on the christmas page jeremysgirl - such bright enjoyable layouts. I love how you kept the christmas pages "open" despite using definite christmas pps/shapes. Great layering with the vicky b. The diagonal tilt with your balcony photo is so awesome to highlight the photo! I am trying to think of new things to say, but kitbop said it all so well! Everyone's work is amazing...I love this thread, it is so inspiring! |

@kendramage,you made that paper work for you, even if you didn't like it to begin with. Good job! I like the focal image of the hands forming a heart. Another great LO, vexedangel! Fun photos, awesome use of Disney papers, and that large cluster with the title is "the BEST!" |

@kendramage - to me, those circles look like tags - the black dot would be the hole for thread??? But your cards look amazing, the hand-heart icon is just perfect and the bright white pops! vexedangel - I love that you kept the photos in a square/grid type orientation, I can easily scan through them. And I love how you used colour in bands, it's a bright colourful layout but feels so organized! craftymom101 - the distressed background is so perfect with the shots of colour to clearly be a masculine layout, and yet you used the delicate floral which is so perfect, I feel like it adds to the "family/together" message of the page! |

WARNING! Sharing my annual calendar - I make this for my MIL every year. She displays all my previous calendars in her house, and flips them ALL every month. She has at least 12 years worth... It started with the BG calendar kits. I loved those, so much less brain work involved. When they stopped making those, I thought I'd stop making calendars, but MIL BEGGED for hers. These days, I buy a blank calendar from my LSS and do a layout/month. It's 9x9 ish. This year, I think I did a good job of keeping it more simple, and not thinking of it as one of my own album pages.  calendar 2020 cover page by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 january by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 february by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 march by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 april by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 may by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 june by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 july by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 august by kirstendrew, on Flickr calendar 2020 august by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 october by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 november by kirstendrew, on Flickr  calendar 2020 december by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

kitbop, that calendar is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing. There's love in the Gallery. I spent today assembling cards from the pieces I foiled yesterday. Shared them in the card challenge thread.

I haven't been creating as much but here's one I finished this morning using a non-traditional colour scheme for Christmas photos.  |

Awesome LO, Chinagirl828! There is love in the Gallery. I had read somewhere that those windows were a last minute decision with all the shut downs, but it is nice that the delay in their planning actually made them or nostalgic by bringing back scenes of years gone by, just updated a bit. I love that the elves are masked in the workshop! |

first two layouts of the new year! Sorry about the photo quality - I swear it's not blurry, irl, but taking photos at night on my desk isn't working well.   |

Glad you are getting to be creative while you wait for your new home to be move-in ready, Linda . Love the kitty page. The title made me smile; our cats are never so loving as when their dishes are empty. And you have dogs? The photo blocking with the red really sets off those photos. |

Thanks grammadee - the dogs aren't ours, they belong to friends who are more like family. When I pulled out the paper for the kitty page, it was with two pages of dog paper I had bought for scrapping the handful of dog pics so decided to go ahead and do those also. Here's another - one more to go, I think.  |

The last of the dog PP - and the last of the dog photos also  working with an Authentique October pack from TM - DH bought it for me...it's pretty but a bit of a stretch for me to actually USE. Everything except the pumpkin sticker is from it - the sticker is EP  and another with that pack  |

Great job using up all your papers, Linda ! Love seeing you creating again, getting all those photos on a page; adding just the perfect little touches to make each page unique. It felt like pulling hen's teeth, as my mother used to say, putting this LO together today. I enjoyed the chatting in the on line crop, but every decision I made about these two pages seemed to be an effort. And I had the house pieces pre diecut and a clear idea of what to do with the photos. It was the rest of it that was so elusive. But it is DONE. And I don't hate it. So victory!
POINTS: two pages created & shared (4). R-3 three photos (3), P-4 four patterns (4), P-7 two colours of Nuvo drops (2), P-8 four scraps (4), P-10 eleven stickers (11), S/I-3 gingerbread trees (2), T-1 torn edges (2), T-3 die cuts (2), T-4 three fussy cut images (3), Th-4 Christmas (2), N/S-3 5x7 photo (1). Total: 41.

This is my LO for Sketchy Saturday January 2.  I used the 'Warm Wishes' kit by Kim B Designs, stitched stars by Aziko Designs, paint brushes by Sahin Designs, metallic paint and epoxy styles by Mommyish, frame by Cathy K Designs, magic lights by NBK Designs, scallop by Lindsay Jane. Love interpretation of the sketch! I wonder if I can get my sewing machine to do smooth loop de loops? Love the tropical Christmas vibe! |

This is a layout about what I've been watching lately. I just realised that I forgot to add a date to it - it's from December. I used the 'Binge Watcher' kit by Laura Passage.  What a fun layout! You worked that TV kit well! |

AussieMeg and grammadee I love your takes on that sketch! I love sketches because they turn out so different with everyone's creative vision. Here's my take on the same sketch. That is my dad dressed as Santa and the kids call him Papa.  Love your take on the sketch! Gonna scraplift your title. We call my FIL Pampa and I have pics of him dressed as Santa. Perfect!!! And that belt buckle at the bottom is way too cute! |

I was busy yesterday. I managed to scrap four layouts in total. This first one is my take on the latest sketchy Saturday sketch. The rest are just my own doing.    Your layouts are awesome! You had a very productive day! |

My page for today. Used yesterday's Sketchy Saturday challenge, and attempted to lift a tree from one of KikiPea 's December pages:  Oh that reindeer with the glasses is just so cute! Did you watercolor him? Super idea with fringeing your tree branches! |

Here are three more! Overall I had a pretty productive weekend. All of these layouts were based on older sketchy Saturday layouts. And all are in the gallery.    Another great batch of layouts. Makes me long for summer after our weekend of snow here in Colorado! |

I love the layouts, especially the fun gators and way you put the date next to "gatorland", and the circle die cuts on the christmas page
