... PaperAngel very nice layout. So summery it make me long for those days. Something to look forward to. Please note that I’m not the creator of the beautiful Dog Daze layout. kitbop shared it (& a couple more of her layouts) near the bottom of page 2 in this thread. I quoted it to inquire about the fun ring/bubble die she used on the layout! |

kitbop - May I ask the brand/name/source of the die? TIA. This die gets SO much love from me and if you can find it I heartily endorse it  It's memory box "large ringlets" style 98790 (actually, Simon Says Stamp still has them, I'm shocked! Mine is over 10 years old!) azcrafty - WOW, your cards are LUSH. Your use of the lacey dies is joyful and intricate but doesn't feel at all frilly. jjpeapea - that elephant is so  |

So I finally took the time to photograph and get things posted in the gallery. Wahoo!
First off this page is the companion page to one on my blog that I made yikes in Feb of 2018. Lucky for me I have my handy notebooks to remind me exactly what I used, so it was easy to make it matchy, matchy!
I worked on these during the crop times yesterday and today: For the boys it was SPL
Then to some Christmas themed ones: This one for DSD
Using paper that matched clothing and I had only one set:
One for DS's Christmas program many years ago, yes I am way behind!
Photos from the first year DS wrestled in club wrestling in 2010. What is fun about these photos is we got to watch these kids grow up through wrestling. Some of the same young men wrestled all the way through to HS with DS.
Another page for DS's Senior Year wrestling album, only 5 more layouts to go and I will be done!
THIS IS A PAGE KIT from Quick Quotes, I only added photos! 
Since this retreat was so much fun and I wanted a companion page to the digital one they handed out of Elvis here is the layout:

vexedangel - WOW! I would never attempts a box card like that, it's spectacular. angel97701 - those muted colours are so so beautiful. I LOVE that texture - I assume it's an embossing folder (on the dusty blue and cream papers?). Your layouts are all wonderful of course! You've been on a really productive streak! I love how you changed the 2 page layout to SPLs with the appropriate photos for your boys ! And your wrestling layouts are fabulous examples of sports pages. Love the "family" page, so pretty with the wood background and lacey details. I've been plugging away at 28-4-28 prompts - these cover pockets, sketch, summer palate/winter photos. Also, gramma sent me a RAK of WONDERFUL camping/lakeside papers and stickers, and the fishing layout is 100% made of things from that.  layout gone fishin by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout merry magic by kirstendrew, on Flickr

Not going to take it apart now, but I really should have typed a birthday greeting in a text message on my phone, then screen shotted it so it would show up behind the "screen". |

Just popping in to say hi and celebrate all the great projects here! If some of you didn't know, I lost my mom recently and have been dealing with that. So it was good medicine to stop by this thread today and see all of your creativity I have missed this month.  Keep up the great work all! I did do this page a few weeks ago, and love the pockets at the top right.  Seal Beach Joy LO by Kelly Roberts, on Flickr |

kellyr21 - ongoing thoughts and hugs coming your way! I hope your creativity resparks for you soon and helps you heal through this awful time. Your page is gorgeous; I love all the textures. Here is mine for today. The 28-4-28 prompts, plus my newly organized scrap area, are really helping.  layout attendees by kirstendrew, on Flickr

I'm sharing this layout I did for my son and DIL, who lost their baby at week 19 of her pregnancy last week. We had been taking photos each month, and would have done month 4 this weekend as well as learned the sex of the baby. She wants to try to get the early ultrasound photos from the doctor and have me do a layout for their wall. Taki was the name my granddaughter had called the baby. It would not have been the name.  |

Oh, myboysnme. That is so sad. After about 12 weeks, you begin to believe that this pregnancy will carry on to term. Lovely page. I am glad they want to memorialize this little one. Your journaling says it all. |

I made some donation cards with stuff I had lying around. I glued down a LOT of patterned paper panels the other day, trying to get a jumpstart on using up some older supplies. Now I'm trying to finish off a set each day. These were an idea I had today when I started tidying up some random scavenged ribbons and twine I hadn't put away. Thanks to the organizing thread and angel97701 - I used a few scraps and the sentiments were in my die cut binder, a happy birthday stamp I was going to declutter. I used up about half of the ribbon I was going to put away.  Feb share by jo.blackford, on Flickr These ones I made yesterday. The paper is from a Doodlebug seasons pack, it didn't seem like one I would use for anything worthwhile but it made for a nice set of cards to send to seniors. I tried out my new coco & reno doily dies to layer with the circle sentiments. I think they work quite nicely. I didn't think to use them on the sentiment pieces until the last one.

I have shared both these pages separately in the 28-4-28 challenges #22 and #26, but I thought I would share them here as the facing pages they are:  Gotta Love Right Now by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

DH and I decided we wanted to send some thank you notes to DS's teachers for all their effort last semester. I used school colors, Darice small dots, and Trimcraft Black and White, plus a Studio G stamp that I die cut on my Brother Scan N Cut. I the scraps to make four more cards for a total of 16! Just happened to be the right size although the strips go in opposite directions.

joblackford- Thank you! I like all the cards you made. The gift is a great idea as the theme of those cute cards. The smile cards are so simple and beautiful! I love that you are sending them to seniors. azcrafty- Wow! I love those cards. The ones with the girls are terrific. Great idea to used premade cards and dress them up. Great job! angel97701- What a thoughtful idea to send cards to your ds's teachers. I know they will love these pretty cards. Nice work! vexedangel- Thank you!

Last month, I took Heidi Swapp's "Surprise Inside" class and made this multilayered pocket card. I love how it turned out. In this week's YT video I shared how I made the outer pocket, how I embellished and the final look. So fun to make. Hope you will check out my video.

I found the two Grinch die cuts several years ago at an Expo. I just had them saved for the right layout. We went to visit one of my sons before Christmas and my husband pulls out a Christmas gift in a bag and says is is for all of us. It was this awesome Grinch sweatshirt he found online. For the day we were all together, it was the rule that if you were Grinchy to someone else or were saying something negative, you had to wear the sweatshirt. Man, did that sweatshirt make the rounds. Everyone was a good sport about it and we all had it on several times that day. I knew the second my son pulled the sweatshirt out of the bag that this was the perfect photo/layout opportunity to use those die cuts. The other images I found online. It's a little busy, but so is the sweatshirt. It just makes me smile.  |

joblackford very nice cards. I like how you used the doily dies for your sentiments. How do you like the dies so far? I haven't given them much of a try yet but they worked well for this, and this was more of a "bonus" use for them. I'm going to have fun cutting a bunch of colors soon. |
