Linda, you have been ON FIRE! One hundred pages? Amazing! That last one is really fun with the gnomes and birthday elements. I like the photos you selected for the November pages, and how you use the narrow mats to set them apart and above the rest of the page.

And that gorgeous pumpkin frame is just perfect! AussieMeg - Gintastic is awesome - the colours, the cocktail glasses - it would look fabuous framed by a home bar!

page 9 grammadee - the darker background with the bright colours make for such a cheerful page - you are lucky to have an in-person scrappy friend teacherlisa - that new puppy is adorable - I can see why you needed an 8-page layout for it and it turned out fabulous! kitbop - those stamped and cut leaves are perfect - I love your fishing/camping clusters - top notch as always as are the summmery one on submersive (love that title). Finally Today - with those soft colours and happy clusters - love it! I really like the wave paper and the torn paper shelf for your photo on resistance -what a fun page! lesley - The orange and turquoise colour pairing is spot on and I love the angles. Great photos too |

back for more comments AussieMeg - those photos of your DS are priceless and I lvoe the journalling - such a great story. Love the colours and the photos on your trip page - and there's just enough embellishing to catch the eye without overwhelming the gorgeous photos and all the journalling. wordyphotogbabe -gorgeous layouts! I love the texture and dimension of the leaves and then the simplicity of the fall layouts. The year in review is fabulous - all the highlights! The senior photos are great - they really seem to capture his personality and I love that you included so many in different sizes. Very poignant journalling and the butterfly cluster is perfect. You do an awesome job on journalling only pages! Great title cluster on the december page |

LAST January Best of Both Worlds LO. I am a day behind due to time difference. This is the first time I backed a cut file, so that was kind of exciting, lol  IMG_3365 by K Mage, on Flickr |

linda, I really like the title on the Norbert LO, very festive for a birthday, along with how you used the gnomes! Great use of them-I feel like they are deceptively challenging to use. scrappyrabbit, great use of layering and I really like how some of the layers are at an angle. The houses in the strip are too cute! grammadee, those Christmas layouts are full of energy and joy! I think the way you used the letters was so awesome and it really brought a sense of fun to the LO

teacherlisa, you could not have posted more adorable LO! You captured the essence of puppies so well, with the "cozy" bit...love these! kitbop, as always, your pages are so full of life and your clusters are top notch! Whenever I am stuck on a cluster, I think, "I wonder what kitbop has done", lol....just wonderful.

Linda, I love the Thanksgiving page with the table and YOU. The corner title and journaling, with the pretty fall paper is very classy. ~I love the simplicity of your Scott page. The soft colors and matching embellishments are perfect. Do you have pecans on your property? ~Sweet family page with that beautiful background. Also love that you included your kitties in your Nov. scrapping. ~Your DD’s birthday layout is perfect. I love the little gnomes and you journaling on the strips. Beautiful page. I can’t believe you have done 100 pages already this year! AussieMeg, grammadee, scrappyrabbit, and kmage, you have love in the gallery. I'm still working on Halloween, but hope to get to the Christmas photos soon.  Witchfest

Tammy Folk, cool journaling! Did you do that on the computer, or is that a stamp and handwriting? I printed it on the computer and then cut it into strips and outlined it. . . |

Finished a LO today that has been smoldering in my brain for a week. I had a blast photographing these three having so much fun in the deep snow in our yard. I brought back memories of when snowfall was just an invitation to get out and PLAY!  Snowball time by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I had thought I would do a huge layered title, and go crazy with the snowball theme, but ended up pulling back, using some circles I had on hand and cutting some more, grabbing stickers old and new from my stash. The LO didn't photograph very well--colours are not as crisp as I would like--but I am happy with how it looks IRL.
POINTS: two pages created & shared (4). M-1 Eight photos for the Donna challenge (8). P-1 foil circles (1), P-3 inked edges (1) and shaded snowballs (5), P-7 sixteen stickers (16), P-10 glitter letters (1), P-11 puffy phrase stickers (1), P-14 tiny foam and cs stickers (2), P-16 old Fancy Pants papers and new SU! papers. Old foil circles and new ep stickers (2), S/I-1 snowflake pp + eight stickers (9), S/I-2 one rectangular photo and four rectangles of pp (5), S/I-5 three stars (3), S?i-10 seventeen circles (17), C/M-5 gold and silver (4), C/M-9 winter (1), T-3 fussy cut three critters (3), T-6 three layers (3), T-7 three different dies, one punch, CM and EK cutters (4), T-12 seven diecuts (7), w/T-2 >10 words (2), Th-1 eight pic's from December '21 (16), N/S-3 two patterns (2), N/S 8 title (2). Total: 119.
This is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I love, love, love this! |

Tammy Folk, those pages are GORGEOUS!!! Love that Summer LO: so light and girlie and fun! And the Wild & Free page captures the excitement of young'un's out in the wild, exploring. I am amazed how you can get so much onto a page, yet have so much white space, and so cohesive that they are calming to look at. nylene and scrappyrabbit, there is love on Flickr.

I am overwhelmed! Tammy Folk - so glad you shared! That summer layout is an explosion of wonderful - I love the brigaht colours on the clean space! And all the grid pps on "Wild and Free" gives amazing texture to the whole page without too many patterns competing. kmage - love the colours you used to back that die cut! christinec68 - those blues  msupea - ballers is an amazing AMAZING use of design! scrappyrabbit - the use of the bbq overlapping one of the 3 rectangles is so cool, and all the embellies are so cute! nylene - this is honestly one of my favourite layouts of yours EVER. I can't say why, but everything, everything is perfection grammadee - I am sorry you are getting tired of Christmas because your ability to make each and every one bright and cheerful and festive but use such different colours is a lot of fun! |

I am finally sharing the wedding invitations that took me so much time at the beginning of the month. I made many designs: the bride and groom picked this one. 1. They wanted a very distinct green/blue/grey/eucalyptus colour that I could only create by inking paper myself. It was a lot of ink blending, but the cool thing was that each "panel" in the background then was a slightly unique shade. 2. The die cut letters were a *#$&@ pain in the wazoo. To only use the outline, and layer those 2 thick for stability/dimension - so much die cutting, so much poking out of the dies, so much glue... uggggh. I tried to get them to switch to solid letters but she really liked the outline... 3. The inner frame is popped up using 4 layers of cardstock to be really solid and not be ugly (like foam) 4. The handwritten "our"... I was sweating bullets. All this work, each card was so precious, and if I goobered it at the end by messing up the handwriting. 5. These kids have been dancing since they were born, met as professional dancers, and are now taking over a local dance studio. We didn't know what "sentiment" to put on the invitation...and I suggested "our duet"...and they loved it so much they are using it all over in their wedding. I feel...like a valuable player in their wedding! I think they'll remember me because of this, even tho I won't even be going to it (you can see there are only 25 invitations...)  wedding invitation by kirstendrew, on Flickr  wedding invitation pile by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

I subbed to the Scrapbook and Cards new stamp subscription Called "lets stamp together". Bimonthly, a stamp, die and stencil. First month - Gina K. She taught a youtube class for us last night, and we made 3 cards. I created the backgrounds but changed my designs a bit. This first one, I added the schnauzer, sentiment and pawprint for a friend who lost her childhood dog today   card schnauzer for erin by kirstendrew, on Flickr This one, I die cut the "banner" right out of the background and popped it up with foam, then added a fussy cut stenciled flower on top as well.  card happy birthday purple stencil by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

grammadee - I love all the energy and colours on your Christmas layouts and well done finishing up the album. I especially like that you included holiday cards. kmage - awesome job backing the cut file - I haven't attempted that yet. Great colour scheme! nylene - that is an amazing Halloween layout - Swayzee is adorable as always and your patterns and die cuts clusters are fabulous - and that house border - wow! Tammy Folk - that heart in the background with everything tied to it is super effective - I love it! And I really like the layout on a layout for wild and free - perfect! scrappyrabbit - I loved the grilling layout on the POTW thread and it was great to see it again - the hexagon clusters are awesome but I really love the little butterflies up top. christinec68 - fabulous blues - that's an awesome monochromatic layout! msupea - that wooden camera is just perfect on the senior photos layout! Love all the circles on the BB layout - ties in so well with the energy of the game kitbop - those invitations are absolutely gorgeous - you must have put so much time and effort and love into them but they are perfect! I hope the couple loves them as much I do. I'm sorry about your friend's dog - that's the hardest part about pets. Your card is lovely and I hope it brings her comfort. The birthday card is lovely - I love the dimension you've added - thanks for sharing the how.

msupea, I tried to leave love on Flickr, but somehow the comment function didn't work for me. Love the classic colours and patterns in the Senior page. She is a beautiful young woman, and she looks so confident here. And the Ballers LO is amazing from start to finish! Perfect use of that big circle and smaller circle clusters. Great action shots, and the muted pp really helps them pop. Perfect title. kitbop, those invitations are stunning and so. much. work. I know the bride appreciates them. I hope the recipients do as well. christinec68 there is love in the gallery.
