((((Hugs))) @cumber1137 -I'm so very sorry for your loss. You've done a beautiful job documenting your dad's final days and passing. I know the process must have been very hard - I recently scrapbooked my mum's death and it was hard but healing. I hope you found this project helpful and healing as well.

Wow, you scrappers are really keeping this thread hopping. I'll come back later to catch up on comments.   Christmas Day I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to do the paper piecings! Don't worry, I don't plan to count each of the pieces for the T-12 Die Cutting Diva, because those crazy designs have 80 little pieces each. I just know I won't be using that cute cut file again.LOL |

nylene - that paper piecing is glorious! I don't blame you for not wanting to do it again though. But please - take the 80 points each...trust me, you've earnt them (and I'm not just saying that because you're on my team). Beautiful layout!

I thought this one would finish off November 2010 until I realised there were unscrapped November photos at the end of October. Win some, lose some... green paper is from the thrift store grab bag, the bat brad is ancient and finishes that set of brads off.  This one DOES finish off December 2010 though...and was a little bittersweet as the sweet boy with DD in the top photo passed away in 2020. Paper is leftover from my DD this past Christmas. Stickers are Paper Studio I think but not positive  |

msupea, your Senior photo page is beautiful. You did a great job on the sketch. I love the backgrounds of each of those photos. So classy. The wooden embellishments are perfect for the rustic feel of the page. I love this.~ So many great action shots on your Ballers page. The design is perfect for your photos. I love the big ball behind the photos. Even the scallops fit the balls theme. Beautiful. kitbop, you have love in the gallery. Your invitations are simply exquisite. @sunnycamom, your glittery Valentines are lovely. I especially love that centerfold card. I have a hard time getting that fold to come out perfectly. Wonderful job. Linda, oh my gosh, those little hedgehogs are so adorable. Until I read your explanation I thought you had cut them out with all their little spikes. This page is so cute. I love the design and the green and brown color theme. Fabulous job. BTW, I used one of your Christmas pages as the design for my Christmas pages. I sketched it so I would remember and I’m glad I did because it has disappeared! I’ll know now to be sure to make a sketch! Thanks for the ideas. @cumber1137, I am so sorry for your loss. You have done an excellent job of documenting those last days. I am impressed with all the photos you have to preserve these memories. I know it must have been hard to scrap, but it will be such a great family heirloom. Thanks for sharing it with us. ~Your pocket scrapping is so perfect. I love the Red Rock page and the Getaway. You have picked and made the best cards for your title and journaling. These are all done so well.~I’m envious of the girls’ weekend, by the way. Tammy Folk, I love that summer page. So bright and pretty. Great job adding all those themed embellishment around the photo and hear. Love that heart background and your photo is so sweet.~Adorable Wild and Free page. I love the addition of the little bear and the photos are adorable. I wish my spatters looked like yours. This is a wonderful page.

Linda, is that a bat mask or is it painted? That is so cute. You always find the best backgrounds. I love those doves behind the photos on your choir page. The big green mat with each photo matted in white make them really stand out. You have talented children, like their mom. Another one I'm sketching! Thanks for the offer for all the points. I didn't realize it before I started, but each of the candy cane stripes were cut individually, as well as the pine needles and each piece on the pinwheel candies. I love doing little fiddly things, but this was above and beyond what I usually do. I'll count the bigger pieces and call it good. LOL

nylene - That page is delicious! It looks like a piece of christmas decor, or a page from an illustrated book. I love it, but I understand how fiddly it must have been. Linda - you are doing an amazing job of collecting all these memories. Using the dove paper for the 2nd layout is doubly appropriate given the sad loss of the boy in the photo.

this is definitely a colour palette I don't usually work with but back in 2010, my girls still liked the occasional pink and purple  flowers and enamel hearts are from Hobby Lobby - paper is Rob and Bob Studios Pixie Bloom Dots c. 2008  |

Linda, Disney pages are always my favorite to make. Your page is so cute. I love the dots in Disney colors and the offset mat on you title. Great photos. Your Legos page is perfect. All that Legos paper really makes your photos pop. Pixar has a Legos Woody just like that in their entryway. Amazing! Love the pink and purple for your little girl page. I had to chuckle about the girls occasionally enjoying pink and purple. We went through those phases too. I made 4 of these card boxes for my sisters and DSIL. They hold between 12-14 cards and envelopes. I have made a lot of sheetload cards, so it's easy to fill these for gifts.  Card Boxes

Catching up on page TEN: @sunnycamom , those cards are really cute. Love the different colour combos and card designs with those hearts. Linda , your checkerboard with the little hedgehogs is a super interesting element! Love that the greens match your dd's shirt, and that she is actually holding a hedgehog! Kudo's to YOU @cumber1137 , for scrapping the hard stuff. This book is going to be such a wonderful document of your dad's last days and his memorial. Love all the details. And the travel pages are really cool. Great photos and interesting details. Also love that you alternate between 12x12 and smaller protector sizes.
And homeschoolmom, I see you are still rolling along! And getting things DONE! Are you having fun scrapping your kids when they were little? All their adventures? I think my favourite LO here is the LegoLand one. Love all the Lego blocks!
There will be love on Flickr for your creations, nylene and gramma. |

I have filled in the gaps in October 2010 and can now call it DONE Photoplay Tulia's Birthday Party  Qk fossil die - I have no idea on the PPs  Photoplay Norbert's Birthday Party for these next two   and yes, grammadee - it is fun to scrap the older photos - hard to believe they were 4, 10, and 19 back then and now they are 15, 21, and 30...time flies |

You are really putting all that Tula and Norbert to work, Linda. Cute bd LO's. Love that you used the birthday party paper for the kitties enjoying the gift bags. And I can't believe how you always have that perfect paper, and/or perfect final touch for each of your pages. That dinosaur pp really works with that museum LO. |

I spent the weekend cleaning up and organizing my craft/scrap room/office ~ something I have been threatening since we started the challenge! The before picture is embarrassing because I tend to use the room as a *closet* and it gets nasty! My worktable was so jammed packed with stuff that I started using my ironing board! BEFORE (as if you couldn't tell!):  AFTER:   |

Linda , those birthday pages are really cute. Great combo of pink and green with your photos. Love all those birthday photos.~Perfect dino paper for this page. Great shot of the big dinosaur next to your little girl. So cute.~ I love the font on your Wish Big. The colorful balls are perfect for a birthday page.~LOL on the kitties page. I love the strip saying Party Animal. Looks like playing in a gift bag is a party. Cute! cadoodlebug , your room looks amazing. Wish I could hire you to come do some good in my messy scraproom. This is not fancy but I wanted to include a lot of journaling. I opened 3 packages never used before in making it. For 28-4-28 #2. That's the first of this month's challenges I have completed. justjac , gramma, and kitbop , you have love in the gallery.  Pretty Good Job

nylene - love the sun and sentiment on your sheetload cards! Your layout might feel simple to you, but the layers you added and the background pp give it a very complete feel. justjac - fabulous work documenting your life! That dress is gorgeous! cadoodlebug - that looks like it was a lot of work. It's hard to attack those spaces/surfaces. Linda - making the most of your colours and papers again - I especially like the way your photos go with the dinosaur background pp, not just the theme but the colour too.
