Love the sketches, AussieMeg. And what a fun twist! Off to the Gallery to leave some love.

I used the right side of the double page spread to design the right side of this spread!

Oh boy, you said "mash em up" and mash em I did! I think you can see many of the influences: top/border strips, grid of 4 photos, circles/stars, cluster/title placement, and even the polaroid frames.

Hi Everyone,


I am on the Scissor Sister team and chose this challenge for one of my themes. I also posted it in the mega crop.

scrappyrabbit Thank you so much for the kind words. Yes, those are die cuts that I cut out with my Gemini. I bought them years ago because we use to go the beach and the aquarium so much. 

AussieMeg, thank you for this challenge and all the challenges you have hosted for 28-4-28, Your pages are lovely. You have love in the gallery.

jjpeapea, your tree lighting page is so pretty. I love the 3 different Christmas icons you used as borders. Your circle clusters are very well placed. Love that you got to attend this and took photos. It’s always so cold that we seldom go anymore. Great job.

scrappyrabbit, justjac, kitbop, Ryann, you have love in the gallery.

destined2bmom, your pages are beautiful. I love the background paper that looks embossed. Is it? Your seagulls and fish and seaweed and waves are amazing. You have done a marvelous job embellishing these pages. I love your photos. In fact, I love every inch of these pages! What a wonderful adventure.

I have to explain my pages. I started out with 4 photos, one in a Polaroid frame, but on my small canvas I couldn’t make it work. I then changed it to 3 photos. That took most of my page so I couldn’t do much more. I turned the 2nd page sideways and put the title underneath. By the time I finished, you’d never know I started with the sketch. Unfortunately, that often happens to me. LOL. I took the circles from the other page and thought I’d use snowballs, but ended up using snowflakes instead. Can you tell I struggle with 12x12 sketches on my 8.5x11 pages? But I am happy with it in the end.

Here is my mashup, AussieMeg. I used the two pager as a guide, and then threw it the "cookies" for the circles in the single page sketch. I had thought I would use stars, too, but ended up with just the "chocolate chips" and "M&M" dots.

jjpeapea, I love how the pinks in the background bring out the night time photos! Awesome non traditional pallet for scrapping Christmas.

Ryann, I love what you do with those b&w backgrounds! So much to love about your page here: the cute photos, layered torn edges, cascading clouds, awesome clusters...

destined2bmom, I love all the nautical elements and how you have clustered and interwoven them in the Behind the Scenes Tour LO. Love all the blues in the photos and how those yellow diecuts really grab your attention.

I think I caught the rest of these creations on Flickr.
