Another SG sketch -modified to be one-page and 8.5x11 - Paper Studio PP except the black stripe..not sure what that is. Memento alpha stamps, I think the die is Memento also but...not sure  Another modified SG sketch - Paper Studio scraps, I'm not sure where I got the cut file.  I'm not sure what inspired this one - I remember seeing a layout with triangles in the background but can't remember where I saw it. Same Paper Studio pad as the previous layout except for the matting and little strips...that was a pad I got at Joanns a few years ago. Alphas are paper studio as well  |

off to a slow start today as this layout wasn't coming together. Very very loosely based on a SG sketch (I basically took the centre circle from the sketch and went in a totally different direction) Scalloped circle is a cut file  |

Linda, you are doing a great job of adjusting the SG sketches. I can’t seem to do that, but I can scraplift you. I love the Work From Home page. It’s simple, clean, classy and your colors are perfect. ~The little gnomes are so cute on your birthday page and I love the title letters in circles.~I love the use of the triangles on your Cats page. Never would I think to put brown with blacks and grays, but you have made the most beautiful background. The pop of the red hearts is so dramatic. I love, love, love this page!~I love the black and green on Midnight. That lacy doily is beautiful. Very classy.~Great use of all those arrows on Currently. I love the angles you have used. Those tiny pastel florals are gorgeous together.~I love those pastel florals on your large triangles for UCF. The enamel dots matching the borders make all the embellishment needed. Lovely.~I love Natural Beauty and it’s a favorite of mine. I love the purples, strips and angles. Dragonflies are my favorite insect and I love that die cut in deep purple.~May I ask where you found the Minecraft paper? Alex loves Minecraft and I’d love to do a page about it. Love your pages.~Your Midnight Love page made me giggle. Funny how some love up close hugs and others don’t...goes for people too!~Your husband has a great eye for paper. I love the greens, dots and florals. The bubbles die cut is really cute.~Great use of the cards and dice on your games page. I’ve never thought to play games thru Facetime. That would be fun to do with my Calif. grands.~More pretty purples on Sky is the Limit. Those squares are a wonderful design element.~Cute use of hexagons on Manatee. Your DD has the prettiest smile to go with that gorgeous curly hair!~ I have never heard of Millie Bourne. I may have to google. Did you make your cute table runner?~So many interesting backgrounds on these pages. I love the rounded squares on Little Friend.~Your rainbow heart background is perfect for the photo of the rainbow. Very pretty.~I love the calculator and the corner cluster above your photo on Math!~Love your little pink pig Legos design. So cute! The pink and white Legos scattered down the banner are perfect.~ Love the angles on Scott. That Vintage Genuine die cut couldn’t be more perfect. I feel the same way about DH.~ Love your Voted page for more reasons that the artistic design! I need to do a similar page in November! MDscrapaholic, you have really been on a roll. I love your My Story Album, and those photos and pages of little Lucy are adorable. I love the photos on OBX pages. Your clusters are so pretty.~Your grid page with the children’s photos is so nice. I love the photo of the board with their heights and the use of the big 8. ~ I am so impressed with all you put in your journal. What a valuable heirloom this will be in coming years. Every page really depicts what’s going on in the world, as well as what you are doing each week. Fabulous job. Thanks for sharing your life with us. AussieMeg, I will catch your pages in the gallery.

craftymom101 - I love your clusters! They give such dimension and anchor your photos beautifully. Wish I had a good reason to use flamingos! nylene - I LOVE that white on white texture! How girly but restrained; how graduate and celebratory yet dignified! Linda -  you are on a real streak. I really love the papers you combined in "Scott". The blues in "LF". The rainbow for your rainbow! You seem to be in a really creative zone. This is another for Shimelle's "rainbow" class - colour combo was pink/blue/red. It still feels valentines-y to me but I like it. I pulled out old "love Elsie" stickers and enamels, odds-n-ends papers, and it feels good to say that most products on here are 10 years old or more!  layout happy dance by kirstendrew, on Flickr

craftymom101 - lovely summery layout with flamingoes! kitbop - what a beautiful layout - I love the colour scheme and it doesn't look valentines to me at all - I love the off-set centre cluster strip - very eye catching! This one didn't quite come together for me and the typewriter die cut looked more defined on the die than it cut out. oh well.  And I'm not sure the purples all work with each other but they all pull from the background so...good enough, right? The title is cut from a cut-apart sheet (originally said Happy Birthday)

craftymom101 , you have the most wonderful clusters. I love your flamingos. Your photos are beautiful and I love the softness the pink lace adds to your page. Great use of the patterned papers. Such a beautiful page. kitbop , your page is beautiful and doesn't look like Valentines to me. I'll leave you love in the gallery. Linda , I love plaids and your use of the plaid background is really nice with the red accents. I think your typewriter looks nice! ~ The background on Happy is gorgeous. Did you make that paper? It looks like alcohol inks in purples and grays. I think your purple cardstock pieces are a great combo with that background. I like the gold on your title that matches the frame in the first photo and leads the eye upward through the layout.~Clever idea to use triangles on the Pizza page. It's bright and fun just like a pizza night!

Thank you nylene - I can't claim credit for that gorgeous background - it's pre-made from a Momento paper pad. This layout is super simple - some old stickers and a Miss Kate's Cuttables cut file for the title. I need to add Thanksgiving theme to my scrappy shopping list...it was slim pickings in my autumn theme folder. I also need to do a better job of being IN the pictures.  sticker is EP O Holy Night, Alphas are QK, PP is Paper Studio, hexagons are a cut file  |

Going back to find the creations I have missed. On page FIVE, there is a delightful page by scrappymeg. No wonder you love that selfie: you look gorgeous in it: confident and full of the joy of life. And I love the way all the flowers and butterflies and extras reflect that joy. On to page SIX. Linda, I like how you branched out into using pp backgrounds. But always your clean and simple style shines through. That yellow/blue page with the hearts has a classic look, as does the "working from home" page. And of course I love the slice of your lives your pages portray, all the traditions and special events. And that you are often on those pages. paget, your PL pages are wonderful. They have so many interesting details, and every panel looks designed with care. Love all the different photos, but I think my favourites are the doggie ones: so sweet. Good to see you scrapping again, teacherlisa. Good to see your restaurant adventures and your affirmations. That kareoke page is my favourite LO I think. Love the simple colour scheme, the use of those squares, and that it shows YOU having a great time! And your "You deserve..." page is wonderful. You have been doing so much inspiring journaling. Thanks for sharing. MDscrapaholic, thanks for sharing your SCT creations! That birthday page is really sweet. So many snippets of the experience, and I love the frame within the photo. And your journal pages are delightful! LOVE the phrase "Cool kids never sleep" next to the pic of the exhausted mom! Okay. That's it for tonight. Will catch up on page seven later... |

Thank you grammadee The PP and punch-outs are from a packet of scrapbooking paper DH got me for $1 from a yard sale - I think they are designed for card-making, maybe, and possibly came as free gift with a magazine. I might not have grabbed them myself but I think it's super sweet he keeps an eye out for scrappy things for me. The diecuts were a RAK from joblackford and the rolling pin has been in my stash for some time...  |
