Broke out three of my new word dies:
  
The card bases are some preprinted ones I've had and been trying to find a use for. Cards for Kindness says they count as homemade, so hopefully they count here too. |

This is one of several unfinished layouts that I started in December. I'm not sure if it was for a sketch or challenge, or just one of the few layouts I do for no reason. 😆  |

Thank you! I struggled quite a bit. For some reason I expected working with the word dies to be simple -- Jennifer McGuire videos probably being the reason.  |

Shakti , you did a great job blending the new dies and the older supplies. Jennifer makes EVERYTHING look easy, but she has a lot more practice using her supplies than we do.

Shakti, I think your cards are lovely. I love the dew drops and the glittery touches. Those word dies are so versatile. I'm sure you will use them often. AussieMeg, I love the layout! You have love in the gallery! I especially love those dotted "bounces"!

This was a layout I started at a crop in October and has been sitting in a box since then. I was going to use a Sept sketch but based on the base papers I chose, I have no idea what I was thinking. Ha!! Whatever that was, I am much happier with this arrangement:  Sweet Memories by Christine C68, on Flickr |

And thank you for mentioning Cards for Kindness. I have a bunch of cards that would fit their needs and I'm also making a mental note to make a cards with my scraps so I can send cards to them on a regular basis. |

This LO is for MOC Day 2 at The Lilypad. The challenge was to do an art journal page including gesso. This challenge took me right outside of my comfort zone, as art journaling is really not my style. Luckily I had bought this amazing kit just last week, before I even knew about this challenge. I'm actually quite happy with this page, even if I don't actually put it in an album!   |

scrappyrabbit The title and the gondolas are perfect! Just posted this layout today. I typically do one of these every year to wrap up the old year and get my goals down for the new year. There is a process video in the link.  2 Page New Years Layout video

lisae, that two pager is beautiful. Love how you included your journaling in the pocket and how you placed that one photo as if it is peeking in from the future. I have not often done a "year in review" LO, except maybe when I do the cover for my family calendar, and that has no journaling, just photos of family members taken throughout the year at random times and collaged in place by their size & shape.

lisae I love your pages for the wrap up of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. I watched and subscribed to your YouTube channel. It was really fun watching you and seeing you (sort of) in person. Thanks for linking that in your post. I love the watercolor paper that you used to cut out Silhouette shapes. I will use that idea. scrappyrabbit, you are really on a roll getting all your trips scrapped. I love all the photos you take. I'll look closer in the gallery. grammadee, I love your version of the sketch. So many cute Christmas embellishments with such cute photos of Christmas fun. Love the expression. I'll catch this in the gallery.
