Thank you kitbopI love your layouts - you always seem to have the perfect clusters! I love the colours of Cosmic Side hustle - I never think to combine blue and purple but it looks awesome. Your sun is fabulous on Hello Sunshine! and Large print is so eyecatching with all the embellishments encircling that lovely photo.

grammadee - I like how you included the book covers of the books you've read so far and the text paper - perfect! The title and the book spines on Tuesday Murder Club are fabulous - I love this layout! And I spy you on the Jubilations layout also - great job being in your books! Loe the background colour and the arrows pointing to the subject! gina - those are gorgeous valentine layouts! I love the huge title for the photo shoot...and all the hearts for date night! The way you've clustered the photo, title and embellishments together on love is fabulous!I really like how yiou used mixed media on the February layout - and that is such a sweet photo! The negative space hearts are a great technique on dance lessons! And also on valentine's day - I really like your colour choices on that one!

last layout from today's crop - photo is scanned from a folded newspaper clipping but I think it turned out reasonably well. The lower half of the page is a pocket holding a newspaper clipping. PP and stickers are K&Co Super simple one using Deluxe Cuts colourblocking templates, EP pp and stickers, and paper studio alphas another super simple one using Echo Park Winter Magic

I need to take some time and leave some love for you creative Peas. Looks like my last comment was back on page SEVEN. So I will be starting there: Pages 7&8: Linda , your snowy LO's are lovely. Glad you got to use those fun snowflake papers. I actually love the look of snowy trees and glittery landscapes in winter. I just like to look at them through the window from a warm house. I love the layering on your cardinal page. And gorgeous photos! Glad you are getting to scrap your older Christmas memories. Your dd looks so CUTE! I like how you use the matting to separate the pic's from the festive papers, how your two pagers flow, and how you add just the perfect little extra on each page (like that oven mit). So much holiday fun. Speaking of the perfect extra, that black mustang symbol is perfect for that car page! Love seeing the contrast between this year's photos and the ones from 15 years ago. Aheartfeltcard , those delicate diecut flowers are really pretty. Love the white on white with the pink behind the window. Pages NINE and TEN: Linda , your family Christmas LO is lovely. Love the way you interspersed the family members' pic's with cookies and gingerbread houses. AWWW... the sleeping little one is adorable, and the page is GORGEOUS! Love how that lacy cut file gives the impression of a soft baby blanket. I love that you are documenting all the little milestones, like your dd trying on the blush. I really like what you did with that rollerblading page, a much more subtle look than Shimelle's, but I think I prefer yours. And your use of the two toned grey strips with the hits of orange on your kitty page is really effective. But I am loving all of your different kitties' adventures on your pages. Looks like your dd is artistic like you are, creating her own room decorations. And your family seems to have so many visits to cool places: good to see those on your pages. Thanks for sharing your lovely pages, gina . That first V-day page is fun with the multi patterned letters and the stitched hearts. Grey is such a great way to ground the piled up hearts in the second page. Can't go wrong with overlapped red title letters on that black & white background. Love that those letters match her top in the photo. The vertical pattern with the cute lovey dovey pic at the top is a fun page design; great layering all the way up from the inked background. And cutting hearts out of the cs and then backing them with pp is a fun technique. Each of your pages I see makes me want to try something new and interesting. Have already attempted a lift of one of your pages. Don't be surprised if you see an attempt at a copy of one of these. Aheartfeltcard , those vellum butterflies are really pretty on that vibrant inked background.
Congrats on getting so many LO's finished, 950nancy! Hope you come back and share some--or ALL--of them!

My LO for this morning. POINTS: two 12x12 pages (40), created & shared (4). Seven photos for the Donna challenge (7). Total: 51.
A word about the title: my ds's band name is Joshuas Habit. And he was excited to take his family to see the Joshua trees when they ended up in Palm Springs instead of Mexico over the Christmas break. It doesn't fit any of the 28-4-28 challenges I am missing. Was thinking when I started posting I might be able to squeeze it into Linda 's SPACE challenge just to show how I use up every little bit of space on my pages, but since I don't have much layering on this one, and probably will on another, I decided to not claim that.

you certainly did use up every inch of space on that layout but with those great photos? no one can blame you. Love the photo realistic paper! grammadee

Used an SG sketch (modified) for this, scraps, and Simple Stories chipboard stickers the tag is a bit too big but I was having trouble sizing with the Cricut and didn't have enough cardstock for a third try.

I am SUCH A DOLT! I posted the sketchy saturday thread today... I had made sure that i had finished my sketch examples and was prepared because I "remembered" that I had signed up for it for March 4...which in my head...was the first Saturday after my last 28-4-28 challenge went up. Which was incorrect obviously So I deleted it but will share the example here and officially post the challenge NEXT Saturday layout niagara fails by kirstendrew, on Flickr

Have you enjoyed doing the smaller size on her Scout album? Thank you for all your sweet compliments! I do like the smaller size for the Scout album because many times I only have one photo but it is a little trickier when I have a bunch of photos. Square is hard compared to rectangle though.

Thanks for sharing your lovely pages, gina . That first V-day page is fun with the multi patterned letters and the stitched hearts. Grey is such a great way to ground the piled up hearts in the second page. Can't go wrong with overlapped red title letters on that black & white background. Love that those letters match her top in the photo. The vertical pattern with the cute lovey dovey pic at the top is a fun page design; great layering all the way up from the inked background. And cutting hearts out of the cs and then backing them with pp is a fun technique. Each of your pages I see makes me want to try something new and interesting. Have already attempted a lift of one of your pages. Don't be surprised if you see an attempt at a copy of one of these.
I'd love that. Make sure to tag me!
