grammadee , I love the hockey papers and embellishments you found. Fabulous pages. You have love in the gallery. msupea , Those are "sick eyes" I see above the mask! I am so sorry you caught that. It is pretty nasty stuff. Glad it's over for you. It's nice that you had a kitty to keep you company. I love the borders you used on the bottom and the layering behind your group-matted photos. Great page. Linda, another great page about you! I find it hard to scrap myself and you do it beautifully. Johnny Rockets

Wow! I really need to catch up, here! Starting on page FOUR: Linda, I am loving all the purples I have been seeing on your pages, and the love page with your dd is a great example of how well you have been using this colour. Love the switch to a busier looking page design with the Happy Day page and the tilting on the biking one. Cute use of hexagons on the Allison class page. Love all the photos showing the progress on your puzzle LO. Great overlapping of mats on the Dancing in the Rain page (love the colour combo, too). On to page FIVE: Linda, I love how you use cs strips on your first two LO's on this page. Putting them on top of patterned paper is a great way to call attention to your photos. Way to take Allison Davis one step further! Love your instrospective page about your weight loss journey. This is the PERFECT place for that last piece of paper from that loved collection, and the image of the butterfly free from its cocoon is a wonderful visual metaphor. Great story and fun page about the mince meat pies: love the rolling pin sticker. And again, that cute little gingerbread house on the later page. Love to see family fun on pages, and the games night page and the card playing page are wonderful ways to document this tradition. Your torn paper seas are a great way to float your boats! Love seeing your kitties enjoying life on your pages, whether on their own or receiving love and attention from your family members. Glad you got some group shots while the older kids were home. Tucking in that eye chart on the new glasses page is a cute idea. That ME page is totally delightful! Love how you took the colours from those on your top. Shakti, you did a wonderful job on those slimline cards! Love the pink/grey colour combo and the birds in flight. gina, your PL page looks so bright and inviting. So much summer fun activity shots. Love the bright colours. Then the more muted look is perfect for the NYC Marathon page. Love the focus on those two photos, and the larger space reserved for the story. msupea, I love your Covid page. The drab background with those photos is the perfect way to tell this story. Such a well put together page. So glad you found a way to link it from IG. And from THIS page: craftymom101 I am in awe of how you use those kit products to create such fun interesting pages: the layering, the page design, the use of colour, yet the remaining white space. Spectacular! scrappyrabbit AussieMeg kitbop nylene there is love in the Gallery.

(and don't worry - the roasting pan was thoroughly cleaned and sanitised before the next use) this one didn't quite come together the way I was hoping but...it's done - title is stamped, border is punched, shaker was a RAK from kmagemore RAKed supplies for this one

craftymom101, beautiful layout. What cute boys you have. I love the way you layer so many interesting pieces around and under the photos and mats. I love the sweet nature of the journaling about their relationship. Linda, those are great photos for inside a historical museum. Nice design and I love that stamp in the corner. ~ Beautiful sunset. Your page colors are spot on for that sunset. Each reflects a color in the photos.~ I love the little paper doll on your Culvers page. She brings back memories of earlier scrapping! We love the fish at Culver’s.~ I love your birthday gnomes. So cute. Happy B-day to DH.~ You know we are all jealous of your new cleaning friends! What a kind and caring gift for you. Love the robot papers.~ Great use of the PL card on Cathleen’s page. Love her curls.~ I love that border of embellishments across the bottom on your page of the kids leaving. That is such a classy layout. Pinned.~ You manage to get so many photos on those small pages. You did a great job of A’s outdoor adventure. I think the best part is her big smile on each page!~ My grands and great-grands love, love, love our old Fisher-Price sets. Does my heart good and makes me glad I kept them. So....keep those!~ Cute kitty photos. They seem to make themselves at home. I love that large gray gingham background.~ Your albums are so organized! I also love your home decor for Advent.~What a beautiful Advent page with your lighted candle wreath. Gorgeous colors, design and embellishing. ~You look so good in your Christmas Market page. A Christmas market sounds so fun, but not in the Utah weather. LOL.~I love the vintage car piece you used on the Ford Garage page. kitbop, you have love on your layout in the gallery. It looks like your dog posed for the maker of that stamp! msupea, wow, that looks like a lot of work with those dies. They make gorgeous card tops though. I’m sorry they don’t cut as well as you’d like. Love the colors you chose. Lucky co-workers to get such lovely cards.

nylene - thank you - you always pay such sweet compliments! I'm definitely keeping the Fisher Price - some of it was mine, others we've acquired over the past 30+ years - my kids loved playing with it and it's currently on display in the craft room (except in December when it gets surplanted by the Christmas village). Hoping one day there will be grand-kids to enjoy it as well. DH actually just picked me up another set - the Dump Truckers - in really good shape and only missing a couple of small bits.

My DD was born on Valentine's Day so I made this box card for her and added a row of glitter hearts in the box. I decided that would be fun as a Valentine for our great-granddaughter too. I made 2 more as birthday cards for 2 of my granddaughters in college. Flower Box Card

scrappyrabbit - I love that background paper and the floral clusters you added! This one gave me fits...I really really need more practise with my Cricut so I can make better looking titles. PP is Recollections, sticker is Vicki Boutin, Christmas embellishment was a RAK and the topper is a punch. 28-4-28 day with the twist - pp are both pinkfresh as is the title, filmstrip and photo strip are cut on the Cricut, shaker is die cut and sequin filled, file tab is punched, flower and enamel dots are Paper Studio

scrappyrabbit , I love the soft flowers and the rough tree texture together. Great page. You have love in the gallery. Linda , your title is fine! It looks like you were just filling it. I think you will enjoy making shadows as you work on it. It looks nice the way it is. I love your silly photos at the party. So many hearts and so much love in these pages! ~ I love all your beautiful purple papers on your Always Choose Happiness page. You look pretty in purple. The jeweled heart and that cute filmstrip with the smaller hearts and flower make a wonderful corner cluster. Great job on Challenge 1. This is my Challenge 1. 1 photo, 2 patterned papers, 3 word title and twist-handwriting. Sweet Baby Girl

Time for me to catch up here... Linda, I remain amazed by your page production! So many cool pages! Love the antique wallpaper-like background on your museum pages. And those are the perfect cardstocks to show off those lovely sunset photos. What a cute little miss serving the hamburger on that page! You know I love gnomies, and I love how you used that paper on the Birthday Boy LO. Robot pp for your Roomba? Genius! Your dd looks so confident in that photo on the Just Go for It page. Love the butterfly pp. Love the travel ephemera piled in at the bottom of the page of your kiddo's driving away. It is so wonderful that your dd brings home these amazing photos of her girl guide adventures--a scrapping mom's dream! Love that little helicopter on the Fisher Price toys page: they are addictive, aren't they? Those cats in the roasting pan are a hoot! Glad you captured and scrapped that! And your Advent pages actually look really good even if you are not quite happy with them: I like that the side panels look like shutters opening up to reveal those pieces of your celebration. Your holiday traditions are really fun to hear about and see on pages. I like the way you matted the photos on the Christmas Market page--adds to the feeling of hustle and bustle. And that antique car diecut on the Ford Garage page is priceless! Looks like you had fun at that Christmas party. I love that the pp matches your dress in the fun photos. I struggle with cutting script letters. They never seem to want to separate from the background easily. But they look good on your page. The green background helps to set them off from the background. You look so elegant in purple. Great job punching and placing all those hexagons! Great pattern. I can see why you like your new glasses--they suit you nicely, so you can both see well and look good! Great layering on this page. And I love the snoozing cat photo. That cs echoes his pretty colour really well and the background ties in with that pad he is sleeping on. msupea, you did a marvelous job with that plaid die set. I have one like it, and it does take patience, especially in gluing down the layers. Love the colours you chose for your cards. There is love on Flickr for kitbop, nylene, scrappyrabbit.
