I love all the different papers you used on the halloween page grammadee - and that grid design is perfect on the right! The Wheely Good day layout is fabulous - love all the energy and that grungy background I love all the squares on the birthday card and that your embellishments are also squares. awesome pumpkin and I love punny title artbabe you've been busy! I really like that fall plaid for Sammy's photo! The torn paper on Splash gives a wave look - perfect! That extended photo mat on festive Sammy is great and I love how the die cuts and cluster frame the photo. Lynnette - the neutral background with the pops of colour in the mat and title really draws the eye into the photo. Beautiful layout LOVE the basic grey -and the way you've added graffiti like accents to the page. Great job pulling out that balloon punch! Both of the understory layouts are fab - I love the greens with just that pop of turquoise and then the clustering on the other one! Perfect use of Wolf Pack - I love that paper but it's a trifle hard to use. Great colours on the taco and brewdog pages - the black is just right to offset the brightness That's a versatile sketch for the Christmas pages - I wouldn't have realised it was the same sketch if you hadn't mentioned it. I like how the pages coordinate yet are distinct. (and all my layouts are photographed wonky - I didn't even notice any crookness in yours but I would have chalked it up to photography if I had) |

Aheartfeltcard - wow - you make stunning cards! the simplicity of of the vellum embellishment against the subtle shading of the turquoise makes for a very elegant card!

those are lovely kitbop - the bird photo is amazing and I love all the open circles in the background. And all those hearts are just right for the yearbook picture. |

Because I feel too needy sharing twice and also want to drive traffic to cardmaking/stamping, I'm sharing cards there. I will now attempt my first link within the forum: 2peasrefugees.boards.net/post/3878925Hurray! It worked. Back in January, I bought the dies for it, but wanted to wait until February to get the "open something for the first time" challenge point. Totally FORGOT I needed to actually make it until Sunday, so I think I rushed it more than I should have and would do several things differently had I given myself more time. But the look of absolute delight when it was opened was very gratifying! |

Your DH has a great eye for bargain scrap supplies. ~ I love the floral prints behind the beautiful flower photos and also the grass hut.~ I love all the pages you did with the EP Winter Magic paper. That really is a pretty line and you have used it so well. There is a lot of variety in it and in your pages. I will have to remember that line. Aheartfeltcard, is the leafy design cut from vellum? It is so pretty. I love the ink blending you did on the background and the way the gold mat matches your gold embossed sentiment. Lovely. artbabe, I love both versions of your Christmas pages. That vintage-looking paper is so perfect for a Vinyl Christmas. ~ I love the bright inking and spatters on your Sara page. The die cut bottle is perfect. ~ I love the fiesta colors you used on the taco page. It really fits the subject. ~ Nice grid and great use of the wolves on Wolf’s Ridge. ~ I love the design on your This Day page. The cluster of items tucked at the top and bottom are so classy. Love the twine on the tag. ~Beautiful photo and papers on Understory. That’s such a pretty page. ~ Great birthday page. I love the floating balloons and the banner. Nice use of 3 photos. ~I love the Basic Grey paper. What a fun background on This Photo.~ Cool layering of a variety of items behind Lynnette.~ Sweet Christmas page for Sammie.

Aheartfeltcard, thanks for the info on the vellum. I love that. Your thank you card is beautiful. I love the way the flowers tuck into the circle. I would never think of that. I will remember that little touch. Beautiful card.

You are having fun with all those snow photos, aren't you, Linda? I love that polar bear pp. Cool that you used a piece of it above the teal mat. Aheartfeltcard I really like what you do with those delicate diecuts. kitbop and nylene there is love on Flickr. |

Here is my take on today's challenge. And hey, since FARM starts with F and I claiming this for the Donna challenge, too. The sunlight streaming though the window when I took the photo of this kinda washed out some of the fun colours here--especially the little cb piggie at the right--but I decided to just go ahead and post the photo I had... Points: two 12x12 pages (40) created & shared (4). Five photos (5) and F theme (10) for the Donna challenge. 28-4-28 with twist (7). P-10 twine, P-13 eyelets, C/M-8 yellow & green, Th-16 out of province. Total: (70)

Linda, I am loving that Winter Magic and the layouts you have made with it. The snowmen and polar bears in their mint colored scarves. Love the mint mats you have used. Beautiful huge SNOW letters. Did you cut those? They are perfect. grammadee, that chicken wire really speaks to me. I owned a business that used chicken wire and I am drawn to it. You have love in the gallery.

grammadee, that chicken wire really speaks to me. I owned a business that used chicken wire and I am drawn to it. You have love in the gallery. That paper is Simple Stories "Vintage Farmhouse Garden" from 2021. I love chicken wire, too. I actually have a die, an embossing folder, a couple of stencils, and a piece of a sheet of actual WIRE that was included in a kit I once purchased. But this page was quick and easy--just cut the SS pp into the shapes I needed! (One of the 49&Market tags I used has the pattern, too, and since I had photos of kids with CHICKENS...) |

grammadee and kitbop, I caught your pages in the gallery. You have love. Great job pinking the edge kitbop! Linda, I love your cardinal page. The use of the grid paper and the matching dots and red paper make this so cohesive. I’ve only seen a cardinal once. They are so beautiful.~I love the way you have used three photos on your Christmas pages. They are well designed and there is still room for embellishments. Great job.~Cute photo of your DD on the page with oven mitt and apron. She looks like a good little baker.~Beautiful monochromatic page with your kitty. I love the deep greens in those papers.~Sweet photo of you rocking Annabelle. Makes me nostalgic. Another pretty non-traditional Christmas paper line.~Love the page of your DD helping with the cookie baking. Great use of that sketch.~ Your present opening pages really show the events and feel of the Christmas Morning. I love that.~Wow, that’s some icicle! Did you cut the letters with your Cricut. Beautiful page.~That Mustang emblem you cut with SCAL is fabulous. The little touches, enamel dots, red strip behind the journaling strip, triple matted photo are what make your pages so wonderful.

Thank you nylene - yes, the letters for Icicle were cut with the Cricut. I'm glad you and the other Pokies finally convinced me to try it with the cartridges. 7 Jan 2023 sketchy Saturday - circles are cut with SCAL on the Cricut, title is stamped  28-4-28 day 9 with the twist - tags are die cut, hexies were leftover from another layout, small hearts are punched, medium heart and circle are QK die cuts  28-4-28 day 11 no twist - hearts and small circles are punched, bigger heart is a QK die, rings were cut on my Cricut, papers are all from my scrap folders  |
