are you sending your beautiful cards to Seniors or are these some you are selling in your shop. They are fantastic. Totally delightful. You have love in your gallery. Thank you  I am planning to close my shop soon (costs spiraling, sales dwindling) so these will all be donated, sent to friends, or given away. Please let me know if there are any specific ones you have your eye on, if you have a use for them! |

Yesterday I spent a few hours at the LSS while my car was getting a service and some computer updates. I chose to focus on some hockey pages to fill in some gaps in my Winter 22-23 album. Came home with five double pages that needed just a few little additions from my stash at home. Here are three of them. POINTS: Six 12x12 pages (120), created & shared (12). Twenty-eight photos scrapped for the Donna Challenge (28). P-17 large sticker, C/M-2 all blues, T-4 stamped background. Total: 163.
Will upload the other two tomorrow. And hopefully finish and post the last hockey LO that I had to print photos for after I left the LSS. |

grammadee , I enjoyed your layouts in the gallery. You have love there. joblackford , I am sorry you are closing your card shop. I think your cards are always delightful. Your Doodlebug cards will really cheer up Seniors who need a little love. You have an amazing way of putting those designs together. Love them all. I am trying to prep for Cousin Camp this year, so this may be my last page for a couple of weeks. My house needs a lot of loving care before all the family arrives.  Magical Memories

Need to get caught up on comments... Back to page EIGHT: Linda, your fathers day shadow box is AMAZING!!!What a special gift! Now I am feeling guilty about the tee shirt and personal fan I picked up for dh LOL. And as always, I am amazed by how you can put together three LO's that are so different all in one day! Love that hexagon pp and journaling spot on Puffs, the steel grey on the military page and the bright primary LEGO accents. On to page NINE: Linda, I love the varied topics of your photos. That squirrel outside the window is so cute. The museum pic's are great (and I love that little sewing machine accent), and that sunset pic is really pretty. Love the way you scrapped the sunset, especially the title letters. And I love the pic's and stories about the cats: do they have their own album? Speaking of cats, I love that Christmas LO with you and Dusty! Your pages record so many interesting details: love the start to finish tree decorating and the menu for Christmas breakfast. The cats' Christmas is a hoot! And it's sweet that the family still cherishes traditions. I love the Christmas pj pic's I get from the different households each year. Love the expressions on the Selfie page: looks like Scott enjoys taking selfies about as much as I do LOL. I really like how your PL style Christmas LO turned out: great photos and bright happy cards interspersed look very festive. Love the Dusty stories from kittenhood to craftroom mascot. Love seeing your pages, artbabe. You used that ray pp perfectly with that sweet pic at the center: that elongated mat breaks up the background design and really pulls the eye in to that happy guy. Those bright happy papers really spruce up that bracket page design. Perfect little boy page. Your foray into double pagers went swimmingly well! Love the flow of photos and the layerd torn borders on the Philidelphia LO. And how you framed the pages with the two large pp strips on the museum spread. Your childhood and school photo pages are really pretty. The doily is a wonderful choice to lift the b&w pic off the colourful background, and I love the placement of the mats & tickets on the teacher page. You really found the perfect line to scrap those seaside photos! LOVE that photo on the Ocean View page and you scrapped it beautifully. Did you cut that FAMILY title? Or did it come with the kit? Love what you did with it. And I love how you balance the large family photo on the one page with the grid design on the next one. Great summer colours and patterns. Mini Me: you are so CUTE!!! Love how you used the overlapping mats whittling down in size to call attention to that pic. That Tool Belt page is so masculine with the woodgrain and tool accents: what a great way to feature the photographic capture of daddy's little helper! You always make the best use of colour and design. Love the light blue with the fluffy cloud and sequins on the View page and then the vintage look of the page with the dinosour bones, and the baseball buddies page has just the right amount of themed accents. Did you stencil that huge sun? Perfect feature on the BEACH page. And I absolutely adore the photos hanging on the line on the page following it. Whew! You gals have been busy! Such alot of scrappy inspiration! I need to leave off here and come back later. |

Continuing comments from where I left off on page NINE, then moving on to page TEN: Linda, I love how your selfie with Dusty is nestled into that floral pp with flowers tucked under, over, and around it. Fun photos on the birthday page: looks like he was delighted with his gifts (and I love the candle pp background). scrappyrabbit, joblackford, nylene, there is love on Flickr. |

Last 2 cards done:  June share by jo.blackford, on Flickr I ended up with 54 cards and only a small pile of scraps after I added decorative bits to the insides:  June share by jo.blackford, on Flickr If anyone can use these die cuts or scraps let me know. The flamingo scraps are a decent size. All the little bits will go in the compost. I put one decent sized scrap of the sunshines into my stash because I love them! |

One of my relatives needed us to send a pizza gift card to one of their friends for his retirement so I came up with this design using some scraps and leftovers. Men like geometric texture and interactive designs, right? (I mean, who doesn't?) Hubby gave me their message printed out on a scrap of paper so I folded into the gift card holder to temporarily hide the value. I don't like seeing the dollar amount before I read the message. I've only shown a cropped view inside to hide the names but the gift card holder folds open and then the little message folds open too. I had the congrats already cut and it covered up the bit on the gift card holder that also said "for you."  June share by jo.blackford, on Flickr |

grammadee - I LOVE that ball cap and bison! and it sits so well on top of the square layers. joblackford - the white on white texture on the front of the card is lovely with the gingham and pizzas. It's hard to come up with a design from scratch like that! I am so far behind (like 7 pages behind I think) that I'm just gonna stop there and go back slowly. Today, I photographed and uploaded the 4 pages I managed in the past month. I am using a "kit" - loosely coordinated papers and stickers that make a start to the page, then I dive into my stash for anything I need. I'm hoping it makes this trip story a little more cohesive in my album? I'm not used to scrapbooking a single subject all at once, but am determined to finish this trip story, and then try another.  layout mooch mutts by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout we're all game by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout great sword by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout car sardines by kirstendrew, on Flickr

  Crooked photo of layouts, as always. 1st is Photoplay. Somehow this layout felt like cheating because it is just stickers. 2nd is Vicki Boutin. Finally had a use for a lemon paper. Found 15 year old ribbon for this one. |

Loving your pages, artbabe and craftymom101! artbabe , that title on the university page is just PERFECT. Love the stack of books and the other school icons on your pp. Using that lemon pp and the blues with that shirt in the pic on the Thirteen page is genius! I always love your beach LO's. The torn edges on the first page and the spray of stars on the second. Is that 49 & Market pp? So perfect for beach pages. craftymom101 , your kit pages are gorgeous. I am always in awe of your clusters, photo placement, and colour selection. My fingers are itching to try a lift of one of these pages... |
