Two more 2-pagers for me this morning. They are landing here all at once, but they took me a week and a half, two on line crops, and some extra time to finish them. This second is my sample for tomorrow Sketchy Saturday:  EGGSalent Time by Gramma Dee, on Flickr The second is me trying to play with a rainbow die to get an Easter vibe. I started out thinking the four quarters could create a large egg that could serve as a mat, but I had trouble doing all the flips and turns to make the quarters work together. I decided to use them as four sections of a bunny trail to use with these fun photos my ddil sent me of their kids' egg hunt: Points: Four 12x12 pages (80), created & shared (8). Eighteen photos scrapped for the Donna challenge (18). Sketchy Saturday (5). p-9 washi tape, P-23 vellum as base of rainbow pieces, T-14 stamp & colour title word, W/T-7 punny title, N/S-6 lots of photos, N/S-11 5 pic's, N/S--12 lots of pic sizes. Total: 118

This page is for Shimelle's Use What You Buy / Stickers - Tuck Away a Border class. I really hope DD doesn't see this layout, because she hates these photos! She was 12yo and just starting to play around with make up. These days her make up is always immaculate, but back then.... not so much!   |

Wow. I am way behind in counting up my points, and even further behind in leaving love. Time to fix that! Starting on page THREE... Linda, I love how you photograph and scrap so many interesting details. Those nature statues are really neat. Love the turtle. And the live squirrel's adventures are a fun story. Beautiful flower pic's. As always, you add just the right little bit of decoration--I see than gnome! Love how you ran with the flamingos on Scott's shirt for that page: fun! Great photos of you on your birthday page. Your kitty pages are each so different and so interesting to look at and read about their different personalities. I like that angled pp on the daddy's home page--so bright and cheerful. Moving on to page FOUR: Linda, I can't see the journaling on the flag page, but I like how you used the stars and stripes on your page to highlight the flags in the photo. craftymom101, your Easter egg hunt page is perfectly delightful! I love the photos and his excitement, and your page really reflects that mood: all those pretty embellishments tumbling out from other other elements is the perfect way to scrap this! Congratulations on your 20th anniversary, gina! Love that photo of the two of you against the sunset. And the riotous colours of that floral background really works with it. The page with the rays is masterful. Love how you picked up and ran with the colours of the sea and sky, the flowers on your dress. I love the wonky divisions between the sections of the background and how you used the piled in embellishments to lift the photo block above all the pp imagery on the garden page: so playful, and so perfect. I love little boy pages, and the uniquely you page is a classic! The photos catch that little boy sense of adventure, and the colours/patterns are so masculine. And then we move on to your amazing use of colour in Summer Happiness and My colourful life! Wow! I love how you kept the colour of your outfits in the first two photos even though they were not the neons of your papers. Your One of a Kind page has me wanting to grab my Xacto knife and start cutting spirals: how FUN! And love what you did with the layered flowers and with the scallops on your little girl pages. I can see the joy you feel when scrapbooking. Thanks so much for sharing! Moving on to this page... Linda, I am in awe of your work with documenting your family's story, and your heritage pages are wonderful. So much love and work in the research and in the page creation. craftymom101, your Jet Ski adventure page is amazing! I love how you used that bold red pp and other elements: it really brings out the blues in the photo. I like how you show your use of your sketch planning book in this pages design. And there... I am caught up on the commenting. Just have to do some math, and I will feel more caught up. There is love on Flickr for scrappyrabbit, nylene, AussieMeg, kitbop, joblackford, cannmom, joyfulnana, |

This was incredibly complicated for me - I've never cut anything with so many pieces or glued anything with so many layers but I'm insanely happy with how it came out - it's not perfect but that's okay  (instructions and cut file from www.craftwithsarah.com/cricut-crafts/ ) |

 A grid page featuring eight photos from my garden (and one of Finn in my greenhouse).  I wanted to use my new Heidi Swapp stamp set so I used it on two places on this page, layering the stamps on the two tags. |

Argh, I'm sorry I'm doing a terrible job at commenting but I enjoy seeing what everyone is making! Latest cards I made with Doodlebug leftovers. I'm so low on patterned paper now I think I have earned a splurge! More details in the May Sheetload thread on the card board.

now for page 4 craftymom101 - love the egg hunt and the combo of coloured and b/w pics. That bunny peeking at the top is adorable! joblackford - I LOVE your mother's day cards and agree, that's a great sentiment AussieMeg - you were quick getting those brunch pics scrapped - love the tea cup and the yellows! scrappyrabbit - I love that subtle background paper - it lets the pumpkins shine and your clusters are awesome! grammadee - did you make that mixed media background? I love the colours - they are perfect with the photo! And you documented card-making with Mikey - love it! nylene - I love how you stenciled the GS symbol - perfect as is the Cookies title! gina - that floral background paper is beautiful - as are your pics I love how you used the triangles to make the background and then those lovely big clusters to frame your photo The garden layout is lovely also - what a cute rainbow! Uniquely you - what an adorable layout - love the pics and all the cute embellishments I love the ombre background and the clusters -esp. that cute bee! The overlapping circles with all the vibrant PP - beautiful and I love how you used her swimsuit to inspire the layout! The spirals are fabulous but I really love the froggie! I really like the pops of black with the spring colours and those detailed tiny butterflies are just right I love the use of half-circles for the background - I'm tucking that idea away to use! nylene - the flowers framing the collage works great - love it AussieMeg - that paper is perfect for documenting your breakfast treat - what a fun page! scrappyrabbit - that is awesome BoBunny paper and I love how the offset background makes your photo blocks pop and your scrappy cards are lovely! |

There is no way I can catch up but I sure am enjoying seeing everyone's work. Linda - the genealogy pictures are amazing and the colour blocks work well with them. I have special love for the butterfly page: I absolutely love how you used Halloween paper and made the butterfly colours pop, and yet kept it "summery" feel with the addition of the gingham and yellow in the matte. Your cards are all gorgeous - I especially noticed the butterfly card and the "hello there" with the cool rays in blue! And "little fish" is adorable. I love the monochromatic overlapping layers behind. joblackford , you are absolutely amazing with those pps. I can't decide which I like most. I thought I liked the ones without black, but then I changed my mind back and forth  You create great clusters! craftymom101 - wonderful grid layout. Absolutely perfect surrounding your title/embellie block. Love the torn edges and colours on "axopar" And good job using your stamps! Those tags look pre-made, you layered them up perfectly. Great photos (looks like fun, don't we wish we could all own a boat like that!) "Jet ski adventure" is seriously Wow!!! Amazing details - love it all. grammadee and AussieMeg and nylene and scrappyrabbit - found you in the gallery! |

So much tiny detail to glue down! Did you recently get a new cutting machine or did you take a class to expand your skills? I don't remember seeing you do cricut crafts before. |

craftymom101 I love how you use patterned papers to pull the colors out of your photos. The red from the jet ski adventure is so eye catching and the blues and yellows on the axopar page are such a good complement. I love how you include so many details on close inspection but at first glance the pages just work so well as a whole.

I don't remember seeing you do cricut crafts before. Thank you - no, still using the Cricut Expression I've had for eons(2010 I think - just before the lawsuit was settled) but nylene generously passed along some cartridges to me (I had only ever used it with SCAL) and someone here posted the link to the Gnome Countdown and I snagged some gnomes and other cut files there and I've been getting some cut files from PE and I just am trying to actually USE the Cricut more and learn how to do more stuff with it. |
