I am so far behind... in everything... Hope to get back here over the next day or two and leave some love. grammadee - did you make that mixed media background? I love the colours - they are perfect with the photo! Thankyou! I did the background by applying a few colours of SB.com "Pops of Color" with a scraper to Vicki Boutin foundations cs. I picked up a couple of sets of them when they had a big sale, and those were some of the Neon ones. |

Your little royal gnomes are so fun, and the butterfly is beautiful too. 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. 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. woohooo! That's even better  So satisfying to use something in new and better ways! |

Started this a month ago, before our trip! The upper right corner got spilled on by my cat, so I had to cut another piece of pp and put it overtop and it's a little warped   layout whose bed is it anyway by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

craftymom101 - another lovely layout - I really like that butterfly at the top but all the embellishments around the photo block just draw the eye in kitbop - I love the teal and yellow -great combo! Doesn't look like there is too much space left in the bed - but he doesn't seem to mind! And I love the Austin quote!

Catching up on sharing recent cards... sorry my lighting is terrible today. One sheet of Christmas-ish paper for 7 cards. Honey Bee lovely layers poinsettias on vellum circles. I tried out some Paper Rose pre-made sentiment strips with these, very convenient.  May share by jo.blackford, on Flickr Red white and blue postcards for a card drive (more info on the drive in the pinned card donation thread) Scrap strip cards:  May share by jo.blackford, on Flickr Using up some random scraps after I ran out of red cardstock. The piece with the bubbles cut into it is the scrap from cutting Xmas holly berries.  May share by jo.blackford, on Flickr Create in Quads, 2 of each with stamped stars added:  May share by jo.blackford, on Flickr I stocked up on red and blue cardstock and came home with a fun HA star confetti die too. Inlaying a few contrasting stars is a bit time consuming because it turns out there are 5-7 slightly different sizes but I think they're pretty cool.  May share by jo.blackford, on Flickr The card drive requires that the cards not have any sentiments which is why some of these might seem a little unfinished. |

Starting on page 5. Linda, I love what you did with the hexagons, stars and arrows on your DS’s page. Very eyecatching. ~ Look at you doing all that cutting on your cricut. Those cards are wonderful.~ Great gingerbread cookie making. It’s fun that everyone is wearing a bright apron! ~ Your cards made with scraps are very pretty. I love your coloring on the little gnome card. ~Wonderful use of scraps on your summery page. I really like the way the strips are overlapped and layered. Love the heart border down the side. ~ Wow, way to use 10 tags on one project. That turned out so cute. I may scraplift that one. ~ Pretty SG cards and that easel card with the shaker is amazing. I’ve only done a shaker once. My sequins all stuck to the front of the plastic. I guess I need practice. Yours is beautiful. ~ Our Little Fish turned out so pretty. I love the simplicity of the background that lets the photos take center stage. Cute mermaid! ~ Love the Hands page. So perfect to frame a photo of dad in his shirt made with the hands he loves. Very sweet. ~ Your Monarch page is lovely. The Halloween paper is the perfect color for these beautiful photos. ~ I always love to see Scouting photos. Just seeing those uniforms makes me miss my Cub Scouts so much. Great page. ~ Oh, my goodness, the Cinderella Ball photos are adorable. Just so very cute. She’s a beauty.~ Your pink and green hexagons work so well as a background. Very pretty.~ I love that grouping of cards you made earlier in the month. Every design is so different. Did you have sketches or did you design them all yourself? Very nice! ~ I caught most of your layouts in the Party Sharing thread. I didn’t see the ones in the pink and brown papers. Those look so nice. I loved those papers and still have a few! ~ I love that background on the Rainy Day page. I think your Shrek page is amazing. I love the photo of her dressed as Fiona. Fun times!~ Love the stripes on your birthday page, Wish Big. Pretty color scheme. ~ I love the Pioneer outfit you made for your DD. It brought back lots of memories of sewing outfits for my girls for Pioneer Day parades each year. Love that bonnet! ~ I love seeing your girls at a young age in the scout and school pages. They will love these. craftymom101, I love the big photos of your produce. That’s a great grid page. Great job on your boating page. It looks like a lovely day for a ride on the water. ~ Your Exploring Silva page is so pretty. I love all the layering and tucking that you do on your layouts. Wonderful. joblackford, your cards are amazing. I will catch them in your gallery. kitbop, I caught your layouts in the gallery.

This was a fun card to make. I think I will make this pattern again for some family weddings. My DGS who was married last weekend is a big truck guy, so I knew he would enjoy it.  Hitched grammadee, if I posted my layouts on the Party thread, is that good enough or do they need to be posted here too? |

nylene - that is *stinkin'* cute. That's the highest level of cuteness I can express! joblackford - I have that quads stencil and will most definitely be stealing the added stars idea! Gorgeous. The inlaid stars - you only inlaid a few, right? RIGHT?  Cause that looks insanely intricate (and wonderful).
