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). YES, I only inlaid a few! I am not insane!  I stuck a contrasting panel of cardstock behind and them inlaid a few stars in a third color. Thank you |

a couple of cards from the Cricut Card Summit This one I used a PE cut file for as the presenter used a Cricut Design Space file and my Cricut doesn't work with design space  This one is more purple irl - I couldn't get the sentiment to cut smoothly so I stamped instead  |

I'm all caught up in my pregnancy journal (6x8 sn@p album) as these pictures were from this weekend. I used a little flip-flap window for an extra photo panel.  21 weeks by scrappy rabbit, on Flickr |

Linda, I love the flower on that card. I have that cut file but haven't used it yet. You did a wonderful job! Love the daisy floral die cut on the front of the 2nd card. Great sentiments on each. scrappyrabbit, I am enjoying your pregnancy journaling. I left love in the gallery.  Animal Lover

I am seriously behind in leaving love here. Time to start remedying that! Starting on page FIVE: Linda , I love your royal gnome! And that butterfly card is amazing! Did you fill all the spaces? Or did you pop the diecut butterfly onto the background and cut it out? Are the spaces inked? I love the cascading hexagons, each so lovingly cut and placed. Just bought some VB papers with hexagons on them with an idea I may--wait for it--fussy cut a few... Love the different looks of your floral cards by switching colours. Your Shimelle inspired holiday page is sweet. Love your scrappy cards: both are really fun, but I think my fav is the one with the overlapping rays. And of course I love your cute little gnome card. And speaking of scraps, your use of them on in strips and punched hearts and in tags is amazing. Such creative pages for those SG sketches! And of your trio of cards, the easel shaker is my favourite. Do you have a HAND punch? How did you do that rainbow handprint frame? Amazing with that photo! You have really been working on varying the look of your pages. Each is so unique. But you have kept your style of clean lines and your great photos continue to make each LO definitely YOU. Sweet photos of your dd's confirmation. Love the papers you chose for your hexagons, and how you overlapped them. craftymom101 , your garden page looks, well, delicious! Love the closeups of your fresh produce! And great use of the grid design to show so many views spaced out perfectly. I love the torn edges and your use of that travel stamp on your boating page. That bright yellow really brings out the blues in your photos. scrappyrabbit , nylene, joblackford there is--or will be soon--love on Flickr. |

On to page SIX: craftymom101, your Exploring Sylva is a feast for the eyes! So many cool photos of the view & the food. And so many little details all layered and clustered and calling attention to those photos! Linda, I love all the different ways you did the backgrounds on that set of cards from earlier in the month. You made awesome use of that SG graduation line with your grad photos. The green of that cap & gown is so pretty! I have commented on the Party thread about the LO's with the rays and strips, but I love how you have used scraps in so many different ways. Love the torn edges on your Friends LO, and how the dark edges of the horizontal strip really work with those vertical stripes and bring the focus in to the photos. Don't think I noticed the cute Halloween page before. Such cute pic's! And so cool to use the soft green. Love the photo arrangement on your Celebrate two pager. That's something I think I could lift for 12x12 LO's. So sweet that you are working on those photos and stories from 2009. Must feel good to relive those memories now, and that the family can now enjoy them in your books. kitbop, scrappyrabbit, joblackford, nylene there is love on Flicker. |

I love your royal gnome! And that butterfly card is amazing! Did you fill all the spaces? Or did you pop the diecut butterfly onto the background and cut it out? Are the spaces inked? Thank you grammadee. The butterfly was a cut file and I cut two additional copies but solid not cut out and trimmed those copies to back the first. I wanted the look of filling all the spaces without the work, lol Do you have a HAND punch? How did you do that rainbow handprint frame? no, no handprint punch - I only have a dozen-ish punches and they are almost all basics (circles, hearts, stars, squares). I found a solid handprint icon online (thank you google image search) and turned it into a cut file |

two more cards - it's a grey stormy day here so lighting isn't great This first one is from the Cricut Card Summit  This one is a Paige Evans cut file and I made my own envelope since it's a 5x7 card and I didn't have envelopes that size - used a cut file from Simply Crafty (the glue is still drying)  |

Linda, you are getting so much mileage from your Cricut Summit. I love the layering on each of those cards. I especially love that envelope! scrappyrabbit, that is a beautiful Death Valley page. The contour map behind the photos is such a wise choice. You have love in the gallery.   Family is Everything

Here is my grad card to go with the album. I did the folding as per a Crop & Create mini album class. Then just added stamps and stickers on each of the "pages". Our greeting will be hand written on the tag.
POINTS: one 5x7 card (15), created & shared (2). C/M-3 blue, C/M-4 yellow, C/M-6 sunrise colours, T-15 corner rounder. Total: 21

After I finished this layout, using Linda 's sketch last weekend, I decided to make a divided page to go next to it. I hate photographing the divided pages! So this shows the front and back of the divided page: they won't be facing each other in the scrapbook - they'll each face a 12x12 page about the walk in the woods.  layout delinquents by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout delinquents divided page by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

One page for me this morning. Last week I played with TCW "stencil butter", using washi tape to mask off each "ray". Was planning to use this as the base for my MAY calendar page, but decided today to use it for this photo instead. Hoping to put the May page together with grad photos after next weekend.

Linda, you are getting to be quite the Cricut pro! Love the papers you selected to cut for your cards. Love--as always--the little extras on your pages, like the gingham background and apron on the BBQ page. Nice work, too with the SG sketches! Love the balance of a feature page with a grid page. I especially like the colour combo on that lemon LO. There is love on Flickr for ya, kitbop, nylene, scrappyrabbit!

Thank you grammadee - the Cricut card summit was quite helpful The sunshine PP is Sweetwater, not sure on the others, Alphas are Frances Meyer, SG sketch  This one was inspired by an SG sketch but I went my own way... PP scraps are Reminisce and Photoplay. Stickers are Photoplay, Reminisce and Bella Blvd. Die cut is Simple Stories  And this one completes Sept 2022 - I think the PP is Paper Studio, the sewing machine die is Echo Park  |

Linda, I am always amazed at what you can do with 3 strips and some cute embellishments like your Sweet Life page. Really cute!~Love the repetition of the circles on your page with the historic building and the nature prints opposite. Love your touches of purple the same color as the flower. ~ I love the overlapping of strips on your Lunch Out page. Love the way the strip journaling balances your title. ~ Cute kitty photos with the kitty papers. I love the use of the banners and especially the way they are layered. Great look.~ I love that die cut sewing machine. It’s nice seeing you on photos and I love, love, love the decoration on the sewing machine. My old treadle has that beautiful artwork! scrappyrabbit, I’m heading for the gallery to take a look at your newest layouts. I think I caught everyone else earlier

Cause that looks insanely intricate (and wonderful). 
I stuck a contrasting panel of cardstock behind and them inlaid a few stars in a third color.
