(Psst…it’s still Q3: July - Sept) I know. But we didn’t have teams in July and August, so we rolled September into Q-4. |

[ETA: bold is mine] Thanks for the explanation (although challenging to my left-brained self with a finance background 😀). Hope all team participants have a scrappy good time the next four months… |

What an eclectic and wonderful mix of pages, Linda! LOVE those spooky cards! So bright and interesting. You know I love your gnomie with pumpkins, but his beard is extra special! And your takes on the SKETCHtember challenges are spot on! So cool that you scrapped those Epiphony pic's from so many years ago! |

Linda, I KNEW you would be on fire once I put you on the opposite team from me again LOL. Great pages. I love how you found and used the perfect papers in concert for each of them. The red border in the train page and the wide dividing strips allow you to use different lively patterns without it every overwhelming the eye. And of course the colours and patterns are always a perfect representation of your story. Your pages may be Clean & Simple, but never ordinary.

More wonderful pages, Linda. My fav is the gramma page--the yellow/black combo is really striking and the word and icon message of "sweet as honey" is perfect. And you may not like the Spring page, but I think it has a great balance with the sweet pic of her and then the flower bed. Of course the floral pp and the butterflies all add to the mood too--really pretty. |

Linda, I love the clean & simple style of the award and train pages, well laid out. And the switch to FUN on the climbing page! That one photo of her in the air is amazing! The vertical stripes emphasize the height, and the flowers and starbursts mimic the hand holds. Awesome!

cannmom , that's beautiful. I know quite a few people who have ventured to Iceland this year! It seems to be a popular destination. grammadee , the two pager is awesome! That's not YOU on the horse is it?   Linda , you are prolific as always! I wish I had your energy. I really admire your persistence in getting all the photos scrapped. The fact you also journal on most of them is really inspiring! Those Halloween cards are adorable! Love how they come together with the corner connections. Here's two Halloween cards I did for my youngest grands:   Am working on fall cards with the other two card panels.

Love your fall cards, MDscrapaholic. very inpiring. I don't have those cool layered stencils, but I did pull out a couple of leaf stencils I do have, and am hoping to make some card backgrounds with them this week. grammadee , the two pager is awesome! That's not YOU on the horse is it? Not I  . Have not been on a horse this century. And could never ride like that. This is my ddil from Calgary. She barrel races and ds does team roping. They don't come up to this end of the province often but when they do we like to watch them compete. cannmom there is love for your beautiful page in the Gallery. |

Linda great to see you off to a scrappy start. Love that you were able to use some vintage supplies to go fill in gaps in your past albums. That must've been very satisfying. grammadee love all the movement on your pages. Those shots from barrel races are so cool. cannmom lovely colors and textures on your Iceland geyser page. Those will be some fun photos to scrap. MDscrapaholic I love your fall leaves and how you turned them into Halloween cards. You gave me an idea for a patterned paper I have to use. I have been working on some of my challenges. I've already failed at a new technique (using markers and a waterbrush to try and stamp/paint an image) and thrown it in the shredder so I can't claim sharing points for it, lol. And I just made my own red cardstock with ink and water spritzing and learned some things about the physics of water droplets in white kitchens. I also learned that a Magic Eraser will clean watery red CP ink off white grout, thank goodness!

I made 6 Noel cards (2nd picture) using the negative space pieces from die cuts layered over foiled polka dot red cs (I didn't foil it, it came like that). I added some die cuts to fill in the center of the O. I'm experimenting with many ways to use the Noel dies and their negative space pieces. I really love the folk art inlay of the die (first picture) and I'm working on different color schemes for the inlay, using up scraps. http://instagram.com/p/Cwt5WGmOiL9 |
