a couple more with the Pinkfresh box - if I turn it all into layouts, then I don't need to figure out where to store it, right? That's so true!! I'm enjoying seeing all your lovely Pinkfresh pages. The colors are so pretty and you've gotten so many pages finished lately. You must be having fun with your new supplies  kitbop I smiles when I saw that Shimelle "little bit dramatic" title - so fun. I love your dance layouts - dancers know how to pose for good photos! and your pages about your kids being silly always make me smile. The Canadian puddle ice rink pages are excellent! Love the bold reds and Canadianisms and wow, I just love the idea of a big puddle freezing! I'm sorry I'm so behind on looking at everyone's layouts and commenting. I really enjoy seeing what everyone is making and appreciate the encouragement from you all. |

craftymom101 your pages are beautiful - great photos, especially that elk, and I love how you pull together the layers and textures. And it's fun to see pages about places I've been. Le May and Northwest Trek are both fun places to spend some time.

But of course I have cut that strip off and can't remember the manufacturer. Just know it is old...  March '25 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Wanted to try my hand at a shaped page for one of the challenges, and had found this in my Travel stash, so used it for this page. The woodgrain in the background is from my coffee table:  Getting There 1 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr And here is the facing page for that one: POINTS: five 12x12 pages (100), created & shared (10). Eleven pages for the Donna challenge (11).

Had fun making this. Hope he likes it. He kinda rolled his eyes when I asked him to pose, and looked confused when he saw the photo with the two lamp posts side by side without the numbers on top...  11 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr POINTS: Eight 12x12 pages (160), created & shared (16). Seventeen photos scrapped for the Donna challenge (17). P-13 chipboard, T-12 upcycled cards, T-20 fussy cut 1"s, W/T-15 Happy, Th-14 birthday at WDW, N/S-11 numbered pp. Total:199 |

From the crop: last two LO's and a card. Haven't really tackled the theme park pages yet, but these are a couple of pages about hanging out at the resort.  vacation homework by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I took my Spellbinders Glimmer System for the group to play with. I am still having trouble releasing the heated plate, so they helped me with my own foiling. Used the sunshine rays on a photo mat here. As to the squares on point, I have clearly been watching way too much Paige Evans and Allison Davis! No stitching, though...  Born to swim by Gramma Dee, on Flickr And then I used it again on this grad card, plus a sentiment plate and matching die. The ray plate obviously shifted here, but I like the look of the randomly doubled rays. POINTS: four 12x12 pages (80) and one 5x7 card (15), created & shared (10). Thirteen photos scrapped for the Donna challenge (13). C/M-2 blue & orange, C/M-6 summer colours,. Total: 120

Seems like I haven't commented here for AGES. Starting on Page 9: I have left love on Flickr for alot of your cards, joblackford. but your rainbow bridge ones are some of my favourites. That rainbow looks gorgeous no matter how you used it, but love how you turned that rainbow arch over on its side to make a bridge and those gorgeous luminous colours. Your hockey pages are super fun, kitbop, from the delightful pic's of the family on ice to the striking reds of the papers and extras. seating them on that Basic Grey piece was genius. I continue to be amazed by the detailed nature photos you and your family take, Linda, and how you always scrapbook them as the stars of the page with just the right little extras to coordinate. The wedding pages are really well done--they look like pages in a magazine. And of course I love the kitty pages. And those spring cards are just SO CUTE! craftymom101, your masculine pages are STUNNING! Love the torn edges, the inking and splatters, the depth you achieve with the layering and use of chipboard. Whether you go for fun or majestic, you always hit the mark! Now moving on to page 10: craftymom101, the Jacksonville pages are so vibrant and happy. LOVE that four quarter design--so different--and the way you layered on all the happy papers with the one focal photo on the other page is phenomenal! These pages are main character energy on steroids! Somehow you do the same thing with the Cedar House page, but with a much more timeless result--love how that page emotes a sense of enduring connection. They make me want to grab an ephemera pack and just start piling the pieces until they burst off the page... Sorry for flooding the thread with my crop pages, but finally done, and with family commitments this weekend I don't see myself playing with paper until sometime next week--which is also next MONTH, and next QUARTER! It has been fun in Q-1 I hope all the talented Peas continue to craft and share your creations with us. |

I got a little bit behind on my sharing, hopefully I don't miss anything or share something I've already posted! I put some Fairy Garden cards up on the SLOC thread but these were some extras I made that weren't from the sketch:  March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr I made a bunch of stenciled balloon cards for Cards for Cubs with hand drawn faces:  March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr  March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr I'll post closeup pictures in the past Sheetload thread but I made 10 more Snow Much Fun cards to round out the box I sent to Cards for Cubs - 240 cards this year I'm getting better at just typing up my own sentiment to suit what I need. This sketch was perfect for using up a bunch of 2" strip leftovers from a previous project.  March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr |

I finished a crochet project I'll share here since I'm claiming lots of challenge points for getting it finished. The pattern is called a virus shawl and it's a lot easier to make than it looks. My first time making something that isn't rectangular.  March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr These cards were all about using things that I had pre-made and stashed in my binder for someday. Very quick to make because so much was already ready to go. Very satisfying. For Altenew Celebrating Parents card drive:  March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr And another stash clear-out project. I paged through my stash binder until I found a bunch of something to put on cards. These cats are very fun even though my coloring is not at all fancy or skillful. There are only 3 different cat stamps but I tilt one in 2 different directions to make it look like 4 different kitties.  March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr |
