Made a graduation card--my handwriting wasn't so hot, but I highly doubt the recipient will care.  The image of the chalkboard, books, & locker is a separate layer, though it's hard to see that here. (Wow, is there a way to make an image smaller on postimage, or do you just need to shrink it before uploading? I felt like it was huge, so I switched to flickr instead.)

I did a couple of double page layouts today. This one is for the "Moshpit" theme team challenge, to scrap a concert you went to.  On another thread, we were discussing border punches. Someone mentioned Bira border punches, and when I googled, I found one that I really loved - the Royal Petal Deep Edger border punch. I decided to make my own digital 'border punch', similar to the Bira one.  |

I finished some “happymarks” for a charity - bookmarks, but not book related. They ask for uplifting messages. They’re seeming like a good format for watercolor practice.  June share by jo.blackford, on Flickr |

In case you haven't seen it, there's a fun challenge on the challenge board for Double Stuff Weekend June Edition. The three prompts are: ~ Create and use a page kit using the products on the list ~ Use the sketch provided ~ Use the colour palette provided Here is the layout I did using all three prompts:  |

I am so far behind on this thread. I don't think I've posted anything- I need to get a few on here before June is over.
I need to comment on all of yours but that means I have to go back 8 pages and take notes.
AussieMeg, I always love your layouts. Such nice layers and clusters and colors. Every time I see one of your layouts I want to take up digital scrapping, but I'm so far into paper scrapping that it will double my scrap expenditures. It always looks so fun, though. I love the versatility of it and I am so impressed you made your own border punch pattern.
Linda, I'm always amazed at your output. You put me to shame. I like that you try new things a lot. I also love seeing photos of your kitties. I love a kitty scrapbook page.
joblackford, I'm also amazed at your output. Your cards are always so beautiful. I like all of the different techniques you use. What do you do with all of those cards?
craftymom101, I especially look forward to your pages. You know I'm a huge NJFB fan and I'm always excited to see what you do with the kits. I love all of the layering and clusters you do. You give me great ideas about how to use the products.
I know there are a lot more of you on here but I don't know how to scroll back without losing what I've written so far. Just know that I do look at everyone's layouts and appreciate them. This is always my favorite thread.

AussieMeg - great job with the concert photos - I always find that type of lighting to make photos hard to scrap but yours are perfect! and that digital border punch? Awesome! Well done. I love the curves on the bottom of the layout as well. joblackford - the fairy garden cards are adorable! And the bookmarks are lovely - love the watercolouring AussieMeg - gorgeous layout and I'm amazed that you used all three doublestuff challenges in one! artbabe - thank you craftymom101 -love all the clusters and that's a very cool car! grammadee - 11 pages while out of town for non-scrappy reasons? That's pretty amazing! Great sports pages as always. As many sports pages as you scrap, you still manage to make each one fresh and different! Congrats to your graduate - she's beautiful and talented and your pages are a great tribute!

I'm also amazed at your output. Your cards are always so beautiful. I like all of the different techniques you use. What do you do with all of those cards? Thanks  Almost all of them go to charities. A lot go to Bring Smiles to Seniors, but there are some that go to foster kids charities like Cards for Cubs as well. The happymarks are also for a children's charity. |

These are a couple of layouts I've done during the week. This one is a bit different for me, using dark drab colours. I used a kit that Traci Reed offered for free, called Tempest. It's a great kit, and I'm glad I have been able to use it.  And this one was done using a new kit by Dunia that I bought last Weekend: Everyday Project - Days Like These.  |

My apologies to all the refupeas - I have not peeked into this thread or the gallery in a couple of months and I've missed so much art. I've commented in the gallery on things from this page and will hopefully keep up (for 2 more weeks. seriously, shake your head at me). Linda - I hadn't seen these 2 pages, and I love the tools on the DIY page - so adorable! and I love the picture of you eating out, really pretty! dig-it-al - really fabulous, my "type" of layout with clusters and tons of interesting things to look at. The car/day does look like a blast and I think you captured it well with your design/embellies! |

I have flooded the gallery because I've finally photographed the pages I've made. Most of them are a camping "chapter" in my 2021 album, so I'm trying to make them feel connected without sticking to exactly the same supplies. Then there are couple of more random pages.  layout eviction notice by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout wobbly fun by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout the bigger they are by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout murder ball by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout lets hang out by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout dropping anchor by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout a mitzadventure by kirstendrew, on Flickr (title is a pun on our mitzubishi!)  layout chasing sunshine by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout eye of the tiger by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

Catching up for the first half of June... Linda, I get such a kick out of your pages, both of special occasions and of everyday life. The expressions on those cat's faces on the March LO are priceless. Is that a LEGO bunny on the Easter page? You did a great job on those "fearless" cards. Love the delicate look of the soft inking and the diecut negative overlay. The black/gold combo for the Bee Happy card is really striking, and the fun folds look, well, FUN. Your DD does look amazing in that photo, and I love the spring colours and starburst pattern framing her. Great offset matting and tearing on that kitty nap page, and I see no problem with the enamel dot placement. Congrats on using the tools to build the fence! Wonder what that supervisor was thinking has he/she watched? Oh, and good to see YOU on all these pages! melanell, you HAND WROTE that sentiment? Amazing! I would have been proud to write like that on a chalkboard or whiteboard when I was teaching! And I love the layered vintage school images. craftymom101, I love the different views of your photos on the Mountain Roads page. And of course how you do magic with all the pretty papers and extras! Super page, as always... AussieMeg and kitbop, there is love on Flickr. Hoping to hop over there next to look at gramma's and joblackford's cards. |

I don't have much to share right now because I've been upcycling cards I've received into new cards for charities. But I was pretty proud of crafting this one. I think the nativity scene was from the inside of a card that got upcycled years ago. The 2nd photo shows where the "a-side" of the background came from  A Star Wars themed (birthday?) card! http://instagram.com/p/C8Pp9mIpUAy |

Love that masculine Old Reliable page. You document such interesting things, and always use the perfect papers. And I love that you are scrapping you and your kids from a few years ago: bet you are enjoying all the memories. Love the outdoor papers and those cute little critters. What a cool way to use that Star Wars card, joblackford! |
