I'm back. Linda, I always enjoy your kitty pages and the Christmas one was awesome. I am really impressed with how many unique LO's you got out of that same page design. craftymom101, that Family Memories page is stellar! LOVE all the happy colours, the spritzing, the way you can get so many fun elements on a page and still leave it feeling light and airy! Still have not made it to Flickr. Prob won't now until later this evening or tomorrow morning. Will catch your LO with the others when I get there, gramma. |

I got two layouts down yesterday while my internet was down The gnome is from Create With Sarah, the circles are printables from somewhere on Pinterest I think, lol. They started life as decorations (if you look carefully at the photos you'll see some). For the July Donna challenge  And this one is from Shimelle's Half & Half class.  |

More fun pages, Linda! I love the retro colours and patterns. Your photos of the flower and the birdie are fabulous, and their pages really highlight that. Those diecut playground shapes are perfect for that LO, both the shapes and the colours. That starburst background is AMAZING! Especially with the black background and accents. |

Thank you grammadee - I had fun making the starburst - at least once I figured out how to cut the rays Struggled a bit with the wedges on this card also. Inspired by a Debbie Sanders card sketch. Not sure about the PP - might be Laura Ashley but  Dragonfly is an old EK Success Whale of a Punch. Circles are also punches. Sentiment is stamped - Mama Elephant, I believe  |

Seven cards for me today, after a 3 hour cardmaking session with my niece. I played with two card kits--a Vicki Boutin "Bold & Bright" kit and one I received free with a UK magazine. I didn't look for instructions, just started grabbing and gluing the elements onto 5x7 card bases. This is the front and the inside of the same card. (I put the shaker element on the INSIDE)  shake it up card by Gramma Dee, on Flickr For the Happy cake Day card for my soon to be 88 yr old brother, I am going to put a fire truck sticker inside and a message--just in case...  July birthdays by Gramma Dee, on Flickr And four more, for upcoming birthdays in my family and in the Peas... POINTS Seven cards (75), created & shared (14). P-7 sequins, S/I-5 stars, S/I-9 circles, S/I-16 bd cake. Total: 88

Thanks for the love on Flickr grammadee  I'll answer your questions here, if that's OK, since it's easier to link the products. The sampler paper pack with the birds and letters is this one: waffleflower.com/products/special-delivery-samplerI bought the die set that is sized to cut out the postage stamp elements to layer on the other papers. I didn't get the matching stamp set which also has the birds and envelope. The post box is from Hero Arts - an affordable small set with no fussy extra bits: heroarts.com/products/di773-us-mailbox-fancy-die-c?_pos=5&_sid=214e4f6fc&_ss=r but I'd also be happy to send you a few mailboxes and envelopes if you'd like some. I tend to cut them in bulk when I have some good colors in my scrap bin. |

 Lucky #4 by BreetheFlea, on Flickr Very quick and simple page about our luck with dishwashers. It's going into my 8.5 by 11 "home improvement" album... after I fix the date. Why did I write August and not July? |

I agree with Linda, breetheflea, I love that you have a home improvement album. I have made pages about our home projects too and they can be quite useful for reference too. Let’s hope that dishwasher lasts longer than the last one. It bugs me that they’re almost disposable these days. |

This one is for 16 March Sketchy Saturday - just the right hand side  This one uses a PageMaps sketch and some old PP - I'm not sure what brand - and I pulled out my Pages by Design templates for the flowers and also to size my photos  and finally this one barely qualifies as scrapped with just those little strips of PP on the top left and bottom right edges but I wanted to use ALL the photos, lol  |

This one is heavily inspired by a layout I saw on Pinterest (but can't re-find, lol). Diecuts are Cricut A Child's Year; PP and alphas are Piggy Tales Thumbelina  |

gramma I love your two-page spreads! I’m working on a two-page spread now and yours are so inspiring! You fit so many photos and fun embellishments on each page.  This is my first layout with Shimelle’s new collection, Reasons to Smile!

Awesome photos for Rugby and I love the action diecuts! craftymom101 -very pretty - I love those blue thickers and all of your clusters and what a great family photo.

Thank you so much craftymom101 - I can't take too much credit for the design since it's from a Shimelle class although I did have to adapt it to a rectangle Here's my next layout from the same Shimelle class, different lesson  and the final layout from the Shimelle class  |

Will be back later to leave some love. Two cards to share today. This one I finished this morning. I wanted to make ds's 50th bd card a little special, so I used a pop up die for the inside (on the right). The greeting was printed on Neenah cs with MS word.  a little advice by Gramma Dee, on Flickr And this one I put together just after my cardmaking session last week, using left over VB pieces and some scraps: POINTS: two cards (30), created & shared (4).T-17 fun folds, N/S-1 big focal. total: 36.

 Garden by BreetheFlea, on Flickr Finished another one. Scrapping is very slow lately... The paper was one I purged and gave to my kids years ago, and then one of them cleaned their room recently and it was in the give away box and ended up back in my scrap stuff just in time for this layout. The journaling looks crooked or maybe my photo is crooked, or both, things you notice after you take a picture and put it online... I will go back and look at all the lovely layouts on this thread soon. |

Love how your kitty pages show all their quirks and personalities, Linda. And I love all the risks you have been taking, stepping out of your comfort zone to use starbursts and triangles, taking on those classes, and knocking them out of the park. Love that page with the circle grid broken up with the square focal photo. And great job with the flower cluster on the Hello card. Great nature photos and sweet pic's of the girls--love the one with the horse hugs, and she is so proud of that pretty purple dress. Such great memories to document! craftymom101 your page design is--as usual--spectacular! Love how you use all those fun papers and elements, yet have that giant white space to rest the eyes. Love all the happy colours, too. You see why we should never throw any scrappy supplies away, breetheflea? Such wonderful serendipity to have that paper fall into your hands just when you need it. love your little garden clusters! I am always noticing flaws once I have photographed a card or LO. Sometimes it is just the way the photo of the LO is skewed by how I hold the phone when snapping it. gramma there is love on Flickr. |

grammadee - I LOVE your cards - especially the 50th birthday one - that's good advise right there, lol. The unicorn one is fun! Thank you for all your sweet compliments. I'm still working my way through my backlog of Shimelle classes. breetheflea - perfect background paper and obviously it was meant to be. My layouts are almost always crooked in photographs and while that is also sometimes true irl, sometimes it is just the angle of the photo.
