Hey crafty Peas! Please share your creations from July and August, 2025, in this thread. And don't be shy about leaving some love here for others who share.
I am off making memories today to scrap later, but by the end of this week, I need to have a batch of bd and anniversary cards put together, so should have something to share, soon.
Can't wait to see what YOU bring to the thread! |

 Squirt Guns by BreeTheFlea, on Flickr My 2nd layout of July. I didn't post the other one because I don't like it  I swear this layout is not crooked in person, or maybe it is and I need to go fix it. After taking the photo I added some splatters in the top left and bottom right corners. |

grammadee - I love that grade 6 layout - fab photos and the way you extended that sketch to a second page with the matching backgrounds and the photos strips tying them together - perfect!

This card is not even done. I decided to just devote an hour per night to it. It is almost done, though. It has a lot of new-to-me techniques and is a cardlift from I think Artsy Island Girl on YT. The sailboat and greeting are not attached, and the 3D knot panel and main panel are also not attached yet. It will have "Thanks for lighting the way" stamped on the inside. It's also missing a "from the crew" stamp under the Happy Birthday. My plan is to make the sailboat a wobbler thing with a foam dot, a strip of acetate, and a penny. Or I might call it good and just glue it because this card has taken hours. I did learn a lot though. We shall see.  Untitled by Seanna., on Flickr The light mechanism is installed (obviously) works and is good to go.  Untitled by Seanna., on Flickr |

Off to a great start grammadee - like Linda said, your cards are always so specifically designed for the folks you’re gifting to. I’m sure they appreciate them. breetheflea I can never figure out if the photo is crooked or if it’s my actual work. Love the circles. wordfish that card looks like a TON of work! And amazing. Very cool. |

I just finished another small blanket using the Canalboat crochet-along color scheme. It’s a diagonal, corner to corner, granny stripe which was a fun new-to-me technique. http://instagram.com/p/DL5MR2URz6t |

 Midnight by BreeTheFlea, on Flickr This one was buried on my desk for a few days, waiting for journaling. Now it's complete!  Page 1 DC by BreeTheFlea, on Flickr The explanation for this is on Flickr... page one (of 35) is done! I didn't put the date on here, we flew overnight and can't decide which one to use... we left on June 14th, landed on the 15th and then there were time zones. I'll figure it out eventually. |

Now that I have had a little time to paper craft, I guess I should share some of what came out of that time. for today, I have two cards and two LO's. For the cards, I was motivated by new supplies. The "Thanks" stamp & die and butterfly arrived in an RAK from a Pea. And my Jaded Blossom gnome pets die sets arrived this week.  Thanks by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  you bring the birthday by Gramma Dee, on Flickr For the LO's, I was motivated by my latest batch of photos. Canada Day is always fun to scrap  Happy Canada Day 2025 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr And I made a special trip out to visit "the kids" at the lake so I could get some beachy pic's. Had some water fun of my own, yesterday, using inks and water to enhance the theme. angel97701 , I have no idea what a SUP is, but with the expression on my dgs's face when I called him to let me take some pic's, it made me think of the expression 'S up? (What's up?) so I went with that as my title here. Hope it works... POINTS: two 5x7 cards (30) and four 12x12 pages (80), created & shared (12). Twenty photos scrapped for the Donna challenge (20). P-23 foil border stickers, P-26 doily, S/I-15 animals, C/M-3 monochrome, T-1 splatters, T-18 wet blending, W/T-9 stamped greeting, W/T-10 large greeting, Th-2 beach, Th-9 Canada Day, Th-11 on the water, Th-31 community event, N/S-7 tiny photos, N/S-9 group photo.

 grammadee SUP is Stand Up Paddle board, which in your layout--they are kneeling  So it is PERFECT!!! The embellishment shows how it can be paddled. It's good for a core work-out, and in some cases a huge balance exercise.
Some amazing work here! Peaple have been busy! |

wordfish that lighthouse card with the working light is really cool! Love the ship on the waves, too. joblackford your baby quilts are really fun and bright, and they look like a LOT of work. WTG! There is love on flickr for your pages and cards, breetheflea and gramma. Note to angel97701: there was quite a gusty wind that day which was pretty unpredictable. Dd often stands on the board, and dgs does sometimes, but not that day. They just call it a "paddle board", but when else was I going to get to use that sticker?

 Frozen Yogurt by BreeTheFlea, on Flickr The life of a scrapbooker... you start a layout intending to use ice cream paper, and then can't find any (did I put it somewhere "special"?), decide to use a popsicle border strip instead, and that doesn't even end up on the final layout... at least I finally used some of this really old Fancy Pants paper. Back from when Fancy Pants wasn't weird. |

 Grad Photo by BreeTheFlea, on Flickr I took horrible graduation photos, so bought the one from the graduation photographer. DD pointed out as I was asking what to write on here, that she's being photobombed by George Washington |

DD pointed out as I was asking what to write on here, that she's being photobombed by George Washington Great picture and layout though. Getting graduation that are decent is almost impossible. Grandson just graduated from Sac State - the ceremony was held and the Sacrament Kings arena with seating so far away the only semi usable photos were taken from the jumbo tron |
