Here's my first page. It's a co-ordinating page for a pocket page that has quite a bit of colour so I wanted to keep it quite neutral.  Mann's Chinese Theater |

Here's my first page. It's a co-ordinating page for a pocket page that has quite a bit of colour so I wanted to keep it quite neutral. Mann's Chinese Theater The photo has quite a lot of colour and a lovely dark sky too, so the neutrals work well. I like how they seem to pull their colour from the buildings, so it feels more together too. And somehow I can't help but think of comforting milky coffee or hot chocolate, and I feel all warm and fuzzy  |

I made a valentine for my bff. I had to sneak that scrap with the bird on it because I love it so much. The grey pieces were printables I've had for a long time. Never thought I would use them. I'm good for something then - providing the reason to use something  I think it's a lovely card, using supplies you have and making them work. i was laughing too  |

Here is my take on the template. It is colour overload, but the paper line is called Family Frenzy so I had to use it. I like your colour choices Chinagirl828 .  LOAD7 by Jacqueline Bruce, on Flickr |

jane this was a challenging (in a good way) for me. I hope I did your awesome template justice in my sick state! You know I don't feel well when I willingly use GOLD! I am SO a no gold girl!

crystalb , I love ALL the colours you used here, including the gold. This looks like a really fun line. What was it? These are from two new Recollection lines at Ms right now. Modern Pop and something else. They were all from 6X6 paper pads. They fit these pictures so much! |

crystalb I really like that you also tilted all your embellishments so they are straight on the paper squares - I don't remember seeing that here yet but I like it!

I couldn't resist one more for this challenge. Journaling is on a tag in the glassine bag behind the photo mats and talks about why we decided to get married overseas.  our wedding |

jane this was a challenging (in a good way) for me. I hope I did your awesome template justice in my sick state! You know I don't feel well when I willingly use GOLD! I am SO a no gold girl! I'm sorry you're feeling ill - and having to use gold too, well that's too much!  Of course you did the template justice, and like Chinagirl828 says, lining up the word strips with the squares is a different look. It's a fun page, it made me smile |

It took me longer than I wanted to finish my 7 layouts for day 3 and get back over to this thread. JaneB, this template is gorgeous. I can't wait to use it. stinkerbelle, gorgeous layout. I love the brightness of those papers. grammadee, love, love, love that page. I like the black background. It makes your colors pop.

I know I'll have the same problem with my paper trimmer too. patin, fabulous job. I love all of the orange. woodysbetty, gorgeous page. I love your photo and how your layout is about the superbowl. msliz, wonderful take on the sketch and gorgeous layout! I love that you turned it. kiwigirl, beautiful page and take. KikiPea, awe, what a little doll! Fun interpretation. Chinagirl828, wow! Beautiful page. I love the stars in box places and the colors and well everything. 2nd page: beautiful.

jane I loved your template. I decided to use vellum for the squares. I love how it softens this paper. It was really difficult to get a good photo of it between the vellum , the glitter and the gold foil. The photos are my girls last St. Patrick's Day.

scrapincin oh wow, love your page! I really really like the randomly placed photos amongst all the black! jeremysgirl fabulous colors! Love the addition of the floral paper and how your words are lined up top to bottom. Awesome page! DawnMcD your vellum idea is so clever! the gold glitter adds the perfect amount of sparkle and contrasts well with the softness of the vellum, and I really love the golden ticket tucked in! fabulous page!

scrapincin Taking screenshots was a brilliant idea. Your page is stunning! jeremysgirl I love the use of the kraft background with your bright squares. The title is awesome, too! DawnMcD Using vellum for your squares was a great idea. Your daughters are lovely. I'm working on the This or That challenge and using torn vellum on my layout. I haven't used vellum for ages!

JaneB This was a tough challenge! I changed it up a bit. Since my squares were so busy, I used journaling strips in place of words on the squares.  Template Tuesday 1 by Mikk Lynn, on Flickr

My iPad is having trouble with Flickr. I tried a couple of times to post this comment, mikklynn: What a cool experience! I love that you used these papers for this page. They really up the ante for page excitement. Putting the journaling strips in a block on top of the squares like this really draws the focus to the story and the photo. |

I think it's a lovely card, using supplies you have and making them work.
