Wow grammadee, awesome LO's! Love all the photos on the left and yet there's still white space for the eye to rest and the papers on the right are lush, the stripes and hexagons I love and the little clutser with the title and banners, awesome!  |

I have been buying old stash online and got a collection pack of MME, Kate & Co. So many beautiful papers but there's only 1 of each and they're great on both sides! So I did a grid of punched squares to show off my favourites.  Taking 14 for this one, 1 for a LO, 1 for sharing, 1 for Ketchup - Construction (metal & wood), 1 for a Selfie, 1 for Grid, 1 for July Stash Challenge - using something unopened (the paper pack), 1 for Nuvos, 1 for Word-Up, 1 for Smaller than 4x6 Photo, 1 for Banners, 1 for an Arrow, 1 for Fasten-ate (staples and brads), 1 for a Manu - MME and one for Put A Dot On It cause there's enamel glitter dots in the top left and bottom right corners. |

This one has taken me like three days to add the embellishments to. Every time I'd think I was done I'd look at it the next morning and think it needed something else which is how it ended up with all the green accents today. This covers the travel, get outside, song lyrics, selfie love, put a dot on it, and stash challenges.  |

Chinagirl828, kiwigirl, grammadee - I am in love with all of your colour choices and styles. Chinagirl - your colours are always soothing and pleasing and sophisticated, and your layouts match, such great placement choices. kiwigirl - you work the fun colours so well, and I love your clusters and the way you dot things to accentuate whereas I would use a plain old matte and it really takes things up a notch! grammadee - your layouts always "pop" to me, you have a knack of contrast that makes a person stop and look twice!

Loving your sampler page, kiwigirl. All those colours and patterns work really well together, and the black Nuvo's and other elements really keep it all together. Loving all the little bits piled on around the photo. So fun! Chinagirl828, that page may have stayed on your counter for a few days, but it definitely turned out lovely. I love all the clean lines of the design with the different colours and patterns and script of the papers and the scattering of hearts and other bits. Those beach and water pages are gorgeous and fun, kitbop! Love those bubbles and splatters on that first page, and all the summery elements and cameras on both pages. Great clustering, too. I started a page this morning, but after several interruptions I can't get my head in the game, so it will sit on my scrap counter until I can figure out just what it needs. Feeling like I may need to fire up the Silhouette, but haven't used that for awhile and don't have the attention span to figure it out right now. |

I'm baaaaaaack! It's the weekend, rainy and cool, perfect scrapping weather! Y'all are doing such great layouts here, I love them all! I'm trying to like each one after I ohhh and ahhh over them. We have such a talented bunch here! Last year for my birthday I asked for a professional photograph of all four grandkids and I got it! Since I'm doing a scrapbook for each one, of course I had to scrap that photo four times, so they each have one. I asked for the same thing for my birthday this year and got it, only I have FIVE grands now! (That will be my next project once I get the photos printed!)     |

How creative is THAT,?! anniefb, those cards are re ally nice, from the pretty flowers to the interactive fun! I have seen box cards before, but that little girl on the bike popping up is VERY cool!

Itās great you had those themed things hanging around; you put them to good use here. And they say hoarding is a bad thing, pfft! kiwigirl love love your K&Co. page! I really like all the goodies popping out of the top of your photo and those fun butterflies and acrylic pieces! Chinagirl828 so so pretty! I really like the soft colors with all the b&w! kitbop lovely pages! I really love the background on vacation vibes and all the fun bright colors and stitching details! I really like the design on hustle; especially the circular bits to balance with all the straight edges. The little sun is adorable too! MDscrapaholic your 4 pages are fabulous! Iām impressed with how you made them all so different. Theyāll be a great addition to each of the albums and I definitely canāt wait to see your party of 5 versions! anniefb you are a card-making Picasso, girl, love them all! My favorite is the pop up box; so so adorable!

kitbop gorgeous pages, I've left you some love in the gallery. MDscrapaholic I love how you've created four different versions but still have some pieces the same across different layouts, like the floral on the first two and the alpha thickers on the second and third. I also find it interesting how the shirt on the young boy on the left looks decidedly more green on the green based papers, and more turquoise on the more blue based papers. anniefb Lovely cards. I really like the scene in the pop up box card but the ocean card is my favourite - so cute!

Wow Chinagirl828, I love the colours you pick for your LO's, they're always so beautiful and subtle! I love all the green accents, they're lush! kitbop I love the colours you pick too, always so fresh and vibrant! I love those circles on your first LO, is it a mask & embossing paste? And the pink border and strips under the photos, so awesome! Love the second one too the clusters around your titles look fantastic! MDscrapaholic I love all 4 LO's, couldn't even pick a favourite they're all brilliant! Oh anniefb I love the black & white stripes on your first card and the pop-up one is seriously amazing! The whale one is superb too, your work is so detailed and amazing, what lucky people to receive your cards! |

woodysbetty those are some beautiful cards! my favorite is the one with the doily; so simple in terms of amount of product used, but very elegant  and all these amazing cards on this thread are why i don't make them myself! for some reason, cards and pages are vastly different to my mind, and i just can't wrap it around cardmaking. which is totally cool because i never send anyone cards anyway

those circles on your first LO, is it a mask & embossing paste? , that's a old(er) die I have of interlocking circles and I adore it, I just watercoloured the paper first then die cut. Adhering them is a PITA but they get used regularly. MDscrapaholic - awesome work, it would be so much fun to take a picture I love and scrap it 4 different ways!!! You didn't do one for yourself yet tho? anniefb, love love love the cards, the fresh clean colours. woodysbetty - great cards, love the design. Especially the butterfly one. Although TBH, my first thought when I glanced was "why did she put the butterfly upside down"? Hee hee, I haven't had enough coffee yet! |

kitbop , my photo is an 8x10 and is hanging on the wall in the den. I guess at some point I'll probably scrap it but right now I just like looking at it everyday.  I love those circles on the Fancy layout and also the placement of the flair! I don't use flair much because it makes my pages so bulky.
