craftykitten - love them all. LOVE how you have such strong horizontal AND vertical lines (of embellies) on Warhammer, great design. The title work on Happy Day is really fab, grabs attention, the script makes the whole layout feel pretty, when the colours and clusters have that fun vibes. So yes, a fun pretty wedding! Great snake LO, again, great designing with the boxes but overlap. stinkerbelle - wonderful LOs again! I envy your scrap drive right now! I especially like the video game LO because I have similar photos and love the clusters, and live in the sunshine because it's stunning and I love rainbows and centrally-designed layouts, but they are ALL AMAZING!

To everyone who has posted, I want to tell you how much I love seeing your fabulous work. I post a lot and love comments, so I feel bad I do not reciprocate directly, but I have a goal to learn how to do a multi person post with quotes.

Awesome pages, stinkerbelle! You really know how to use a day off work! So many pages, and all the different themes! Left love in the Gallery for each of them. I put together a quick card today to tuck into a parcel I am putting into the mail. Didn't think to photograph it before it was sealed away. Total points about 3: created the card & it had letter stickers and watercolour panel that I had cut out of another card on it. That will be the extent of my creating today: I am off to town for appointments, etc. Then back into the garden. |

Wow gramma ! Love the seaweed, it looks fabulous! And you've got so many pictures on there but still room to breathe, awesome work!  I whacked this one together. Picture is my Mum way back sometime in the late 50's when she was a bridesmaid for someone. I have scrapped this before which is why I haven't put dates any anything on here, I already have that done in an album somewhere. I'm taking 16 for this one! So simple but so many points lol! 1 for a LO, 1 for posting, 1 for Paper Pads, 1 for Watercolour (it is a watercolour paper pad hehehe! Yes I bought it on purpose this month for the challenges!), 1 for an Old Photo, 1 for Outdoors, 1 for Single-It, 1 for Word-Up, 1 for Sparkle & Shine (I used yellow glitter Nuvo Dots above the photo and also clear glitter on the 'love' word), 1 for July Bonus Challenge - Monochrome (yellow is my Mum's favourite colour which is why I used it, I wish I used a white background but the yellow paper looked really green on white for some reason!!??), 1 for Nuvos, 1 for Ketchup - Construction (wood & metal), 1 for fasten-Ate (staples and brads), 1 for July Stash Challenge - wood veneer, 1 for Arrow and 1 for Grid.  |

kiwigirl, that page with your mom's photo is GORGEOUS!!!! Love the lemon/lime watercolour and that delicate yellow border with the b&w photo and the black background. I see you got some ricrac on there, too, and some of your photo turns. All in all a beautiful dynamic page.

Claiming 12 for this one. 1 for a LO, 1 for sharing, 1 for Manu - Doodlebug, 1 for Grid, 1 for Arrow, 1 for Nuvos, 1 for Ephemera, 1 for Fasten-Ate (brads and staples as always!), 1 for July Stash Challenge - Wood Veneer, 1 for Ketchup - Construction (metal & wood), 1 for Post a Pet and 1 for Single Photo.  |

Yay me! A layout done over the work week! I like cutting my photos up and putting them in a grid, but sometimes it's hard! They just don't want to lay flat and stay where they belong until I can tape them down! I did this one over several days lol.  You can't see it in the picture, but I wrote underneath the grid in sparkle pen "Emma was so excited to be in her first dance recital - and we were excited to watch! Just four years old - she followed the music and had a big smile on her face the whole time! " |

kiwigirl I love your layouts! I have an Amazon gift card and I am going to see if I can get some Nuvos....I want to make those dots! Also, I've just realised where I 'recognise' you from - did you used to be on UK Scrappers? And your username was your cat's name?

Also, I've just realised where I 'recognise' you from - did you used to be on UK Scrappers? And your username was your cat's name? Yes! I used to be on there a lot, remember when it was really busy and there were cybercrops (I used to do classes for those) and the teams were really busy. It used to be great! I had an email from Craftellier this morning and they have Nuvos for £2 so don't pay more than that. Mind you, Amazon gift card, that's like free!  But they can be quite pricey on there. I reckon you will like Caribbean Blue, Carnation Pink, Dandelion Yellow. Also good colours are Rhubarb, Pumpkin, English Mustard, Apple Green, black & white |

UKS was when I was first into scrapbooking....I loved the cybercrops, it was all so different then! I haven't been on there for ages.
Going to check out that link now, £2 is going to be hard to beat! Thanks!

Whew! I think I am caught up on comments here and in the Gallery. So. Much. Creativity! Your second page of the day is another winner, kiwigirl . Love the pink & teal with the indigo and the scalloped border really works with the Nuvo's. That grid pattern is AWESOME, MDscrapaholic ! I love these to see this technique, but since I can barely get anything straight on a page, if I tried it, my page would look like a scene in a haunted house mirror. What are you going to be scrapping now, gramma , that you are tired of pages about kids and water? Get the Nuvo's, craftykitten. You will love them! |

I still have another day of dolphins, a day of scuba diving, a day of fly boarding and pics of chillin' on the catamaran. Then there are the formal pics we had done and general hanging out on the ship. We did this trip with our son and his family and our daughter and hers so there are a LOT of pictures. It was such a great trip I feel the need to scrap it all.
After the trip there's more - wait for it - - - more cheer and more baseball!! I'm almost caught up so there will be a lot few of those. Then there are two graduations, a wedding, a baby shower - - - -
I love the grid pattern MDscrapaholic. My hand is never steady enough to do that so I taught myself to make overlays and use those.
When I grow up I want to be like kiwigirl ;-)

And the awesomeness just keeps coming! woodysbetty, your share link worked. Good job finishing those retirement party pages. I find PL style MORE than challenging! I like how you interspersed photos and other panels, and how you split the word card to stretch it between two pockets. Bet it feels good to have this finished. And congrats on being so busy after your retirement that you didn't have time to scrap it for SIX YEARS! Loving your pages, crystalb. Great colours and designs. Loving all the hearts and stars. Left specific feedback in the Gallery. kitbop, that page is AMAZING!!! I love the woodgrain backdrop and all the fun summery elements. I think I need to print off a couple of your pages, crystalb, and this one by you, kitbop and then use them to learn how to work with clusters. Yours look so well put together. Mine usually look like the pieces fell out of a package and got stuck to the paper with a piece of chewing gum. |

Way to go woodysbetty finishing your retirement pages! They look fabulous too, lots of work there Wow crystalb love the background on your first LO, looks fantastic! The sketch LO is just beautiful, such lovely colours and I love all the embellishing it looks smashing! Emerald Isle is stunning, did you paint that background? I adore the black and white with pink on the last one, it looks amazing! I want to dig out a black and white background now cause you're looks so awesome! Stunning work again kitbop, I love the way you put colours together, you have a real talent for it, your LO's always look amazing! I love all the little details, the frames are lush and the striped paper is perfect! |

Here is a simple one from me this morning. I was actually not planning to scrap, just clearing a space on my scrap counter, but I decided that rather than find a place for the metal brads in a bin I would use them on a page. It doesn't have a title on it, but there will be a facing page when I have a pic of his cousin who graduated from pre-K this year. Don't know why this photo looks so yellow. Took it in full sunlight.  kinder grad by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Points: Created & shared (2). #2 (red, white & gold) (1), #7 (the arrow pp) (1), #26 (just grabbed stuff from my "school" bin) (1), #27 (for June construction for the metal star & A+) (1), which are also brads, so #28 too (1), so a grand total of 7 |

But they can be quite pricey on there. I reckon you will like Caribbean Blue, Carnation Pink, Dandelion Yellow. Also good colours are Rhubarb, Pumpkin, English Mustard, Apple Green, black & white
