Wow you guys! So many gorgeous pages! gramma - I love your style and kiwigirl - That doodlebug has now found it's way into my cart so thanks for that lol Awesome! I have 8 more LO's to share on the 1st (I think that's Wednesday?), I will pop them all in this thread once my blog post has gone live. I really loved the collection, it seemed to make me go back to my roots of scrapping, quite graphic & simple LO's, mostly grids and straight lines. It's funny how some collections make you scrap in a certain way, when I pick up Maggie Holmes I tend to add doilies and pretty things, Crate Paper and I get all layery and Basic Grey I go quite grid and simple again. |

Love your tone on tone page, Chinagirl828. And your photo of the kitty soaking up the sun. Need to check this out in more detail on Flickr. FUN pages, stinkerbelle! I think DIRT is older than 40, though LOL. On my 50th bd I got a card from a friend that said, "Dee is NOT older than dirt... but ALMOST!" I need to go look at your pages in more detail, too. KelleeM, I love the baseball pages! Good job finding those tickets and getting them on there, and I love the little Red Sox jersey! And that Christmas page is just darling. Love the look in her eyes and your title perfectly captures the wonder! |

joyfulnana...great pages. I think you can claim more points. You get a point for each page you post so 2 points for posting a two page layout. Is that Washi tape on the second layout? If so you can claim a ketchup point from June’s Washi It Up!

This is my last one for the month - 20 layouts was my goal.
Vacation (4) - Put a dot on it (2) - Not 4x6 (2)
I love that silly lizard. I found him on Google, imported him, traced him and made my own cut file.

Another gorgeous page, kitbop! I love how you perfectly matched the grass in the photos with your background. Great page design, too, with all the paper (& tape?) strips behind the photo cluster, and although there are so many little details to ogle, the photos are still the star. That Hat LO jumped right out of the Gallery at me, joyfulnana. LOVE the colour and the design. Glad you gals are looking ahead to playing again in August. Isn't this FUN??? |

Here's my last one...journal spots of the trip... grabbing 4 points - 2 layout and post, 1 nuvo, 1 Word up. But also claiming 4 hours for organizing as I added a new Kallex double and single to my room and am currently shifting and re-organizing stuff. So I guess I can add 8 more to my total.. flic.kr/p/28dAR6vThe reorg has kept me a little distracted but I did look through all the posts...you ladies do awesome work!! So fun to play with you!! |

joyfulnana, love the birthday LO colours and mood, bright and clean. "Hat girl" made me LOL because I'm the same way, plus I love the bouncing title (adds to the sentiment) and the square journaling strips across the diagonal washi. gramma - arg, he's too cute!! I love love love the eyes and title, and you make me almost want to use me cameo (I'm so lazy...) Chinagirl828, amazing as always, stunning colours and design. Are they vellum butterflies, because the way they link your layers yet are see-through is perfect. woodysbetty - I love how you've captured so much journaling on your page! I am all about the story (actually, that holds me back sometimes from just creating a page for the sake of a pretty picture, but that's another issue...) so I really appreciate your LO!

Sorry I missed your adorable lizard page, gramma. We must have been posting at the same time. LOVE the diecut you came up with! You are the electronic cutter wizard! Chinagirl828, I swear you should work for a travel magazine. Left some love for your two pager in the Gallery. Is that the last page you plan to make for your trip, woodysbetty? Good job on getting it all on pages so quickly while your memories are still crisp. It will be a book to be treasured. I did up a quick birthday card yesterday morning and then started on a couple of interactive ones using one of Karen Burniston's die sets. It took me awhile to get them assembled (I don't do assembly line creating very well--get bored too easily--but with these there are little tricks to remember at each step, so doing several one step at a time makes sense. Still have the fun part to do: the decorating. But won't get to that today. Will dream up ideas while I am out picking peas. Really. I am going out to the garden to pick PEAS. Bless my Pea Pickin' Heart  ! |

 Fr   The top two pictures are the very simple mini album I threw together a for my granddaughter. I used Washi, stickers and a few punches. I feel like I deserve an award for using some ancient supplies in the Santa layout...Daisy Ds papers, Making Memories rub ons from 2006 and Paper Bliss felt present from I don’t know when! Will tally points later. mini album...16 pages, shared 32 points santa....Christmas in July, mfr (Daisy Ds), stash, sparkle and shine 6 points |

That mini album is really sweet, KelleeM. I bet your dgd loves it! And I LOVE your Christmas page! I recognize those giant alphas! I think some may be buried in the corner of the corner cupboard that holds all things Christmas. So many cool pages, myboysnme! Love all the themed embellishments, each perfect for the story you are telling: the paint brush & roller, the dominoes, the hot dog fork! I also love all the different page designs and colours here. When I do 8 1/2 by 11" pages, they all start to look the same: that's why I prefer to work with 12x12's. But you manage to use the smaller canvas and make every page unique. Awesome! |

My last four for the month. I'm working on half a desk, but I really wanted to get these done since I'd started them weeks ago.   These are the final pages for DD's Universal trip with her dad. Challenges: #7 arrow, #8 vacation, #27 ketchup (scraps), #28 fasteners, and #36 dry media (flamingo and pineapple)   So, now I have to concentrate on getting her Disney album done. They're planning a trip to NYC this week, but it'll only be a few pages in the family album rather than an entire trip album. Challenges: #6 nuvos, #8 vacation, #27 ketchup (scraps), #29 outdoors, and #36 dry media (some of the doilies) myboysnme, I'm loving all your layouts, but I especially like the painting pages. The papers and embellishments are just so perfect with your photos. KelleeM, your pages are the sweetest gift to her. She's going to cherish them forever! Chinagirl828, the peacefulness in your photos is reflected so nicely in the peaceful way you scrapped them. Lovely choices. gramma, that lizard is too freakin cute! Perfect! joyfulnana, I have the same papers you used on your birthday pages - it always gives me a thrill to see the different ways it can be used. I love your selfie page with all the colorful washi too! kitbop, I always find myself staring at your pages for so long admiring all the details you manage to include. Every page you share with us is so amazing! |

Hi everyone, I just finished looking at all the beautiful LOs and cards. I love to see all the color palettes people use and the lovely embellishments. So much talent in this group. So now that I finally figured out how this challenge works, I am going to take photos of my LOs and will be posting them soon. Yes. I know. It is very last minute. Sadly, I have always done things last minute.

Last ones for the month. First 3 are a LO and PL insert (double sided), then a 2nd LO from the same event. I used old PL paper and cards for everything (stash + manufacturer), tried out rows of nuvo drops (thanks kiwigirl!), added arrows, ephemera, clips/brads (fasten-ate), wood buttons(ketchup construction), alphanumeric stickers, flags, outdoors w/pet in #1, vacation, multi-photo, grid. Not all apply to both pages, but I count up 30 points!!!

msliz , I love those pages with the diecut doilies! They look so much like fireworks. Those are lovely photos, gramma , and I love all the diecut (fussy cut?) flowers that complement them so beautifully. Your paper colours and designs are really FUN, kitbop ! I love what you did with the pocket pages: all those fun elements! Good job, cristelina! Love all your pages! So many different looks! Your albums must be really interesting to read through.

cristelina, LOVE all your pages. the flower girls feel like they are in an explosion of flowers coming off the page, just lovely. "mallorca" you've done a fabulous job of capturing the ambience and event again. "Set Sail" is another stunning use of background to build up the photo so the viewer feels like they are there. gramma, your pop-open card is TDF! So adorable! "Forever and Always" is simply stunning, the gold foil, the flowers are perfectly placed. msliz - doilies echoing trees? Brilliant! Love the colours too. myboysnme - great LOs, love "game night" and the pp you used, and the school layout where you included the time table - good memory keeping! KelleeM - adorable mini album, those usually take me as long as a 12x12 layout (each page I mean) so you must have made that with a lot of love! And the Santa layout is classic and beautiful.
