Okay Peas, these are the last of the Harry Potter layouts you'll be seeing from me. It was too hot to work outside yesterday, so I flipped on the a/c and stayed in and scrapped. I still have four more pages to go in the Universal album, and then I can call it done    Challenges: #6 nuvos, #8 vacation, #27 ketchup - washi, #28 fasteners, #32 single not 4x6, and #34 inspired by a book   These are the front and back of a 6x12 pocket page. Challenges: #8 vacation, #14 grid, #15 multiphoto, and #34 inspired by a book   These two. Challenges: #1 flags, #6 nuvos, #8 vacation, #11 enamel dots, #27 ketchup - stickers, #32 single not 4x6, and #34 inspired by a book.  DH won't be happy when he sees this, but DD loved it. He was making a funny face when she took the picture. There are a bunch of these templates available online. Challenges: #8 vacation, #30 paper pad - a woodgrain from a JoAnn's Ms. Sparkle pad, # 34 inspired by a book, and #36 dry media (chalked edges) Now that these moody layouts are done, I'll finally get to to work on some bright sunny pages for a change! |

Wow msliz they're amazing! Loving the papers you've used and those stars are super lush! I just finished this one. I really struggled with it, it was hard! I haven't even added up points yet, I'll do that in a bit (feeling very dizzy at the moment which I think is the diabetes pills I'm on) so I'll come back and do those later. Claiming 7 for this, 2 for doing a LO & posting, 1 for Ketchup - Construction, 1 for the July Bonus Challenge, 1 for Outdoors, 1 for Nuvos and 1 for a Single Photo.  |

You did an awesome job of those "moody" pages, msliz. Will leave love in the Gallery. Have a good time returning to the bright side of scrapbooking! I love your lift, kiwigirl. You did a wonderful job of lifting Chinagirl828's monochromatic page and applying your own dynamic style. |

Your page is lovely, kiwigirl, a dynamic design that I would recognize as your style if I had to pick it out of a line up. Kudos for using your scrapbooking to work out some of the frustrations of your life. So often we document only the good stuff. Hang in there! You have changed a LOT over the last couple of weeks. I am going to shoot you a PM about diabetic eating. |

kiwigirl , I felt the same way when my husband was diagnosed with diabetes. He dealt with it much better than I did. You can vent here anytime you want. ((HUGS))

I have been crazy busy so I have neglected to share my love of the beautiful creations everyone has posted, but I am completely blown away by the creativity!!!  . Got back from a few days away, maneuvering through Doctor's visits and tests ( yuck!!) and teaching my yoga classes. Not sure how the time gets away from me so much!! DH surprised me with a suggestion that we move to the villages in Florida so my hamster wheel brain is running like crazy bouncing between what I can't let go of and what I need to...the good part about that is I spent time sorting and organizing some scrap stuff in my storage area and came across several unfinished class layouts. One of them I finished one so far and updated a bit to fit the challenges. It cracks me up because the layout was from a CKU class in 2006! Just for the nostalgia aspect I really followed the class format just updating a little by adding wood veneer, nuvo drops and changing the twine set up for the envelope by adding a lighter color ring and different twine. Loved that I used brads and snaps...snaps haven't made to my layouts since enamel dots came out!! So here is that layout - which gives me a total of 6 points for meeting: one page & post, Challenge # 6 Nuvos, Challenge #8 Vacation Photos, Challenge 26, Grab seven,& Challenge #28 fasten-ate me  woodenshoegreeting by Marybeth Cully, on Flickr Next one gives me 6 points meeting: one page & post, #7 Grab seven, # 6 Use nuvos, #12 Put A dot on it, and #16 multi photos  sytar2018 by Marybeth Cully, on Flickr This last one is just of signs I made and display on little stands in my yoga classes each week. the first one It invites them to take an aromatherapy pad and the second sign I re-do depending on the blend I use. It gives me 3 points for #31 off the wall!!  yoga signs by Marybeth Cully, on Flickr Off to teach!! Hugs to all!! |

kiwigirl , it's one of my favorite layouts of yours. Really. I was diagnosed diabetic in January, and I'm struggling with my diet too. No advice here. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the honesty and the emotion in your journaling. Well done! Okay, two more Universal layouts from yesterday. I'm getting so close to being done. I still have to go back and note the challenges and calculate the points for all my pages. Sorry I've been delinquent. Starting now though.  Ripsaw Falls Challenges: #3 water, #6 nuvos, #8 vacation, #11 enamel dot, #20 manufacturers - AC #summer, #27 ketchup - sun, #29 outdoors, #30, 6x6 paper pad, diecut challenge butterfly  Universal Title Page Challenges: #6 nuvos, #7 arrow, #8 vacation, #11 enamel dots, #12 flip 180 (I flipped the Ripsaw Falls layout, but only by 90, not 180 - it was late and I was being dense), #20 manufacturers - Jen Hadfield Everyday, #25 birthstone - November - orange topaz (I really dislike orange), #27 ketchup - scraps, #29 outdoors, #30 6x6 paper pad, #35 ephemera

Wow I am soooo far behind on leaving love. But I did see all the beautiful lo's! So much creativity! Not much scrapping here, I wish my job didn't get in the way of what I want to be doing lol. I love seeing all the 8.5x11 pages. I scrapped that size for years and sometimes think about going back to it. And I love the salty language I'm seeing, since I can get quite salty myself  and it's real life sometimes. |

Hope you get some scrapping time soon, joyfulnana . Glad you squeezed in a little time to play with paper, woodysbetty . Left you some love in the Gallery. Love your Universal pages, especially the water park one, msliz . Those diecut saw blades, and splashes are fun. One could even count as a SUN if you need a ketchup challenge point. And I love that you included the TICKETS! |

Great paper, and your grid page is awesome - you chose the right photo for the middle of that one! |

I started out to make a 'my life is a circus' LO with this stash but it evolved into this, which is a little bit more happy than I was planning but that's probably a good thing right now! I got some Maggie Holmes Carousel stuff on sale and I wanted to use it.  Claiming 9 for this, 1 for a LO, 1 for posting, 1 Ketchup - Random Icon (seriously, a swan with a crown lol!), 1 for Nuvos, 1 for a Selfie, 1 for smaller than 4x6 LO, 1 for Sparkle & Shine (the stars have glitter on them), 1 for an Arrow and 1 for Word-Up cause the title was in a pack, ready done.. |

That is AMAZING kiwigirl !!! Serious random icon there, you should get a bonus point  Love the layers behind the photo.

Whew - got this done "under the wire" - we leave for camping in a couple of hours, but I was up early so finished this this morning. I won't be scrapping for 5 days which makes me a little sad, but gotta have memories and photos to scrap! There are some holographic sticker here (shells) that don't show up true in the photo. Sketch used, stash used, manufacturer (pink paislee), watercolour, arrow, single 5x5, prefab word title, outdoors, vacation, ephemera, layout and share - so 12 points   layout arabesque by kirstendrew, on Flickr So very pretty |

Awesome creativity, Ladies! thracian, I love the introspective journaling, and the title with all the different FONTS! Also love what you did with the texture paste: did you colour that, or did it come all pink and glittery? Speaking of pink, you have used it really artfully here. I don't use much of that colour but you have handled it beautifully. Glad you got a moment to share all your creations, justjac! Love how you documented the 100 Days project. A wonderful way to celebrate that accomplishment. And those canvasses are amazing! Your travel page is an awesome lift, Chinagirl828. You are the queen of well used white space. I always feel the need to mess up the whole page. Such fun pages, @scrapaholic! The pic of the babies' reaction to the Halloween costume is just too cute! And I love that you scrapped it with skulls, and told the story. Love the happy colours in the Eating Crabs page, and again: cute story! And I really need to lift what you did with those diagonal stripes in the Life in the Summertime page. Reversing the direction of the diagonals for the strips is genious! Glad to see that your happy scrappy style actually pulled you out of the dumps, kiwigirl. Love all the diecuts and joyful colours against that dynamic b&w striped border. Who could be crabby looking at that page? |

Here are the four pages I put together this morning. The universe DOES want me to scrap: another inch of rain last night has kept me out of the garden where the work is for another day. I will edit to add the points once all the pages are linked. These are all done with pic's my dd sent me of their adventures camping this month. I dug back into my seasonal drawer and pulled out a few Summer and Camping collections. With those on top of my counter, the pages went together easily. Mostly Simple Stories Cabin Fever for these:  Let's do LUNCH 1 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  Let's do LUNCH! by Gramma Dee, on Flickr 17 challenge points for these two: #1 (2), #2 (red white & green on page one) (1). #7 (1). #8 (2). #11 (1). #15 (1). #16 (1). #21 (Simple Stories for page two) (1). #22 (1). #27 (all patterned paper on page two) (1). #28 (2). #29 (2). #32 (1). Found a really old Carol Wilson page kit for these two. I knew I was going to scrap them today, so yesterday I used a stencil to create the "waves" with glitter paint.  grab your paddles! by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  Grab your Paddles 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr 19 Challenge points for these two: #7 (2). #8 (2). #10 (1). #11 (1). #19 (2). #22 (1). #27 (Sun worhipper, stencil) (2). #28 (2)/ #29 (2)/ #32 (2). #33 (2). |

I got a bit behind with my commenting.... had to wait for my mood to lift, I was in a bit of a stomper for a while there! grammadee those Canada day LO's are super lush! Love the colours, so patriotic, they are stunning. Love the card, the folded paper looks fab and it's a great colour combination. I LOVE the two green pages, they look fabulous! The embellishing is great and is that hashtag done with Nuvos? You are the queen of writing with them! Your last 4 LO's, I totally love all the bold papers you've used, you've used them so well and I love that Happiness strip on the bottom one, it's so colourful! I love your embellishments, I just want to reach out and touch them all so I bet that's what people will want to do when looking through your albums! MDscrapaholic sorry your hubby has diabetes. I bet I would have freaked out much more if it was my partner too! Great LO's, I love your use of background papers, they all look fab. The Fright Night title looks superb along with the little touch of purple and turquoise, so lush! I think I may be obsessed with diet cause I just read Eating Crabs as Eating Carbs hahahaha! Love how you've put the title over the photo there, it looks great. And the stripes on the last LO are awesome, I love how you've put the strips on there too, such a cool touch! woodysbetty is that Chatterbox? It's fantastic! Love those brads & snaps! Your second page, I just love that quote across the bottom, it's a great quote but it looks so good too, love it! msliz the diet is the thing that's confusing me so much. I posted my LO on FB and people were having an argument about whether we should be eating low fat Greek yoghurt or full fat. I had already said I was making a decision that I was going to have low fat cause the full fat had lots of calories and I'm trying to lose weight so I'm sticking low fat for a while. They're all still ranting with each other lol! Loving your Universal LO's, your album must be amazing! Love your embellishments on both LO's and the oranges & lemons papers are fab! joyfulnana, I hate when work gets in the way of things! gramma thanks for the love, you're a sweetie!  thracian you are the queen of pretty colours! I always love the papers you mix together they always look so lush and pretty. Love your title, love that there's no photo and I really love the stencilling/embossing paste, it looks amazing! WOW justjac! Lovely work. I can't look closer cause Flikr won't let me see at the moment (it periodically wants me to log in with yahoo for some reason, I don't have yahoo and I don't want a yahoo account so I wait it out and eventually it goes away and lets me in again!) but did you paint 3 canvases there? They look amazing! Love your big titles on the friends LO and the cool BG paper. Love all the cogs and flowers on the next LO Chinagirl828 that is perfection! I love the little banners, the doily, the journalling strips and the white space, it's all perfect for that photo and looks amazing! KelleeM great pocket page, I love your people! I am loving the old BG on the second LO, I do love me some old BG, great flower cluster too! Love those little banners on Love You and the papers you've picked are perfect for the lovely photo. Your last LO is beautiful as well, so tranquil, did you paint that background yourself, it's amazing! |

But I love the layouts and imagine how great they'll look in an album to flip thru!
