Here are my last August shares: Over the last two days, I have put together TEN of these cards to send out to people who helped with our anniversary party or who did not read instructions and GAVE us something. Points: Ten cards created and one shared (11). Diecutting (10) Inking edges (10). So 31 points for these:  enbedded thanks by Gramma Dee, on Flickr This morning I did an inventory of my sympathy cards and realized I do not have enough to take to my cousin's funeral tomorrow, so I put together four more. Four cards created, one shared (5). They each have a "bug" on them (the dragonfly) (4) which I stamped (4), and I also inked the edges (4), so 17 points for these:  dragonfly sympathy by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I have my sample done for Sketchtember, but will have to wait until Saturday to share (and claim) that. |

deeping deep into my stash for the Once Upon a Scribble clear quote sticker c.2000  Pretty sure I bought that with the intent of using on DD18's or maybe even DS26's baby pages but it's DD11 in this layout.  |

Linda, Best Buddy: Fantastic colors and a I love the photo blocking. At the Park (double): LOVE the background paper and the slide/merry go round on the mats. (I loved the merry go rounds and so did my kids, but most parks have gotten rid of them these days, except I can find them in northern Michigan). I love the bright orange with it. Camp and Granny pages are great too, but LOVE that poem on the baby page!! so sweet. woodysbetty, I love the night theme background for your night out page. Beautiful embellishing too. christinec68, Gorgeous page. I love how the colors pop on the black background. grammadee, beautiful cards, especially the sympathy ones.

christinec68 - love the black, and spatters and overall design, and the clusters! grammadee - so pretty as always, so soft linda - you amaze me with your productivity and capturing of events Chinagirl828 - gorgeous! Love the ink in the background and the title work.

Love this back to school LO! Great colours, the banners, and I love all the little bits & bobs. Great photos, too. For points, count each page as if it were a single, unless the challenge says otherwise. For example, this is two pages created and shared, so 4 points for that. Each one has 3 photos on it, so 2 points for that... |

Linda, I like how you use the different colours for the different sets of photos/stories. You also mix it up with page design as well: some with tilted photos, the ChowHall title down the side. Good job doing this with the 8 1/2 x 11" canvas. I also like how you use the white edged photos and (sometimes) double matting to separate the photos from the background. Chinagirl828, I love that you are getting so many pages done with photos from your childhood. Will be leaving love in the Gallery for the one seen here.

last one from the Boy Scout camping week. I think I have one more set of photos from 2007 to do - a Boy Scout canoe trip - and then that album can go on the shelf.  |

That orange and green combo is really eye catching, with or without the kraft/tan you have used it with on other pages. Love it when a book gets FINISHED!!! Good job on doing one from 11 years back. How do you keep track of all the details of a story you won't be telling right away? Do you wirte notes on calendars--like the one on your baby page--to keep track? Do the kids keep journals at camp? |

Thank you. Well...for the camp pages, I really DON'T have notes or details and the lack of journalling reflects that. My kids sometimes keep camp journals - the youngest is the best at that. Most of my photos from about 2007/8 are on FB so I have captions there that help with journalling and I have kept journalling notes for some specific stories - I have a computer folder for that. I am trying to keep up-to-date with my current photos because I think I do lose a lot when it takes so long to get photos scrapped... |

I'm here, I'm here, I'm catching up! I had such grand plans for this month and then chemo and ending up in hospital has just wiped me out.
