Hello everyone, So I don’t think I will have time to comment on all the pages today. So rather than start at page 1 like I did last time, I am pulling numbers at random. First up: Page 8 As the Page Turns Page 8 grammadee was very busy on page 8. First, her and her husband (?) revisited their memories at a lovely gathering with friends. I am sure she was in charge of bring pictures. Next her family went on a hike in BC. It sounds like an amazing time. Her family also went to the beach, played in the dirt, went to a farm. Phew. I am tired just typing about all these awesome adventures. And you know what else? She still had time to make lovely Christmas cards. Yep. Adventurer and Christmas card maker. kiwigirl told us what her favorite perfume is . And it has been her favorite since 1997! Hmm… somehow I want to go shopping at Sephora. She also let us know that her name is Rachel. Yes, kiwigirl, your name is Rachel. Keep this LO close to you so you can remember your name next time you forget, ‘kay? gmcwife1 made 20 Christmas cards. Hold your horses! She made ANOTHER 20 Christmas cards. That is impressive. linda was very proud of Simon for moving up the ranks in the Navy. And I learned a new meaning for the word frocked. Linda also has a new flat. I wonder if it is wee flat and that is why her LO photo is so teeny tiny? Question: what is DS26? Linda also celebrated Christmas 2017 with the invisible man. JaneB made some very realistic Christmas cards. So realistic that I wanted to peel the glitter off. What? I can’t be the only one that loves to peel off glitter. sleepingbooty has loved living in the heart of the city since she was a little girl. Question: Your album “to be and to become” sounds really intriguing. Do you have more info on it? |

cristelina - I LOVE how you do your comments! DS26 is dear son age 26 and it's his new flat not mine  One more card - I'm trying hard to catch up on the card challenges today. Cardtober #19 with sequins rak'ed to me from Eddie-n-Harley - please excuse my poor scan

As the Page Turns-Page 11 linda made lovely cards to send to her friends. She sends weekly letters people! Weekly. Her friends and family are very lucky. stinkerbelle reminisced about Katie having a franken-thumb. It sounded extremely painful. But you got love that she posed for a photo anyway. She also gave me a good reminder. Growing old is optional. Great think to remember when one is feeling old. Also, am I the only one that wishes that I could walk around looking like a snapchat cat? Chinagirl828 went on a lovely vacation to a very relaxing resort. woodysbetty really loved the Celtic Thunder concert. She and her husband really enjoyed the music. Hmm…might the beer have something to do with that? justlisa7 attended a wedding with some very handsome groomsmen. grammadee must of chuckled to herself as she made this adorable Christmas card. JaneB must have told herself over and over “This is so DARN CUTE!” as she made the so darn cute pop-up card. patin made some very lovely cards. nylene also made the cutest card. Question: How do you give these gorgeous creations away? gale w w reminded me how sorry I am to have sold my CM hexagon punches with this lovely card she created. kiwigirl enjoyed a very colorful kiwi summer. Mmm… I want ice cream. |

As the Page Turns Page 2 nylene shared such a cute story about Drew showing off his ginger hair. So darn cute. And Topher has had so much fun climbing trees and finding teeny tiny treasures. stinkerbelle didn’t just comment on how cute these girls are. She let us know they were part of the Nerd Herd. yay girl power! gale w w has become my new best friend! A meowy Christmas. Ha! and I love those little cats. grammadee has made really interesting cards. Love all the layers of the first one. Love all the sparkle of the second one. woodysbetty had a great time way back on New Year’s Eve 2004. Ah, those boating law enforcement folks. Such a hoot at parties. And in their tighty whities no less. Well wasn’t that a fun party? justjac shared some lovely images of her grandma and grandpa. I love those old photos. kitbop had a great time at a magic show (?) but then … THE CHAIR…mwahaha! |

I finally got some scrapping time at Scrap Expo this weekend. This is the front of a Disney album. I took the class only to get the kit and put it together on Saturday. The rest of the pictures of the book are on Flickr  IMG_1547 by CLAUDIA LOVELESS, on Flickr I'm going to claim this under other crafting. I don't think claiming each page would be in the spirt of the challenges |

Love the embossing! the angel card is very pretty, love the vellum and even though I obviously can’t see movement in the photo, I think your action wobble looks pretty darn good! The starry blue Christmas card is very pretty, love the colors you used cristelina your comments are great, thank you kitbop congrats on finishing your kit! i know it was totally different from the way you normally work, but i hope you enjoyed the process or at least enjoy your LOs!

linda - adorable birthday card, I love tartan and scottie dogs! How did you die-cut the dog? Your daisy card is really cute and I like the silver embossing (but can't read it and my computer won't zoom in!). Your lighthouse care, love the textures in each layer. And those angels - very classy, but then the centre one would wobble so fun too! I'm sorry that action wobble didn't work well, they are expensive! patin - I love your crafty "waves" of pp, you captured the mood and theme and it looks great! @galew - wonderful card, LOVE the colours and butterflies and scallops which almost look like individual circles the way you've placed them. gramma - stunning 2 pagers! Your photos are amazing on the first. On all, the title work is just lovely. I love the multiple pps, but subtle and subdued, and the embellie placement on the 2nd. "Hannah" - wow, a lot of work selecting and trimming photos, I *love* layouts like that, I know how good they feel in the album. "Sisters" is amazing, the squares...just amazing. And "That hurt" - great use of embellies, the crutches are adorable, the twine is eye catching texture! And of course, the album, WOW, how big is it? It is incredible and makes me want to start doing albums again!!!

kitbop - Thank you. The album is 6x6. I'm pretty happy with it. Oh - and the one of Hannah? I cheated. Those little pictures are under and overlay. No way I could get them straight other wise.
