teacherlisa , what a sweet doggie. You are kind to dog-sit for your son. I love the grid and the simplicity that really leads the eye to Winston. BTW, I love your fringed quilt!! Linda , Cute cupcake and matching border around your title. The polka dot paper looks like confetti thrown in the air. Pretty pages!

I wish I could take credit for this design, but I lifted it from Kelsey Webster on YouTube. It is such a great way to use up some branding strips. I used up a bunch! It takes a lot of time, but the results were worth it.  This layout fulfills challenges 1 (+1), 10, 13, 15 (+5), 18, 20, 21, 24, 26, 29, 31, 32, 33 (+1), 37 (+1), 39, 48, 56, 61 (+1), 63, 64, 65, 68 +1 for sharing. Total points: 32 |

This is my LO for the Sketchy Saturday April 20th challenge. I used the 'Hop Into Spring' kit by Just Because Studio.  How beautiful and fun! The photos are awesome, and I love the colors too. Such a pretty layout! |

Catching up: Page 7: I think I left love on here for these, but can’t find it, so maybe I wrote it up and didn’t hit submit which is annoying Linda , Adventure Awaits: Love the plaid and the cut apart PL card. Sketches layout were commented on the sketch threads. 5th grade dance: I love the background mix with the colorblocked background and then the papers repeated for the flags at the top. Looks so good and that paper adds so much interest. teacherlisa , this life: love the journaling. Did that bird lay the eggs on your porch? Sandy: Love the simplicity of this layout, letting the photos and journaling be the stars. Your mom is beautiful. grammadee , DS’s BD card: Love the papers you used and your homemade kitchen foil gears are amazing. dasmith2 , Super excited to see your baby album. Such a cute gift! PAGE 8: Linda , Spring Fling: those scrabble like letters on winner are great. The design on the background paper is so pretty and looks embossed. I want to run my fingers over it. Signing Ceremony: Oh, they are all worth sharing. I like the pocket to hold the bulletin and the enamel dot photo corners. UCF Bound: I like the black with yellow and how you did the page flags. Mosh: You have really been rocking the page flags on the layouts this month. I like that you mimicked it in the journaling strips, so clever. Grad Bash (Hogsmead): Very cute! Love the multiple toned grays (it makes the photos pop) and the row of nuvo drops. Butterfly: So Beautiful!! Senior Awards: I think you do a fabulous job with the yellow/gold and purple. If I did any of my high school pages I’d be going back to these for inspiration. May the Force be with You: Love this! Perfect. sleepingbooty , Notre-Dame Fire: Your design and embellishments are beautiful. The photos are heart-wrenching. But I do love that you documented such a significant event. craftymom101 , left love in the GS for the layout (loving your Shimelle paper layouts) and the butterfly card (Love it) but don’t remember seeing the “for you” card which is so pretty and feminine. AussieMeg , Such a pretty layout. Love the mixed media background and the layers. Easter2002: Gorgeous. Great the layers and embellishments. I love the crocheted doily. gramma , love your frog cards. So cute. kitbop , Remember or Not: WOW! Super layout. I love the stitching and the layering and everything about this. Clouds: left love on the sketch thread. KelleeM , So many Polka Dots: I’m so loving this page. It’s just wonderful. I love the colors and the little enamel dots and the dot alphas and the polka dot background paper is perfect for this dress. And I love that the DOTS is in huge letters. Say Cheese: awe. Fabulous page. The little wood veneer camera with the heart center is perfect. Happy Easter: so many pretties: the doily corner, the lace across both pages, the wonderful photos, the wood veneer bunny and chick, and that little lamb, the PL card. Just lovely. dasmith2 , First layout: WOW! Love this. All the layering and textures. Fabulous. You Made My Day: Fabulous layers and clusters. Lovely page. And so sweet that she sang her own song for you. Hope to get caught up on page 9 & 10 tomorrow. |

linda - I love your "word" block paper, and the layers and colours you've chosen on Mother's Day! "Midnight" - there is something special about the black and white paper and the start contrast of the journaling that really brings out the whole scheme of the black cat! Great layout! nylene - love the lined up photos and equal spacing, it makes for a very graphic easy to process layout! Plus, your grandkids are absolutely gorgeous! thracian - that must have taken forever to decide which strips to use! It looks awesome, and I love the photo too.

Not enough hours in the day...if I scrap in the evening, I don't get my comments done, and now I'm flying out the door to work again... My apologies to those I haven't commented on yet. I love ALL the layouts! My creation yesterday - started with a sketch - not sure if I should post it here or make a new sketch thread because I really enjoyed it! But here's my layout:  layout pokemon ho ho ho by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

So much eye candy in this thread! I hope to get back to it page by page in the next day or two to leave some love. Here are four cards I created to take to my aunt's funeral on Monday. These are for my 4 cousins whose mother she was. The cards are all basically the same, so I am sharing them as one, claiming one point for sharing, adding up the points for one card and then multiplying by 4.  dragonfly sympathy cards by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Four cards created + one share (5). Points for these challenges: #4 cards, #10 (dragonflies), #18 (sentiment stickers), #26 (stamping), #31 (rectangles), #48 (pastels), #68 (mixed media). Total: 5 + 7x4 = 33 points. |

Oh dear! So far behind and so many wonderful creations! Too much work, too little play time and perhaps the cleaning organizing of the craft room has bit into my craft & commenting time as well. We are already on page 10!  |

Comments for page SEVEN: Linda , your creativity and productivity never cease to amaze me. Your scrap space looks very organized with everything right within reach, so that probably helps. Your Lenten ornaments are very cool. I love all the little details on each and how they all look so festive on that tree. Those are awesome photos in Adventure Awaits. I love the greens, and especially the plaid with them. Great use of red & black for your Disney pages. I love that photo of the dessert with the ears! And I really need to get my hands on that Dark Rainbow pad! Love those colours, and you really put them to work with your 5th grade DANCE page. Love those banners in the plain and patterned papers. Love seeing your pages dasmith2 . Those outdoor photos have the perfect background in that birch bark pp, and that cluster bottom left is really cool. The colour combo in that BEAUTIFUL page is gorgeous, and you know how much I love that twine flower. That baby album is really sweet. I am sure it will be appreciated now and cherished for years to come. Love all those cute papers and the soft colours. So baby. Yet so BOY! teacherlisa , your insightful journaling always amazes me. I love your description of your rural home and the rustic photos to go with it. That green is the perfect colour to back them up. Those are lovely photos of your mom. I would get you to tell her how beautiful she looks to us, but then you would have to explain why her pic's were on line  . I am much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of the lens myself. Have not seen many photos of me that I like, either. I hope you are able to continue to snap a few photographs of her. Time is so fleeting. I love your Once Upon a Time page, thracian. Great colours, and that peach DOES match perfectly! The photo is really cool, and the clusters help to add depth to the page. Awesome! |

I'm SO tired of purple and gold...after I finish up May 2018 (getting closer), I'm going to switch gears and work on another project to give myself a break before I tackle Graduation (first of June) My scan is crooked - not my layout...   "Senior Scholarship Night" (2pg 8.5x11) = 2(layout) + 2(sharing) + 1 (#7 May photos) + 1 (#24 someone I love) + 1 (#31 rectangles) + 1 (#41 nuvos) + 1 (#62 cardstock) = 9pts |
