Here are my comments for page EIGHT... Linda , I love the yellows on your Spring Fling LO. Goes wo well with those bright coloured bouncy castles. And you may be getting bored with the purples for the school colours, but I like that colour and you seem to making each of the pages unique. That is a challenge when your palette is limited: I find that with sports team photos sometimes. Also loving how you are using banners: the bright yellow with the black and the two tone green. The muted colours on the Hogsmead LO really helps the photos pop, and speaking of POP, I love the hit of orange on the butterfly page; perfect for the photo! That tribute to the Notre Dame cathedral is beautiful, sleepingbooty. I love its simple classic look. gramma , those froggies are ADORABLE!!! AussieMeg and kitbop , there is love in the Gallery. craftymom101 , that geometric paper pieced background is stunning! Love the look of these (and your colours and patterns are stellar), but never have the patience to actually put one together. And speaking of patience, those diecuts on the cards are beautiful. Love the two toned butterflies. Did you stamp and colour those flowers? So pretty! That polka dot page is so cute, KelleeM ! Love the dotted pp, and she is so cute in that polka dot dress. Love how you used the enamel dots to extend the dotty look onto the plain cs. And that little guy with the camera is a cutie patootie! Love the expression on his little face. Great use of papers to highlight the colours in the photos. Your Happy Easter page is sweet. She looks adorable in her purple dress, and I love the lamb, bunny, and chick pieces. Very festive. She does indeed look sweeter than jelly beans. So good to see you getting time to play, dasmith2 . Love how you used the horizontal border strip to support the other elements, and how you clustered everything around the photo on each page. Great way to sneak in the grid design, too. That green is really pretty, and I love the stamping and distressing, too. |

Catching up on Page NINE: AussieMeg, I hope to use your One Fine Day LO as inspiration for my April family calendar page. Love all the fun patterns, colours, circles (mine will be eggs) and spritzing. Embri, your critters are really adorable. Love the colouring and all the fun accents. And I am in awe of the concentration it must have taken to file down all those sharp edges. I now have the bulk of my wafer thin dies on magnetic trays. When I had to put them back into their packages I simply left them as a unit (unless there was a small one inside a large one I needed whole) and cut the whole thing as many times as I needed to. Now I am separating them b/c I can just slap the piece I just used back with its friends on the tray. Love your Fishing Fun LO, dasmith2! That yellow is the perfect background to make the photos stand out, and I love the pinwheels on the pp and on the page. Putting that pp on point to support the title is a really cool idea, too. WTG mixing up the page design with the torn edges on Field Day, Linda! Love how you placed the torn bit horizontally on one page and on end on the second. Love the classic design of the Meow page. That mouse & yarn pp is really cute. Glad you decided to preserve the selfies. They will be fun to look back on. Your birthday LO is really festive with that confetti pp and the cupcake. Cool to use it for an 18th bd celebration. justlisa7, that two pager is beautiful! Love that you have the larger group photo and then the smaller circular ones. Great idea to lift! And good job on your first shaker card. To begin with, it is pretty. I hope you continue to make them. I find them a challenge, mainly because I don't have the perfect system for getting the dimension. Foam tape has sticky edges, so the sequins often stick to that around the edges of the window. Winston is adorable, teacherlisa. But he does look like he is biding his time until his special person comes home. nylene there is love in the Gallery. |

I shared this layout on the general scrapbooking board already. The cards I created earlier this week.  Wow, this is fabulous! So vibrant and fun. I bet it took a while to back that cut file. |

Another 2 pager, I need to get my points straightened out before I start another.  This is lovely! Such a great color scheme, and I love the pinwheels. I always have such a hard time using them but they are put to great use here. |

Here are my comments on Page TEN: Linda , your Mothers' Day LO is really pretty. I love the colours and how you balanced the large photo with the grouping of smaller ones. Midnight is the perfect name for that cat. I love the background story, the b&w colour scheme, and that kitty diecut. Those pp strips are really pretty on the Art History page. Such pretty colours and patterns, and I love that you offset them. Perfect colours for GS Spirit, and I love that little cluster at bottom right. The colour combo in Celebrate is perfect! And I love that you have a long shot of the display and one of her with her certificate. Love the star and flower combo on Egypt, as well as the hits of happy yellow. And good job getting all the action on your Senior Scholarship Night pages. thracian, your doggie page is delightful. I love the square turned on point behind the sweet multi-matted photo and then all the layers/strips that follow that orientation. The soft colours and hearts and flowers all work together perfectly! Off to Flickr to leave love for gramma and kitbop . Already found and commented on nylene 's pages there. |

On to commenting on the current page... Whew! Finally getting caught up! Linda , your blackberry picking page is really pretty. I love the title and that soft pattern with the butterflies. Great use of movie papers and icons on the Star Wars page. I love the big popcorn box being the mat for your title. What delightful little candy lovers you have captured on this page, thracian ! Love the expression on her face! You are so good at layering and clustering all the fun little elements, and this page is no exception! KikiPea , I love all the flowers and butterflies on your page. Love the generational photos, and the layering and the gold makes the whole page festive. Beautiful colours, too. |

Here is another page from this morning. I have had this one in my mind ever since I heard the conversation and then managed to get a photo of the boys while they were still talking away to each other. What took me the longest was looking for something I was SURE I had in my stash--a paper with parachutes on it (or maybe it was hot air balloons)--but in the end I found something else that would work and then the page went together super fast.  Overheard at the Kids' Table by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Points: one page created and shared (2). Plus points for #7 (April photo), #11 (fussy cut the phrase piece), #12 (PL card), #13 (two fonts), #17 (tags), #18 (phrase piece), #20 (handwriting), #24 (my dgk's), #26 (date stamp), #29 (new Authentique pp), #31 (rectangular photo), #32 (square page), #35 (cousins), #43 (old BoBunny), #57 (ribbon), #61 (4 different paper lines) (2), #63 inked edges, #64 (layers).

I tried something new after watching many videos by Simple Cut Creations on YouTube. I used a collection pack, 8 sheets of cardstock, ephemera, tags and frames, chipboard, brads and enamel dots all from Rockabye by Carta Bella. I made 8 layouts and I am really pleased with how the process went and my final pages. I’m looking forward to doing something similar with other collections I have. I’ll tally my points later.   |

KelleeM , your little girl pages are adorable! It does speed up the process when you are working with one collection: choices are easier and everything is coordinated. I love what you did with the banners and the cute little bunnies and birds and other icons. But the star of your pages is that little sweetheart! And LisaDV, I love your Groundhog Day LO that just popped up. Hoping to get a closer look at it in the Gallery.
