Ah, I should probably have included a reference, my apologies. This is the official art version so you have an idea of what Charmander looks like:   I based mine more closely on the 'PokeDoll' design (second pic). |

Finishing up comments on page eleven: Awesome two pager, LisaDV ! Love the soft colours, the layering, the artsy watercolour background! The large photo perfectly balances the 4 photo block, and great job with all the little bits tucked in and around them. Your cards are lovely, Linda . I love how each set is so unique from the other sets. The florals look like little seed packets, each a promise of summer. The blue cards have a very classic look, and I love the colour combo of those feathers. I think my fav's are the florals. Embri , your colouring is phenomenal. I love each of these sets. That little pokeyman with the bandana is UBER cute! You SHOULD be doing more of your own designs: you are very talented. angel97701 , I will leave love on Flickr. And on to page TWELVE: Thanks for sharing your inspiration, Embri. (I think yours is cuter!) Your pages are beautiful, dasmith2. Love that deep green: it really shows off your photos well. And the multicoloured pieces at the ends with the diecuts, adds excitement to your pages. Love the interaction between the people in your photos. |

Page 9: (catching up...) AussieMeg, your page is so cute. The pastels really make the photos pop. 2marbles, beautiful young lady and page. I love the lace and doily and the shaped heart in the background. Shades: your use of the black shaped paper over the white black print paper is great. the doily cluster is great too. Embri, your owl card is Amazing! Love it. Actually all of your work is amazing. dasmith2, Fishing Fun: So adorable. I love the colored striped pp & polka dot running across the top. I tend to use blues for fishing, but I love this and can’t wait to copy it. Linda, Field Day: Love the torn edges and the layout design. Meow: love kitty pages!! This is adorable. Selfies: I love that you made the photos the star. 18: Beautiful double page. I love the cupcake and the 18 going down instead of across. nylene, Engaged: Love this. The colors and the photos are amazing. Tool Time: Everything about this page is fabulous. But that title and the pieced pegboard with tools has me swooning. justlisa7, The Girls: Love these pages. The circles on the right hand page really balance the large centered photo of the left side really well. Beautiful. Shaker Card: Fun card. teacherlisa, Winston: oooh! I just want to come love on that pooch. Great page. |

I need to make a Pikachu for a page I just made! I didn’t even think of it until I saw Charmander! Ty |

Once I finished the paper double the other day, I just kept right on with this single layout from the same kit. DD hid one morning in 2017, but left a note that if I catch her, she’d do school.  |

Wow, teacherlisa ! You have been a scrapping machine! I love your pages: the journaling is right on point and the photos do a great job of illustrating your points. Love all your affirmations and observations: I hope they continue to help you heal. And WTG racking up the points! LisaDV , I am so glad you took a photo of your dd's note. What a treasure! I love the way you used twine to frame the photo, and all your layering. Are you finding it fun to work with "real' supplies again? |

It's been a mad month so I'm only now getting around to doing some commenting. Sorry, ladies! I'll keep it shorter than usual so I can leave some love for as many Peas as possible.  Page 1: linda 'Poem' - Love that you decided to not only keep your daughter's poem but also honour it by adding it to your scrap album! The monochromatic green look is perfect for the poet's choice of subject. 'Cat & Zak' - Great layering and absolutely spot on choice of colours for all the papers you selected, wow! I love that their heads mimic the "puzzled in" look of the camera pattern paper. 'The Power of Imagination' - Loads of energy with your diagonal design here! I adore the attention to details with the repetition of the horizontal line pattern of the timber clad house in the background and the "cut off" roof top with those two tags. Very smart! 'Spring' - Such a fresh and clean LO to honour the season. The pink mat works perfectly for those flower photos. Love that you document the little things of life as well! 'Rodeo Queen' - Colour matching is your secret power, methinks.  That little journaling box popping off to the left works great. And I see no reason not to like your handwriting on this. 'St Patrick's Day' - Oh, what a neat stairway of papers (and a photo) all the way to your pot o' gold in the sky! You've done an amazing job with the sketch. It's vibrant, dynamic while keeping it true to your style! 'Okinawa Christmas' - What a lovely idea to document the gifts your son sent you! I'm sure he loved seeing what you all thought of the goodies he picked out for you. The koi paper from Photoplay is absolutely stunning and such a good fit here. I love that you included it in strips, reminiscent of the beautiful Japanese landscaping with their modern pathways and ponds. KikiPea'Love This Kid' - Gah, look at all those gorgeous layers full of whimsy and details! Lovely balance of vertical and horizontal in this. You're so good with contrasting directions and elements (the lines on the papers with the dotted circles, I saw that!). I love your colour scheme too. nylene'5th Grade Camp' - Oh, this brings back memories from going away to camp during my childhood and early teen years.  I love that you chose a before/after theme for this, how clever! Your camping critter scenery on the bottom is such a fun (and absolutely adorable) touch. 'While Shepherds Watched' - You're so good at recreating scenes to "place" your photos: the grassy hills with the shepherd and his sheep, the manger for the holy birth, so pretty and perfect! I am in love with your starry night sky. These "silly" photos are totally worth documenting and keeping track of in heritage albums: they show life and people as they are. teacherlisa'OLW March Prompt' - Congrats on keeping up with your One Little Word album! I love your neutral scheme with that pop of berry pink to break it up. I recognise that pretty relief paper... Sending you good vibes with the decluttering! #yougotthis |

LisaDV , I am so glad you took a photo of your dd's note. What a treasure! I love the way you used twine to frame the photo, and all your layering. Are you finding it fun to work with "real' supplies again? I am. So much so that I think we will be converting a guest room into a craft room after all. But it still won’t be for awhile |

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! those twine flowers I bought from Hobby Lobby online quite a while back. I have pinned how to make them but haven’t tried yet, I love these flowers and would love to be able to make a pile! |

I've got one more LO to upload for April, but I'm having a terrible time with Photoshop - I bought some more iCloud storage and uploaded all of my digital kits and layouts to iCloud, but I didn't realise that it still takes up space on my hard drive. So now I don't have enough memory to run Photoshop properly. ARRRRRGH! It has taken me two days to add the finishing touches, but PS keeps crashing.

I love that you chose a before/after theme for this, how clever! Your camping critter scenery on the bottom is such a fun (and absolutely adorable) touch.
