kitbop that card was lovely last month and your reproduction of it is lovely this month. Love the little mushrooms and flowers and the colours. Since you actually made this card in April, I don't see it as cheating at all. I am sure it will be much appreciated by the recipient.

kitbop - really like the unusual colour choices you've made for those Funki Fungi die-cuts! It's surprising how long it can take to colour piece-work like that, I hope the recipient appreciated your hard work. Stuff from yesterday and today.  Just some animal heads. Alcohol markers as usual.  Tiny Gift Box Fox and Raccoon. With any luck I'll have a rabbit and bird to add to my collection shortly. Coloured cardstock, with some very minimal marker for fox's cream bits and cheeks. Now with better picture that doesn't wash out all the colours.

This layout uses pieces from AE tech story kit and a whole bunch of labels.The layout is about the little text messages my boyfriend and I send eachother throughout the day. Not sure if you can read the journaling or not... most texts are self explanatory except for “my dad is crying” which is something my BF txt me when his dad wants him to visit. His dad is a capable adult,is not literally crying and we are joking😝. The other text that is not self explanatory is the “you’re liberal” text. I am mostly liberal and he is conservative. As time has gone on in our relationship... I have pointed out ways he is not quite as conservative as he thinks, and he points out ways that I am more conservative than I may think. We also say it out of the blue just to make eachother laugh. It’s not meant to be a huge political statement or hurt anyone’s feelings. With those disclaimers... this l/o is worth 13 points  |

Embri, your critters are just so darn cute! Love that you created boxes with some of them! Awwww, thracian. Such a perfect sentiment for that photo. Love all the pretty colours and how you tuck in all those interesting elements as always. teacherlisa that screen shot is wonderful and the title is PERFECT! Your journaling on the Picking up the Pieces page shows your resiliency. You may feel flawed. But you are, indeed, FABULOUS!

This layout is about a new habit I’ve started...gratitude journaling. I use the DayOne app to journal and I created a journal just for this. I need to be better about it, but it’s a start. This layout is worth 18 points.  |

I remember one thread a while back you posted some in binders that you have done , and I loved all the little faces. I’ve never put one together on a page, I could never get mine to look quite right. But that was when I first started scrapping and didn’t have ink lol grammadee your cards are really beautiful I really love the backgrounds and butterflies are one of my favorites.

kitbop and AussieMeg, there is love for you in the Gallery. teacherlisa, your pages are wonderful. A gratitude journal is an uplifting experience, and by sharing it with us, you share the peace and joy of it. Some days more than others I need the reminder to "Choose JOY". Love your use of screen shots to illustrate your points. I love how you used the geometric heart design as a key to your photos.

 My first layout for April. I spent a long time fussy cutting those flowers and cutting the center out of the wreath paper. Points to come soon! ETA: this is a scrap lift from Laura Alberts who I watch on YouTube. |

Keep an ear out, I read on one of the threads here, that Pinkfresh should be having a warehouse box soon. I have never been disappointed. Can’t say whether or not that line will be in there. Also, although not lately, I have gotten a lot of Pinkfresh on Peachy Cheap and I don’t believe I’ve seen that line yet there so fingers crossed 🤞 it will pop up there as well. |

kitbop That card is beautiful! I love that grey paper! Amazing job with that cluster as always!  Trips and Teens - I love that tilt and the delicate scallop around the edge. I have photos like that too lol. There is always so much to look at on your pages, so many tiny details, I love the pop of the black and white against the colors. Embri those animal heads are the cutest! And I love, love, love the animal gift boxes! So unique! @kellem these pages are simply beautiful and I love the title about cancer being a word. I passed on this line because I thought would struggle to use it. I wish I hadn't passed on it! Beautiful heartfelt pages I love them! @aussimeg this is so lovely! I love the tilted frame and the big heart and all the layers. I love it all! teacherlisa the What's on my Heart is great! What an awesome thing to document! Really digging that colorful stripe with the kraft and that "pieced" heart! Love the enamel hearts and dots and the sentiment of the Gratitude Journal page. I really do like the way you document so many things about yourself. It's something I want to do as well but never get around to. I LOL'd at Hey Siri. I have some screen shots of things Siri has said too. And the Picking up the Pieces of Me page! I just love it. All of it! You are making me seriously consider an AE story sub lol! I love that you document the happy and the not so happy. grammadee those cards are so pretty! I love the colors you chose and those butterflies make me think of someone flying off to something better. thracian I love those colors! That grey works so well the beige color! Such a cutie as a subject too! I have to run, but will be back later to catch any that I've missed!

Yesterday and today's. A variety of die-cut animals running the gamut from incredibly unrealistic to fairly accurate in colour schemes. Also more galaxy. Sensing a trend yet? The large bear is a shaped card, tent fold at the top. Alcohol markers on 200/gsm cardstock, a few scraps of pearlecent and metallic silver, and black stamp ink for the bear.
 
My To Do pile is still mocking me. =_=; 
Everyone's stuff is really good! You're all very brave to document your lives in such an intimate way. Sticking this in a spoiler because it's of dubious merit and interest.
I'm sorry I'm not commenting more on individual projects. I write, and erase, and write, and erase, everything I try sounds wrong and dumb and leaves me anxious that I'll end up complimenting something that's a pre-made embellishment or something instead of whatever was hard work for the crafter - which is stupid, I know. There's no arguing with emotions. I'm not even sure if what's being shown off is work in progress or completed pages; that's how clueless I am when it comes to layouts. I've made exactly 0 scrapbook pages in my lifetime. Y'all are a million miles out of my league when it comes to anything that isn't a card, die cuts or colouring. Sorry :C |

KelleeM - beautiful layouts, I love the fussy cut edge and how you nestled in the photos, love the gold and the soft feel to the presentation. I'm so glad you get to "celebrate" that memory, I'm sure your emotions are a mish mosh with that and it was kind of you to share those with us. 2marbles - very cute layout, I like the tilt on your photo and your cluster with the title. Embri - I bow down to your colouring skills. Those are AMAZING and look store made.

joyfulnana I never would have bought this line but I watched Laura Alberts’ videos using it and loved what she did with it. I only bought 4 sheets of paper, the chipboard frames and the alphas. I fussy cut one complete sheet of florals. Thank you for your kind words!

I worked on the baby album for my grand-daughter at a crop this weekend. 8x8 so all she has to do is drop in a picture or two. Each set has a small space for her to journal.
11 Points for this one
