Leaving love for page 1. Finally.  KikiPea "Super J" Love the contrasting in colours (including saturation) and patterns. The doodly border really helped contain those softer grey stripes! And the photos are so much fun. You did so well representing the energy of J with the lightning bolt embellishment cluster!  Linda "Egret" The vertical white lines from your banners contrast perfectly with the diagonal water ripple waves and horizontal green grass edge. I love how all of this points to and frames the bird! "Happy day" Maroon done beautifully. The lined and floral patterns work so great together. "Stupid door" Sorry but the title just cracks me up. Straight to the point! I love that you captured moving out photos. It'll be a wonderful page to look back at when she's older and reminiscing all the fun she had at college/uni even with a "stupid" door.  "Nationals" I have no idea what's going on in the photos as CHS stands for 'centre hospitalier spécialisé' in French (specialised hospital centre).  I do know that I love how you make your "simple" style work for every single page you make. Again, I'm impressed by your attention to matching cardstock colours and making sure every border is done perfectly! "Graduation stadium" Very touching moment you captured and included in the album there with the empty chair in honour of the student. Love those cute graduation embellishments! "Graduation" Oh, that dark grey is a bold but very classy statement! The distressed design to the pattern paper looks very cool and is reminiscent of the old skool chalkboards which is so fitting for a graduation memory. Well done! "Graduation with teacher" Love the triple border for the photo and how horizontal you went on this one (I see what you did there, playing off the teacher's scarf/sash or whatever it's called - sorry, I have no clue about the terminology for the American grad outfits). "Graduation with family" Again with the vertical vs horizontal design! You're really good at this. The addition of orange strips is top notch: they're playful and smart aesthetic choices to balance things out and help the eye wander through the layout. grammadee"Birthday card" A pretty card for a pretty young lady! I love that you chose blue to celebrate her birthday. I bet she was touched to discover the scrappy inside. "Purrfect advice" Meow! This is such a beautiful page. I love everything about it. So dynamic and fun without taking the focus away from that awesome photo. I love the stencil work in this. Those green leaves are the perfect reminder of the cat's wild nature while fitting the carpe diem message perfectly.  teacherlisa"Some days are just hard" So sorry that you are living with RA. It's a difficult disease that requires daily management. I hope you're feeling better now! Design-wise, I really like how you let the sentiment breathe and take up room: it really underlines the crappy feeling you're documenting. Such things shouldn't be kept quiet. Journaling strips are always a major plus in my book! Beautiful job. "Monroe's" Great design decisions on this one! I love the white squares containing the photos on the second page to mirror all the white (and the Monroe's box) on the first. Gorgeous contrast and fun.  joyfulnana"WTH?!" What the heck, indeed! It's been a very odd spring in most of the North-Western sphere this year. The plus side is that you got to use all those pretty pattern papers to make fun banner strips for this awesome LO! I love that you photographed the layer of snow outside by picking objects that will show how thick the layer of fresh powder was like the car and balcony railing. The inclusion of the weather app snapshots is perfection. |

Again, I'm impressed by your attention to matching cardstock colours and making sure every border is done perfectly! Thank you - CHS is the initials of her high school (secondary school). She was on the Academic Team (they compete in competitions answering questions on all sorts of academic questions - her speciality was history and literature) all four years and her last year they went to the National competition and tied for 9th. |

You are on a roll this month, KikiPea! Love all the flowers and butterflies on the page with the group selfies. And the paper dolls on the blue/green pages are really cool. So great that you had this girlie weekend and that you have been able to scrap all the fun memories so beautifully! |

KikiPea I love the flowers and butterflies too. Did you color those yourself? All the embellishment is lovely. And I love that you managed to get shots of your group together. I take lots of photos when we go out but don't often get everyone in one picture (let alone several!)

I just created a double page. Taking the points for the pages now, but not sharing until next month (sketchy Saturday). I'm so excited though, because I've been waiting to scrap some of my chicks but couldn't find anything I really liked. The page is more about us all (including humans) enjoying the sun after winter, but I did us a chicken pic and 2 photos of dh with a baby chick.

I’m so far behind! For page 4 AussieMeg - Jake - this is beautiful! I love the colors and the Basic Grey papers it’s just beautiful! There is love in the gallery linda the colors in Fuji Television really make that photo pop, great choice! I’m really enjoying visiting Japan through your album Maritime Museum - it’s too bad it’s been closed, but I really like the little touches of the camera and the anchor that you added to the corners. Submersible - I love the pattern papered strips and the patterns you chose. You really made that sketch work for an 8.5x11 page! Submersible 2 - I really like the way you let the photos choose the color scheme. This album has to be so much fun to look through. @craftymom1 Great one! I love the colors and the clusters. You do such a good job of combining patterned papers. KikiPea happy belated birthday! That desert looks so yummy! I love love love your clusters! 2marbles - there’s love in the gallery! @callimom2 - the muted papers on the Baseball LO work so well with the photos! I love the design of this page, I may have to lift it oh I really love that confetti paper background on Different is Cool! The kite with the butterflies is perfect! Page 5 - @callimom2 love this paper! We just had a monster truck show here last weekend linda the photos on Soya are awesome! Your DS is good photog! Love how classic and clean these pages are. And I love the paper you used showing the galley, and the living quarters and sick bay. Great job! And the penguins are probably my favorite page! Love the stripes and the torn edge highlighting the smaller photo! And oh my goodness - Tokyo- love that die cut title and how nothing detracts from the beauty of the photo. @craftymom1 I love the layers on Click and Sunkissed. I love the way you use florals on boy pages - I need to learn to do that! All the bits and bobs, love it all! KikiPea what a fun time! And a fun spread! I love the way you framed the photos with the paper strips! And the banners are awesome! |

Finished 3 cards today. This first one--a bd card for my dd--is a lift. I will link it onto my "Inspired by justjac " thread as well. Awesome cards! I am loving all of the birthday cards with balloons. Gives me a great idea on how to use my QK balloon die And the one with the sunglasses is cool! |

Love your title, @calimom2, and love that striped border. Are those primary stripes on the paper? Or did you add them? Either way, they are a great way to recognize the beauty in difference. Clustering the photos gives lots of space for that border and its contrast to the background. Another awesome page.

It is part of the paper 😊 I liked it because it has the colors of the Autism ribbon (light blue, dark blue, yellow, and red) |

I have to chuckle at the placement of the arrow and the saying Go where you feel most alive because the arrow is pointing at the back of a sheriffs vehicle where a person under arrest would sit. Oops LOL  |

Oops LOL I thought you did that on purpose. It really draws you into the page, because you're like "what". Beautiful page. Love the stripes, title, and how you clustered everything. |
