i love to buy stencils but am not so great at using them! and i tend to buy similar ones multiple times, like i have lots of different types of dots or hearts. i did use my oxides with a stencil for this background XO by sadkid, on Flickr but i tend to use them with texture paste. i will occasionally spray but i usually screw that up somehow so it's not often i'll attempt it.

MDscrapaholic love your sketch example! The colors are gorgeous and I love the title running through the middle and also the wording around the edges. The one large embellishment cluster is so pretty! Thanks again for a great sketch Chinagirl828 love love your take on this one…the colored band under your title, the additional areas of embellishment you added, and of course those photos are the coolest thing ever! I’m so jealous! Lovely page JaneB love in the gallery for you hon! KelleeM I commented in the sharing thread, but love your take on the sketch!

grammadee , justjac , nylene , gramma , kitbop Chinagirl828 there's love in the gallery for you ladies! Linda I think your navy album title page is awesome! That old page topper (which is still cool in my book), the sailor and the little scene behind him are all just perfect for the page! I like the shipping out title, too, and the banners and stars. On the pages with the letters (which is also a really cool addition) I love the minimal embellishment and of course my favorite color combo KelleeM love how you used my sketch on the flurries of fun page! The little snowflake trails are subtle but make a big impact! Great job with the second sketchy Saturday sketch; love the punny title and adorable photos! I think your nuvos look great, wtg tackling that! MDscrapaholic love the cool Disney page! Funny how the colors really go well with the vintage photos, better than they do with modern photos, eh? (although I still use them lol) I really like the balloons; for some reason they just stand out to me and make me smile love the soft colors and layering on the wedding page, and the mesh makes a great backdrop to the tiny embellies! I love the rear view mirror page, the photo is so cute and the story is great too! Also love the adorable fox gale w your friends card is stunning! I love love that diagonal stripe with the brighter colors and the sentiment is gorgeous, both the wording and the color you added to it. love it! kiwigirl once again, your sneak peeks are driving me to distraction! Looking good and I can’t wait for your blog post in November!

So - I finally get to scrap. Sept and Oct have been nasty work wise. Do we have the "other crafts" challenge again this month? 1 point per hour, right? LisaDV ? Did you pose this challenge and I missed linking it? If it is not actually stated, gramma , I would say just claim it anyway, b/c it is a regular monthly challenge. stinkerbelle ? sorry, just now seeing this! i would say claim it! i know craftykitten has been doing a lot of things other than scrapping and i've encouraged her to take points too.

i nearly always love CV and this collection is no exception. i think it would mesh nicely with some of the pinkfresh indigo hills 2 line. i'm glad you picked it up JaneB and kiwigirl please please try and use it for your DT project, i know you'd make beautiful things with it

i actually like more of this than i expected. so many gorgeous florals hate those triangle enamel dots and multi-colored thickers but since pretty much everyone i'm related to wears glasses, i do like the animals. and i'm lucky my middle child loves animals and she thinks that sort of thing is cute; i'll probably be using cute animals on her pages when she's 30! i doubt i'll get any on my own, but if it comes in a kit, i'd be happy with it.

JaneB what a cool wreath! i'm like your hubs, i'd have the entire house in and out decorated if i could. alas, nowhere to store the stuff when not in use! your new wheels look quite spiffy; hope it loosens up soon before all your muscles get locked up!

as usual, my reaction is the opposite of everyone else's i like this collection the best out of all of them. i wouldn't buy or use every paper and definitely not every embellishment, but i love the colors. glitter girl and box of crayons just looked like 1998 scrapping supplies to me and i don't get that vibe from this at all. i do definitely see the disney influence, even with the dragons. so i'll have to get the glitter thickers (the font on those blue ones is atrocious; that definitely looks very early 2000s to me!), those amazing puffy hearts and probably some of the papers. i tend to stay away from her stickers and ephemera. i'm sure if i keep up with my new hip kit sub i'll be getting some bits of the line.

kiwigirl I totally love your signature scent page!! So clever to use the box and I love the color scheme. the dark embossing looks really cool with the white splatter over the top and I love the mesh and little scattering of buttons, your awesome multi-font title, the nuvo border, all of it is just gorgeous! gmcwife1 more beautiful cards from you! I really like that music paper for the tree and the stitching really ups the fanciness. Linda your US Navy page is great, just enough extras to look pretty but not compete with those great photos. Congrats to your son! Also since my birthday is july 4, I’m a sucker for the red/white/blue combo on the new flat page I love that coffee cup paper and contrasting orange strip. The big title looks awesome! i've left love in the gallery for you grammadee and JaneB

i would agree that i am very good at shopping. but i'm probably best at not stressing about the small stuff. i can't be bothered to put pages in any sort of order, i don't have matching albums or separate albums for separate people or subjects, i don't scrap in any sort of order, i don't care that i embellish too much and make some really ugly-ass pages sometimes, i don't care if it's trendy or cool as long as i like it, etc. etc. etc. i just do me and if that's not to everyone's taste, i accept that.
i read threads and just shake my head sometimes at what people put themselves through, all because the album color has been discontinued or the "next" set of photos is uninspiring or whatever. scrapbooking should not induce stroke or heart attack!

absolutely my mood. i was getting ready to do something recently and my boyfriend pissed me off and that was that. i did finally go create, but only after i took a very long nap! along the same lines, if i get interrupted a lot it really kills the mojo. that's why i like scrapping late at night and early in the morning when all the interruptors are still sleeping! (and tangent; these people are grown-ass adults, they can't leave me alone to do my thing?! what's up with that??)

Linda love the monochromatic scheme on the typhoon page, perfect match! I think the Halloween paper on the foodie page is genius the colors match so well and that little oven mitt sticker is adorable! I love how you added the blue in the barracks lobby page and the cute little banners with the title! Love the huge title on no turkey and also the strips; wish I could see his expression! gale w love love your snowglobe card! The swirly background, the sequins, stitching, the globe itself with the adorable critters, love it all! There’s love in the gallery for grammadee, kitbop and JaneB

oh and what i'm up to. well, i'm doing fabulous on the buying side of things. not so much on the scrappy side. i'm SO close to killing my kit for the kit game and i can't wait to finish it so i can tackle some other challenges. i'm off friday but will spend quite a bit of the day picking up my daughter from college, so i highly doubt i'll get anything done then. then i work saturday and sunday and am off my normal monday/tuesday, and i'll definitely be making something then.
