kiwigirl wowzers, what a gorgeous page! I so love that banner and the artsy card with the fun sentiment, the acrylic title, the fun little sprinkled embellies and that purrmaid or mercat or whatever, too cute I agree about the stitch rubons. I still have some from Martha stewart and doodlebug but I use them sparingly. I used the Martha stewart ones on my page, actually. Best invention ever! MDscrapaholic I love your take! That background paper with the banners that mimic the sketch is perfect for the fun pool photos

Such pretty papers stinkerbelle , I love those letters too, are they Making memories? I have some similar in black and red I think but they're not cool metallic colours like yours! Love the rosette and the bike with balloons, so cute! yes, the letters are MM. i have them in a few other colors and they're one of my favorite fonts ever. the ones i used here were from a teen line and i can remember when i bought it at target of all places

Linda I just love pumpkin guts photos! I really like that strip of pumpkins at the top and the purple behind the photos and pumpkin border to tie in with the title! @elaynef I really like your spin on the sketch! The papers are so perfect and I think it’s amazing you scrap for so many family members and are able to keep track of it all!

i know I’ve commented on a few of these elsewhere, but I don’t think I caught KelleeM. Your LO is so cute! what a great moment to document love the banner and embellishment on the photos! kiwigirl that is one bright LO! Perfect colors for a sunny vacation page and the caravan is too too perfect! As always, love those nuvos, and the white journaling on black strips is brilliant! sleepingbooty, this seems familiar to me, but perhaps not because I don’t remember commenting. If I did, I guess there’s a bonus for you! First, what a sweet tradition to document! I love those hexie title letters, the mix of patterns and the stamping. Also that little tree thrown in @elaynef I love that heart cluster! I really like how you made the sketch your own and I’m so happy you’re getting a lot done for the album if i missed anyone, i apologize profusely!!

joyfulnana yes, thanks for another 8.5x11 sketch! Your example is gorgeous, I really love the black mixed in with the pastels and the corrugated paper really adds a punch to the spread. Love those floral alphas too!

grammadee great job with the sketches! I love your colors with the gold mixed in! on the always find fun page, your little bits sprinkled about are great, and I love the arrow motifs! On the second, those photos are a hoot! Love the continued arrows and funky angles nylene, first thanks for your sweet comments and please, scraplift away any time you want! I love your snip snip page, from the title to the colors, to the cute scissors and comb to support your theme! What a cutie he is, both before and after and I totally love your interpretation of sketch #11! You definitely made it your own and it’s fabulous! The little icons are adorable as always and your photos are darling too! kitbop love your monkey girl page! What a perfect title for those fun photos I really like how you used the hello my name is card and the cute girl icon (I’m clueless as to how to use those things). The scallops are awesome!

check out mandy makes studio. she hasn't uploaded anything in awhile but look for videos with "DIY stash kit" in the title. she takes a hip kit and recreates it from her stash. i also really like julia gulley. she makes huge kits out of old stash, using the counterfeit kit challenge blog for inspiration. i've really gotten more into using old stuff by watching her videos. there's also nicmackin. look for her kit love playlist. she mostly uses collections though, not random stash. if you just do a search on DIY kit or stash kit you should find plenty

Linda your new kit looks awesome! can't wait to see what you do with it kitbop love all the awesome halloween goodness in that photo those mustard moon and chatterbox alphas were some of my faves back in the day! ETA: meant to say i'm finished with my fall kit. i made a total of 7 pages with it, which i don't think is too bad since i only had 8 sheets of paper to start. i love making my own kits but often don't take the time because i have so many pre-made kits waiting to be used. msliz thanks for the challenge, it was fun!

It would be good to have more 9x12 although I’d really like someone other than SC/Ali to be making them. amen to that! i'm cheap and no way am i paying those overinflated prices. i have one album i bought off steals.com i think? i am enjoying that size, but have maxed out the album. still tempted to try out the music sheet albums/protectors but am too cheap to pay amazon's prices too

Linda love that you're continuing to use bright colors on those zoo pages. i really like the purples in the carousel photo op page and the jaunty angle of the photos. i also really like the blocking you did on the carousel page; you got some great photos! the colors really convey a fun ride grammadee great job with my sketches! it's interesting how they're so different but you really made them look great together the colors are gorgeous, especially the chevron cardstock. i love the numerical title in the first page, and the paint swipes behind the title in the second. did you write out the "celebrate" with nuvos? if so, you go girl!!

and looks like we were posting at the same time Linda the lego page is great! i really like how you went with the bold colors instead of making it "girly" and the simple shapes atop the grid background make quite a nice impact

kiwigirl not sure how I missed it, but your DT page with the fierce title looks amazing! I like the nuvos on the journaling strips, the washi and that beautiful acrylic word can’t wait to see the reveal! sleepingbooty wow girl, you do so much with so little! The beautiful Christmas tree page for your Christmas album is gorgeous! I love the soft colors and giant title! Looks like your album will be stunning when you finish your naughty or nice page is equally stunning; love the emojis! Who will go on which page?? Lol I really like how you angled everything on the parcel page, and the plaid and little airplanes! Love the play on words with the reinbeer page, and what a fun tradition! The black and white goes very well with the woodgrain & cork, and I love the stamped sentiment the autos paper is perfect for the ikea page and I love that studio calico font I really like the border of plaids and the 3 cute little stars! nylene your grid page is fabulous!! Starting with that adorable photo I love that you embellished all the squares with the cute icons (and good for you tilting some of them! I hope you leave them; they’re perfect!) and the doodling between the grid lines is awesome! I also really like how the leaves break the grid and the cute layered title. Another favorite of mine! I love how the old wire & button embellishments look fresh and new on your Christmas ’17 page; great use of them! All the layering under the photo is perfect and I love the pops of white with the diecut shapes and numbers. I also really like the very thin white border mat around the red background, as well as the other layers behind. It looks like a lot of love went into the page MDscrapaholic I love how you used the old paper on your tom & jerry page! And that you kept it very simple against the busy swirly background you did a great job with the busy background on the fireworks page, too! I really like the cluster below the top photo and the photo of sleeping babies to support your journaling! dasmith2 what a perfect photo for that paper! Love the additional texture behind the photo with the tissue paper! Linda not sure how I missed your last Halloween page, but I’m glad I finally spotted it. I love the series of skinny photos and all the bright colors on the white background! your pony love page is great! I love the blue with the neutrals and all the tearing and cute pony embellishment!

Linda your notecards are very pretty and I love the variety of designs you came up with! Your 1972 page is awesome! I love the patterned top and solid bottom and the framing of the photo with the wide mat really makes it pop against the busy paper (which is gorgeous). I really like the bold title as well your 2010 fall festival page is another fun one! Love the design with all the torn strips and the 3 little brad accents at the bottom. The Viking veterinarian made me chuckle I really love how you used the spider paper on the trick or treat page; so difficult for an 8.5x11 scrapper but you rocked it! I like how you have so much journaling (and what a great story) and also the block with your photo, stamping and brads. That’s too funny you forgot dressing up in 1987! I have old photos like that too I like the journaling strips across the busy candy corn paper. You are really knocking them out with your kit!

i'm claiming 2 more points for a major clean up of my scrappy space. it's still not spotless, but i have enough stuff for a very large room and only a tiny space to put it in, so perfection isn't an option here glad to have it done, though; it was driving me crazy!
