Chinagirl828 beautiful as ever! And what a great story, I want to go hang out in a record lounge! I love that you included your favorite album cover and the circular background reminiscent of an album. I really like all the black and little pops of red! grammadee again, love those painted triangles! Such a clever interpretation of the sketch! KelleeM super cute page! Love the ribbon threaded through the photo mat and wow, those are the cutest wood veneer critters ever! Great job with the shaped eyelets and old florals; love the shaped paper too! She’s such a darn cutie crystalb love your take on the sketch! I really like how you added the emoji washi to match your pants and the fun doodling on the papers, as well as all the nuvo goodness and scattered triangles. Cute pup and great page! JaneB ooh girl, love your take on the sketch! I really like that dotted circle double border around the page! Linda love how you made the sketch work for you! Those bright colors are very eye-catching and I love the sentiment! I really like the orange and grey colors on the Tallahassee museum page; the simple patterns work so well together, especially when repeated in the opposite color. Love all the banners too! Great job with the sketch I really like that green background on the gator page! Not sure why, I’m not a green fan but it’s calling to me today. love the addition of the blue. I once held a baby alligator and it peed on me! the wildlife page is fabulous; love how you got all those papers in there and all the photos and it doesn’t look crowded at all. Really digging those title alphas too! MDscrapaholic what a great school page! First off, that it’s not all primary colors, awesome, and I really love the nuvo border on the 7!! Also those old jenni bowlin alphas that I wish I had 40 sheets of super page!! LisaDV great interpretation of the first sketch! Love the stitching and colors, but my favorite part is probably the little “sell it” word strip, along with the journaling. Too funny! Really like the little camera charm and crown too! woodysbetty aren’t you a smarty for using that paper!! Awesome interpretation of the sketch; love all those bits of black and the white title!

Oh no! Somehow, I missed the sign up thread. I can’t believe how many points some of you ladies racked up last month. You ladies ROCK!!! I won’t get to participate in the teams, but will play along with the challenges. 😁 stinkerbelle, what about letting KikiPea join in. She can be on my team! I think the end of August slipped by many of us too quickly. it’s fine by me

Goodness kiwigirl for not liking this collection you rocked the hell out of it! Love all the florals on the shine page; the nuvo border matches perfectly with the woodgrain paper and adds the perfect touch of sparkle. I really like the Maggie holmes goodies you added too! Mr. wonderful is simple perfection! I love when you do 9x12 I like the little bow sandwiched between the inflated hearts, so cute! Always be awesome is my favorite; love those photos! I really love that you used the same paper in both 12x12 and 6x6 the frame, the nuvos on the parentheses, the washi, the nuvo border…just love it all! Oh and how you highlighted the ME in awesome is another of my favorite details. Geek factor is gorgeous too! All that amazing texture love how you used the washi and crepe paper, the raggedy notebook edge…wish I had a tenth of your creativity! Definitely checking out the blog post!!

oh to answer the rest of your question Linda i think it just takes practice to learn how much pressure to use to get even dots. and mine certainly aren't even 90% of the time! i find the smaller drops are more difficult. since kiwigirl is the expert, i'm sure she can help more than i can

Linda i would say start out with whatever color you think you use the most OR something neutral like white or grey. don't do black; that one seems to cause everyone problems. my first batch included pink, turquoise and yellow. not sure of the actual colors but i can get them for you if you're interested.

scrapnnana have you checked out scrap your trip? they have lots of single sheets, as well as packs, and lots of interesting and useful papers you wouldn't find in collections by echo park or simple stories.

Whether you keep it on a piece of paper or make a post and edit each time is up to you.

i was going to suggest shrink wrapping the sterilite drawers as well, either that or moving them in a personal vehicle rather than a moving truck. when i moved from missouri to arizona, the majority of my scrappy stuff went into my car (which we towed on a trailer) because i didn't trust anyone else to touch it congrats on the new place! i have no suggestions for things you should keep handy, but i'm sure others will.

woodysbetty what a great page! I love the monochromatic thing going on but the pop of red is awesome too! I really like the giant title and fun borders christinec68 what a sweet photo love the awesome old pink paislee alpha, black background, fun cluster at the bottom, the paper strips, everything! grammadee you’ve been very busy with cards this month! I really like the watercolor background of the thanks card, coupled with the torn and inked edge; so very pretty! The sympathy card is beautiful and just perfect for the occasion, so to speak. Linda you’ve just been a scrapping fool again this month! I admire your tenacity in finishing up these unexpected photos. I think I’ve said this before, but I think you do a lot with very little in terms of product and your photos are really the stars of your pages Chinagirl828 another lovely page from you. I really like the contrast of the ledger paper with the watercolor and the colors are just gorgeous! kitbop I love your high school page! Not overly theme-y, just enough and the kraft cs tones down the brightness of all those primary colors. I’m sure you’ll have a chance in the future to finish all the challenges sleepingbooty I’m glad you posted, I really enjoy your work! My favorite is the page with the cat because…cats. But they’re all beautiful but in French! JaneB so glad your new ramp is a winner! I really like the pops of red and very understated garden-y embellishments. craftykitten you are just an inspiration, girl! After the crappy month you’ve had, you still did a lot of crafting and I’m so glad you’re here with us leaving you love in the gallery! DawnMcD left you love in the gallery and will be leaving more! KelleeM ooh I love all the texture in your home sweet home page! The colors are gorgeous too! cristelina so glad to see another rectangle scrapper in the bunch! And I’m very glad you’ve posted your pages for us to ooh and ahh over I really love all the mixed media on the girls just want to have fun page; lots of great texture going on! The easter page is simple but stunning! Love that fabulous background that reminds me of stained glass and the xoxo paper, which is an interesting choice, but so totally works! Also love the very understated embellishment. The made you look page is another stunner; my favorite part is the flowers and fun colors! Love the mix of patterns on #yum and the stack of teacups is adorable. Really love that bold black and white stripe! I’m glad you’ve signed up for September! gramma you went out with a bang this month! I think your swingin spread is my favorite from you this month; I really like the fun, happy feel and gorgeous colors. MDscrapaholic your last page for the month is another stunner too! I really love that you didn’t shy away from the pinks, even with the 2 men in the photo I really love the pop of blue; unexpected but totally perfect. The inking against the soft floral has great contrast. Love it all! LisaDV I’ll be leaving love in the gallery!
