Stickers, because they are so many different sizes. Any great ideas? you could put them all on a binder ring and hang from a hook

i saw that jen schow had uploaded a video about it but haven't watched yet. i know my daughter would really love it but i'm too awkward; what i'd end up with is a giant mess, all over me, the floor, probably at least one cat, and whatever it was i was trying to make. i know my crafty limitations!

Chinagirl828 I your sweet sunnies page!! All the little bits and bobs, especially the first of all you’re really pretty and the one about unicorns are just so perfect; love the color scheme and design too! I’m thinking you might see a lift of this from me I really love the design on the beach babes page, too. That background paper is driving me crazy though…just because I can’t remember who makes it. Sassafras? Regardless, love how you used such a bold paper for the background and made it work! kiwigirl another stunner from you! Oh wow the brackets pretty sure I used those a little too much way back when; they look fab here, along with the torn washi and all the other fun bits! Btw I finally got some fringe scissors and used them last month on my “old as dirt” LO (black border at the top) and really enjoyed them. So definitely go for it!! grammadee that wedding page is gorgeous! I love all the vintage touches like the lace and pocket watches and little cluster of flowers JaneB I really love the pops of color against all the neutral and those fun title letters! msliz I hope your daughter loves this album as much as I do love the journaling on the grid page, too funny! I LOVE the sequins on the castle page; seriously clever use of them!! All the gems on the seven dwarfs page are like the perfect embellishment ever! Really love all the borders too I really like the bold b&w stripe and fun banners on the page of the two of them together; those stacked tags are pretty darn cool too! The jack sparrow is just too funny! And I just love all the elements on the pirates ride page; the wheel, skulls, wave-like paper, torn edges, just perfect! KelleeM ooh I love that echo park paper! What a fun page to go with it really love the title and pretty sure the “can’t get any better than this” embellie is spot on! I just love the color scheme of the honeymoon suite spread; and again, you couldn’t have chosen a more appropriate embellie than the “grow old along with me” I really like the contrast of that gorgeous floral with the woodgrain! gramma such a cute spread! I really love the right side with the full costume reveals and fun quote, but love how you got so many photos on the left page, too craftykitten oh the little mice are so so cute!! I really like the design with the tags on both sides of the photo; I might just pinch that MDscrapaholic your Halloween page is just adorable love the grid and cute little owls! kitbop love your donut sushi! Great title work and such a fun design Linda I really like your navy page; all the elements are so perfect with your photo! And I have had the best time reading the stories about your dad; he sounds like a colorful character who lived a very interesting life what an absolute gift your mother gave you and you are giving your children! nylene love your warehouse sale page! The design is awesome, love all those strips! I really like the “in a perfect world” embellie too; ain’t that the truth! The story behind your butterfly page makes me sad for little you; I am guessing it turned out well though I really love the fun geometric background and how you echoed that gorgeous photo with the embellishments.

i think you jinxed me, because i tried to make a page last night and got so frustrated i had to pull it apart and i definitely chucked it! and then i was so irritated i just said to hell with scrapping, and went and did something else. i'm going to try again, hopefully with better results!

just wanted to add that if you’re taking photos of your creations with your phone, there’s a flickr app that makes it very easy to upload to your flickr gallery.

Chinagirl828 I always love your pages but I think you’ve outdone yourself here! It’s sooo pretty! First off, those photos are stinkin adorable, loving all those curls! I really like the soft pinks against the black/white polka dot and your mixed media is perfect!

mom love your baby page! Such a fun design and I really love the colors! The card is too sweet kiwigirl loving the sneaks for your first DT page! Sorry to hear the AT isn’t as wonderful in person I preordered a bunch but haven’t gotten it yet (thank you ACOT); I did order the single sheets though not the pad, so hopefully I won’t hate it. That’s so frustrating when that happens!! Your “I can I will” page is fabulous. Love everything, the dark background, the stripes, all the washi goodness, the sequins exploding everywhere, it’s gorgeous! kitbop what a fun page!! Love the title itself and all the fun fonts just make it so much better I really love that design too! Linda I love the bright colors on your pink dino page, and the cloud-shaped journal spot and of course the cute little dino herself I hate LOs like that, so frustrating! But yeah, take a deep breath and say, “oh well” and move on is my mantra! I really like the fun word art on your museum page and great colors; that purple is glorious! In case no one answered your punch challenge question, check out DawnMcD’s diecut/cricut/etc. challenge grammadee so so gorgeous!! What a lovely tribute to your amazingly long marriage!! I really love the little frame housing the date and yup, those glasses are pretty fabulous too! JaneB love your page! I really like the photo in the background and all the nature-y colors. And what a sweet memory of dawn inskip

what a great haul!! the one i went to last week didn't have that awesome doodlebug pack or i'd have snatched that up! they did have others but none interested me. i did buy a few of those $4.99 alpha packs because i've always loved doodlebug alphas.
i love the echo park pack you bought too! i bought it back in the day when it very first came out. when echo park started out they planned to release a new collection every month and i think that was possibly their second.

Chinagirl828 that’s great! JaneB what gorgeous colors! Love the little plane and tag/tickets/charm cluster! Linda dang girl, save some points for the rest of us I love your torn sunrise border too! And that atom thingie is adorable I love the little pop of color with the butterfly on the museum page, and I have a story about a white squirrel: when we visited Washington D.C. in the 80s, we saw one. Well I took a photo because it was really cool. Got the photos developed and no squirrel! So yeah, I totally saw a ghost squirrel in D.C.! very nice to see you on some of these pages DawnMcD what a gorgeous LO! I love the color scheme and giant title; great take on the sketch, too, and wowza for 30 points! MDscrapaholic I love both of your pages! I love how you used those old jenni bowlin alphas on the first one, and that notebook cover paper is too too cool! The silly goose made me smile did you make the background of the second with alphas? If so, kudos to you, I’d never have the patience for that! Your layering is great, btw, keep it up! crystalb what a fun, colorful page! And Clifford! We love Clifford in my house love all the layering and the fun top border of things peeking out! And 32 points may be the record for a single page LO, you go girl! kitbop love your page! The heart border is so cute and I love all the layering and washi and inking and stitching and is that modeling paste on the torn blue piece? Great stamping too!

Chinagirl828 what a fun page! Love the notebook paper and stamping, and I must say kudos to you for using those round alphas! I hate the things, they never line up and I finally had to get rid of all mine, poor things. Very fun story, too! You were adorable crystalb dang girl 18 points is pretty amazing! I love all the borders, especially with the banners atop them!

kiwigirl your pages are fan-freakin-tastic!! that's definitely not a collection i'd have bought, either, but oh what you did with it girl... my favorites are your kitty pages he's so darn cute! and kitbop blepping is just weird, but TFS! we have one cat who does it constantly and it's so funny. you can even touch his tongue and he keeps it hanging out and seriously, who chose that name and why did they name it in the first place? i love ridiculous trivia like this!

i use a notebook to keep track of points. after i upload the LOs to the thread and type my list of challenges, etc., i immediately go update my spot, where i keep a running total. the 2 minutes spent doing that is well worth it because i can't imagine how long it would take at the end of the month. i mean, i did something like 50 pages last month and i'm busy getting my ducks in a row for the next month's challenge...so yeah, simple notebook and running total are how i roll
