Hello!
I’m collecting 12x12 ledger print papers for a project. Any color, the more, the merrier! Even simple stripes that could work the same. Usually they’re the B sides, so traditional searching hasn’t been helpful. Can y'all point me in the direction of any you’ve come across?
Also, anyone know where I can purchase tile style letter stickers that have smaller numbers on them in the corner, like game tiles? I kid you not, I’m using some that I believe are Echo Park, from 2012!!😂 they were part of a 12x12 sticker sheet that I cut apart to store/use the alphas separately. I’d love to snag something similar.
Thank you for all your help!

I will look into the AI stuff…maybe. That stuff still wigs me out! 😝
It’s so frustrating, having to come up with a title for every stupid page. 😝😂. Working on a week long visit with a friend in Florida, and coming up with a title is honestly making me rethink putting some photos in my album. I mean, will my grandkids be happy to know that my friend is a wonderful hostess and had freaking awesome snacks? But, it isn’t about the food, it about how conscientious she is about asking what fruit I like, what drinks I enjoy, etc.
Well dang. I just found my title!! 😂😂😂
“It’s not about the food”
I’ve been wracking my brain trying to come up with something pointing to her being a wonderful friend and hostess.
Unless yall have any other ideas….I’m all ears!!

Do yall know if rose gold or copper enamel dots exist? I’m working on some photos with Jen Hadfield’s Flower Child and would like to add a touch more to a few pages.
I looked on scrapbook.com and am currently checking out ACOT.
Thanks for any help yall can give!

To me, florals in general aren’t a fad. Llamas, sloths, typewriters, roller skates….those are more trendy or faddish in my opinion. Most florals are like a basic, or staple in my stash. Generic, I think is the word I’m looking for! Like striped paper, enamel dots or tags.

Does anyone else sometimes clean your scrapspace instead of your actual house? Me. That would be me. guilty <raising my hand> Also, once I’ve sufficiently created the perfect tornado scene, jump on here to get, you know, ideas and support for the..uh, creation I created….

I’d be embarrassed to find out, but man….would I adore an uninterrupted weekend to see how much damage I could do!
Without buying anything but adhesive and albums/page protectors….i bet I could make 100 pages before noticing any shrinkage in my paper hoard. Embellishments and Thickers(including “thicker-ish”) probably 50.

My Joann store has had the same designer lines for about a year now. Has anyone heard of there will be new collections offered, or which ones?

I SUCK at this. My arms are scratched and my back is tired, and my tree looks like an ornament factory THREW UP.
I’ve loved my tree in the past, but I just can’t get it together this year. I have to freaking move on and finish the house so I can put the boxes away. Uggghhhh why did I wait so long! I wish I had time to take it all down and start over. I don’t know what it needs. I love their ribbon. I love the ornaments. I can’t make it look cohesive.
Pity party over, back to work. I’m calling it in 1 hour, then I’m moving on to the mantle.
Merry Christmas!!😝🎄

I love them….i send them to my adult kids sometimes, just to be silly and let them know they're on my mind. So it isn’t a stretch for some scrapbook pages to have “play on words” type titles, since they are so much a part of my personality and sense of everyday humor!

Freaking flamingoes!!
We live near a beach so I have plenty of shore/tropical/beachy photos, but do I really need every layout to include flamingoes!?
Palm trees as well, but those make more sense in my brain😂

justcindy did you put that page together? Would love to see it. I did, and I really like it! Haven’t added journaling yet. Let me see if I can figure out how to post a photo!

Can you cut a phrase you like for the title out of the background, then back it with a layer or two and glue it over the top? Or use a large sheet of vellum under the other layers, to mute the look of text in the background? Maybe leave an inch wide border around the edges? Put your title on the vellum? Love love love the vellum idea, mixed with the highlighted phrase! Perfect! You are so creative, thank you!

I want to use a paper from Jen Hadfield’s “Flower Child” line, with all the words and phrases, as a background for my page. I love these types of patterns, but struggle with coming up with a title that seems to compete with the pattern. Whether it’s the words themselves, or just adding more letters to a paper that’s filled with them.
How do yall use this type of pattern, and deal with a title, especially as the background sheet?

Yall, I have searched Pinterest and google for ideas til my eyes are crossed and have come up with a big fat goose egg! My sister and her 2 adult daughters and I are going on a one day road trip to an antique-junk-trade days event. I want to come up with some kind of silly/fun game or challenge for while we are there, but my imagination and google are letting me down! Something along the lines of buying something for $5 that…… ?? I want us to draw names so we have a person in our group to shop specifically for, but what can the hook be to make it funny? Edit to add: I got the idea last night when I saw a group of women about to leave for a trip together. They all bought hilarious t shirts and whichever one they randomly ended up with, they had to wear it on the airplane the next day!

Given Colorplay is reportedly Photoplay's in-house brand, I would prefer the company use the same finish or differentiate between their two brands with weights/textures like Echo Park (i.e. Echo Park paper is 65 lb/smooth, while Carta Bella, a brand under the Echo Park umbrella, is 80 lb/linen). I’m so glad to read this…I’ve noticed some of what I thought were Photoplay lines, having the glossy-ish finish. I was really bummed, thinking Photoplay was changing over. I really dislike working with the slick papers.

There's a video on Youtube somewhere called "10 things you didn't know about your Silhouette" or something like that, where there was a checkbox you could check that would make the machine cut right to the edge of the 12 by 12 grid. I can't remember what menu you had to go into the find that option... My problem is, if I close the software, when I open it again it has reverted back to a Portrait sized mat (on my screen) and the gridlines turn off. UGH! Mine is doing that as well! I've restarted my computer, I've restarted the Silhouette, this is just weird. I keep thinking it's because I'm rusty and am forgetting something obvious. But there's other weird stuff as well.

I haven’t used my silhouette in several months, but set it up yesterday and updated the software to the most current edition.
I’m running into quite a few issues that I’ve never had before.
The biggest pain is the fact that it will not cut the full 12.” I’m trying to cut some borders for sb pages and the largest I can make them without going outside the cut line is about 11.8”. I’ve tried ignoring the cut line and sending it to cut anyway, because the paper it there, in all it’s 12x12 glory, but it will still stop at the imaginary line!
I’ve checked the page set up settings, it’s all set to Cameo 12 x 12 mat as well as paper.
What am I missing?

Thank you all ( get real, I’m from Texas!)
Thanks, Y’all, for all the commiseration! I kept the background page but started over with the photo and new supplies, and ironically, used a Shimelle sketch! 😂 I also used another piece of advice given here and once I had the bare bones of it, put the sketch out of site and made it my own.
Aaaand I now love it!
I didn’t follow the advice of journaling first this time, but I’m definitely going to use that strategy soon.
I might even try to learn how to post a photo to show y’all how it ended up! Not perfect, but was able to use all the elements that go with the story, and it’s DONE!
