Oh, too funny Michele! And such a lovely certificate. Looks authentic to me!

Nice work. The yellow template really appeals to me.

Love this! I've done similar for my fur babies in the past. Always chokes me up to see this type of layout.

H = mountain HIKING

E = climbing Everest!

You've taken an Annie C idea and made it zing! Well done you. I expect nothing less.

That's what I've done so far. I created one narrow long rectangle in grey, saved as PNG. Then adjusted it with the Warp Brush and then each time I duplicated the rectangle on the actual canvas, I adjusted it more with Flip Vertical and Horizontal and used the Shear or Freehand tool to change the shapes a bit. Kept the widths on the page slightly different too. I have lots of overlays with dots and other shapes I can lay over the stripes after I colour them separately on their own layers. It's kinda slow but fun. It will be interesting to see if I even LIKE the effect after I get 'er done! I'm with Ann Seeber. Scraplift of the month sounds good to me. Maybe we can take turns choosing a layout for the others?

OK expert and creative comrades, I need some assistance. I have found a layout I like for some of the scrapbook pages I'm going to attempt to produce. Can you suggest the easiest way to re-create the lines in the background of this layout? I would use different colours, I think, but I like the effect. (From Gingerscraps)

I hope you're right, Cristina! Now that I'm looking at how to do the pages, I'm starting to worry. I've not done any two-page spreads so that's the first hurdle! I perhaps spoke too soon! 🤥

I have no layout to display here, but I decided I'm going to do a more traditional scrapbook project for a big event we just had in my home town: the unveiling of a heritage plaque that celebrates (with words and images) the founding of the place. I plan to make it for the Seniors' Club so those who couldn't attend will get a sense of how fun the day was (on Saturday) and how the planning and execution came about. This is not my comfort zone! But I think it will be fun. I am one of the authors of the plaque along with a friend who is also into our local history. BTW, the little lady in yellow at the left was one of our unveilers. Her family name is on the plaque, and it was her 90th birthday! She danced the rest of the day away at an open house bash and then at karaoke that night!

Not sexual, just very private!

I really love the overall simplicity but the lovely details in this layout. Beautiful.

Oh yeah, I'm in too.

Y = yell for help when things get rough

I feel a bit like a voyeur looking at this. But what a photo!

I am running out of superlatives to use! It's so lovely!

Even at a good discount, it's a bit pricey for me too. Don't think I could use the whole alphabet. Maybe I'll buy one or two letters.

Annie C's whole alphabet is on sale on Etsy for 55% off in case anyone is interested. The numbers are not posted there yet.

I know it's called football but if we use that term here people think of American football which, to me, is not very fun.

Here's to your dad! What a lovely layout for him.

I wouldn't call it claustrophia for me, but there are situations where I'm not comfortable if the space is too small and over-crowded (waiting rooms). And I don't like any crowds at all.

That could be a common house cat. Hope the efforts to save them make a difference.

I'm a soccer fan, love watching it. Men or women. It really is the beautiful game! Despite the cloud of controversy that appeared over the Canadian Women's Soccer team, I am still cheering them on. I hope they kick some butt and win gold (again). This is not any sort of political statement. Just my enthusiasm for their efforts. I wanted to use the slit corners. Seems I got only the one and the bottom right looks funny. Oh well, next time.

Love the green. Don't see it much in layouts and it's so fresh! I had a friend years ago who had to stay at the table until he ate all his peas, and he hated them. Still does.

I just think it's wonderful the work you do for those poor kitties! 🥰
