Whoa! That's so cool. Thanks, Vicki!

As I approach retirement - that's is if I ever get to! - I think more about the order of my life. Getting my albums and genealogy done has a new urgency. I have adult kids that live at home, too, at least for a bit longer, so they can do the chores and Mama will play! Alas, it doesn't always...

I go back to see which ones really embarrass me now and need to be redone and which photos I have already used but need a re-do for a different album or family member. Lots of reasons. Sometimes it's just to enjoy them!

John Lennon (great journaling font), 1942 Report, Rub This!, Agreeable, Appendix 3.

I scrap about my immediate family, but also about my genealogy and family history. While I don't like to do AAM pages, I do have some albums where I have my favorite flowers and garden plans, my bucket lists, and things like that. I didn't used to but now I sometimes make pages just because...

Hi, Sarah! Welcome to Oscraps. We have a wonderful community here and one big happy family, and so glad you decided to join it!

This LO uses Mediterranka's template from the collab as a base with various papers clipped to the masks and an overlay over the top circle element. I'm not really one for bold or busy patterns but took a chance here because I love this background paper. Flipping it both horizontally and...

This is a lift of this LO by DonnaRCarroll To make the LO, I blended two papers from the collab for the background, then layered two larger photos over it. The first, of the tree trunk is simply cropped and sized with a white texturized and beveled border. The picture of the poor bird with...

Fabulous pocket but not pocket page! You have a page that reads traditional scrapbooking too, but it isn't. I'll have to look at this again and maybe lift it.

All around fun and so Christmas! Wonderful stacking and cluster work!

Yum! And I REALLY like your blackboard. It makes a striking LO as well as evoking the feel of a bistro.

My kids are grown now, but these would still be a great joke - and treat! - in their stockings and something for my maybe future grand babies. I love your color scheme. It certainly calls to mind coal and coal dust!

I was 6 the year this came out, but didn't dance to it until 8 or 120 years later when I learned to do the Swing. Your LO brings back such happy memories - and that's a large part of scrapbooking!

Your photos ARE amazing. I love the sentiment behind this page - He really does give us such wonderful gifts, if we only realize what they are!

Pia! This is marvelous! I love your stitched frames. They put me in mind of Mason jars with pretty covers.

I love your paper stack and your Santa but most of all I love your pictures. She looks like mischief could be her middle name and her animated face just oozes character!

This is just too cute! Love all your bling.

Your photos are just wonderful! I love the mix of B&W and color - it creates a lot of interest - and the active photos that add energy to the page. Great memories here.

How fun was this? Using the basic template, I added some paint over the paper that fills the tree for a little extra texture. The snow at the bottom is bits and pieces of the snowbank element. Then I just decorated the tree, applying garlands and scatters to the tree as a clipping mask. The...

I agree - great photo. And I can't quite tell whether it's an extracion or fantabulous masking. Either way, pixel perfect!
