[aussie_caz]

great projects Bec!

[Sandra from NC]

Those are Awesome Bec!

[paminsd]

Bec, you've done a fantastic job on your layouts.

The really cool thing about Bec's stuff (and yes I am BIAS!!! Bahaha!!) Is that she hybrid scraps - she does all her stuff on the computer - and then she uses my cut designs which she cuts out with her wishblade!!!!

I think that is cool - esp since I am TOTALLY a traditional scrapper!!!!

As always - Luv em Bec!!!

Lori

[barracudasue]

I'm in the process of working on one now...maybe two. :D I have lots of idea swimming in my head for these but I'll have them done before the deadline! ;)

Been busy but I've been around reading and lurking! :p I'm back!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

[ChrisDurnan]

I like those layouts Bec. And I love the hybrid.

Welcome back Sue!!!! haha. :-)

[barracudasue]

LOL Thanks, Chris!

Caz, Bec...love your LO's!

[rsmobley85]

I have only done the Hybrid thing ones. And I liked how it turned out.

Christmas before last, I had a hard cover book made at snapfish will all the pictures of my daughter and then boyfriend, and all their pictures. I knew there were going to get married, So I did one of them of their journey there. When I got the book, I then made files to go on each page. And it turned out beautiful.

In fact, I was just working on converting those last night, they will be up soon. And fit our current grab bag theme.

Love seeing every ones project, I need to arrange my time better so I can play more.

Sorry it took so long to get this posted....ROFLOL

LOVE this file, Lori! It touched my heart the first time I saw it and I KNEW it would revolve around my DGS, Clay!

I think I gave this design a whole new meaning!:D

Heading over to my album to put it in there, also.

Thanks for hosting, Sharon and thanks for looking everyone!!!!!!;)

[BelovedKeepsakes]

LOVE IT!!!! Sue email me the photo!!! I can't believe how BIG Clay is!!!!

Lori

[Games]

Great job ladies! All soo beautiful and different! ;) Love them! :D

[paminsd]

Here's mine using Little Creations Campfire title. The pic isn't very good quality because it was taken through the heat of the fire, and it makes it kind of wavy, and also I printed it out on the printer in here that doesn't do as good as my really old printer in the farm office. I will probably reprint it. Paper is one from last fall that I love by Bo Bunny Jan Lanoy Splendor. I was thinking about calling this one Campfire Girls...I used to be a Campfire Girl, I don't even hear about them anymore.
Pam in SD

[rsmobley85]

Wow, Who knew a campfire could be girly, Great job. love that paper.

Sharon

[paminsd]

Yeah, thanks, I was thinking the same thing, unusual paper for a summer night by the fire. LOL I am happy that I used an older piece of paper though. :)

Gorgeous job, Pam!!!!!!:D

[Games]

Beautiful Pam, I thought the same thing Sharon said. ;) I do love it! I have never heard of campfire girls. Maybe that is what we horse show gals should have called ourselves? lol. We loved the evening campfire, music, and chatting. ;)

[paminsd]

Thanks. Campfire Girls is like Girl Scouts, but we started out as Bluebirds instead of Brownies. LOL, that was in TX in the 50s, jeez!:eek:

Gorgeous colours Pam, what a fantastic layout!

[lisaavolio]

You all are doing wonderful, creative work. I'll be able to copy some of those ideas when I have more time.

I am so busy, I made myself stay up late and do a page using parts of Sharon's Play Date at the Park file, RM00063. My husband doesn't understand me at all on nights like this. :D

Here it is- I did it to do double duty for the Bingo challenge-
