Love it!! The monogram on bbq is so snazzy, as is the writting. Love the colours, really suits the theme too. Nice work.

I totally love how you crossed out your autumn stamp in the title! It is really eye catching. I think the leaves are great to use instead of the flowers of the sketch. The circle punched photos are not really grabbing me. I love the journaling matted on top of the squares. It sounds like a fun memory!

Awesome LO with lovely colors! Love the greens & browns! As usual you do such a great job journaling and telling the story. I particularly like the way you journaled in squares matted by pp.

First, I love the altered poison-ivy b. Once again, you inspire me with your creative use of multi-photos with the photo leaves on the letter and the circle punch-out of the trees. I have to say, though, that I wonder if cat-eye or rounded square shapes might be more relative than circles on this page. Still, K is right that the triangle does a good job of directing attention. I love the stamp font of the title and the journaling on the "wood" strips. Nice pp and colors. The different sized blocks and the crossed out elegant stamp in favor of your handwritten scrawl definitely lend to the edginess you wanted to convey. One more thing, since I know how much word choice means to you, I would've added finally before occurred. Way to tackle two challenges at once!

Adorable topic... love the woodsy paper and ephemera. Great use of matting.

This rocks! There is so much visual interest here. The "b" looks awesome and I am loving that you combined the two challenges. The colors are perfect and I love the irreverance of the stamp and marking through it. The colors are perfect and as always, your inking finishes things off nicely. Scrapulous!

The leaves are fab!!! I really like the journalling and the stamps are great!! The B looks fanatstic too!! Great job!!

Sharon I love those leaves! They are so much fun and add so much visual interest. The juxtaposition of your journaling panels are so cools and I love to see your handwriting! I think it's cute the way that you crossed out autumn! I like how the 'B' stands out and the piece of ribbon. The circles create this awesome visual triangle that just pops out at me!

Beautiful! Love the " b" -the leaves ( what a great idea to make them from the photos) and the twine and the inking make it stand out and look so appropriate for the lo! i like that you made the photos bigger-makes them stand out! Love the journaling on the pp! What a great story! You did great job on the " B" and on the sketch!

This is absolutely amazing. I love the the feel of this whole LO. The stamps are all awesome (and the one crossed out was a great diea). Love the look of the journaling blocks. Using the pictures when you punched was a great idea. Your "b" looks awesome. I really think the different margines work with what you were going for.
