Golden Girls themed May LOAD

Elsabelle, LOAD is less like a class and more like a series of challenges that a whole bunch of people take on. There is lots of inspiration for each prompt b/c you get a sample and then the other participants post their pages. The ladies there are also very sweet and hand out lots of positive feedback for your work.

If you want a push to just get creating, it can be a great boost. If you don't connect with the story prompt, you can always be guided by the technique prompt. And if you don't "feel" either one, you can create a page "off prompt". As long as you get one page (any size) put together each day, you can keep up. And if you miss a day, you won't qualify for any of the finishing prizes, but you can still catch that page up on another day during the month.

Most of the story prompts tend to lend themselves to scrapping yourself, and really encourage you to scrap your own stories. ("Tell about a time you...") But you can adapt it to the same story about anybody. I have already submitted my sample for one of the days, and I created a page about my dd.

If you want to take on the challenge to finish 31 pages in 31 days, this one is for you!

Yes, that stamp set is on my wish list.  I already have a bunch of stamp sets by Kindred Stamps, and I love them all.

Then, it was probably hers that I saw way back when 

I'd love to see a pic of your craft room if you'd like to share. Sounds like a fun place to hang out!

Yes and yes.

I’ve done the last two LOADs. I wasn’t sure how it would go, because I’m usually a slllloooowww scrapper and I know next to nothing about royalty or Chip and Joanna, the themes of the last LOADs. But I managed to make a layout each day, and a few of them are pretty decent. True to form, I only have general knowledge about Golden Girls. I think I watched it some back when it first came on. But I’m going to give it a try and hope it takes my mind off my radiation treatments, also happening in May.

I think I am going to use LOAD521 to scrap some travel photos from 2016 into a Sn@p 6x8 "flip book". I plan to do it like a children's book for my dgs who lent me his toy to take with me on my cruise. I had meant to do this after I returned, and had taken the photos for this purpose, but... life... He's not that little kid, any more, but now he can READ his book, so I am still in the window I think.

I have pulled out the travel photos and am going through them looking for the ones I need. I also have the journaling I did while on the cruise to help me document. I might slip the chosen photos into my travel journal so I have them in order and kind of connected to what happened (although in a kids' story book, the adventure becomes more important than the actual facts, I guess). Meanwhile, I may decorate the cover of the book. But that might get left until the end, too...

Then when I see the daily prompt, I can choose a photo and run with it!
