Has anyone participated in this before? Debbie Hodge was talking about it on the PRT this week and it sounds kind of fun!
I'd love to hear from people who have done it before. Is it weird to jump in if I'm not a member there?
Talk me into it! Haha!

It's a month long online crop basically--over at 'Get It Scrapped'. They have challenges and competitions based on how much you create, etc. It's just for fun and to stay motivated. I'm not the best person to ask though since I haven't done it! Here's a link: www.debbiehodge.com/gisforum/index.php?showforum=478 |

This looks like a BLAST!
I think I used to have a login identity over there, but neither me nor my computer can dredge up the user name or password (or both in the same place), but when I get that worked out I think I am IN!
LOVE a competition!
And I also think any players should share our creations in the 2 peas gallery AND in a thread here!

I had never heard of this before, but I signed up. It sounds fun. Nothing like a challenge to get my mojo working. Thanks for sharing.

If anyone is wanting some inspiration, I found some youtube videos of people preparing by making page kits ahead of time. I watched a couple while scrapping last night and it was neat to see how other people put things together. Looking forward to checking out a few more this weekend!

So happy a few of us are going to be taking part! I won't be creating page kits, just going with the flow when the game starts, but really looking forward to the game...
Anyone else playing along?

Why is it called CalvinBall? What is the significance? Do you remember the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes"? They would play Calvinball and just make up the rules as they went, assigning points for whatever they wanted. No winner, no loser, because the game never ended. They played rough, but it was still just a game.  |

Sounds like fun. I heard about it on Facebook but didn't know what it was. I used to love Get it scrapped I guess I will have to check it out. I need a good kick to my mojo. I haven't finished a layout in way too long.

Just checked out the Leaderboard, and Maribeth, you are #5!!!
I also checked out the ever growing list of rules and realized that there are all kinds of bonus points I can claim for this next week, provided I get some crafting done and posted!

Yesterday was the first time I used the bonus points. They were fun to add up. I just did my pages, and then if one of the rules applied then it was a "Bonus" (LOL). Except for the two song layouts, I did those with the rule in mind. Have a great crafty week. |

Just checked out the leaderboard over at Calvinball, and...
Top TEN, baby!
Well, actually I am just in to the top ten.
But Maribeth is number THREE!
Looks like the top 9 are in a creative zone the rest of us can only dream of, but there is tight competition from #10 on down.
LisaDV is #11, and JustJac is tied for #19.
I see katers415 is on the board as well. Any other peas I missed?
Keep it going, Ladies! I'll try to give you some competition, but ten could be YOURS!

I had no idea I would be so high in the standings. It has been really great to be sharing this event with LisaDV, grammadee, justjac, and katers415. I love how productive I have been. I just cleaned the scraproom (it was getting a bit out of control) and sat down for a moment. Now to vacuum and then I will get back in to making some more pages. |

maribeth you are doing awesome!!!! At this point I am trying just to not be in last place! Haha! Everyone has been taking turns getting sick in our house so it has kind of killed my month so far. Trying to squeeze some crafting in when I can!
