joblackford LindaWeep with me. One roll of Scotch photo-safe double-sided adhesive on Amazon France goes for... 15,86€/US$17,85! Bwahaha, how about NON? Let's hope the postal service between the US and France is clearing up because I'm out of options here.

Running out of adhesive is one of my biggest nightmares sleepingbooty which is probably why I keep every random tape roll, glue, tape runner I've ever come across in a drawer. Probably some of them don't even work any more! I did another two pager based on a Scrapbook Generation sketch. I think I hit 6 challenges with this: home, food, presents, scattered snow, wish, and lights!

Sunday June 14 challenges: DESIGN | Tag, you're it! Make a tag, use a tag, create a tucked in element that works like a tag on your project. OR add memorabilia to your project! THEME | Nature (wreath, going for a winter walk, the tree, pine branches, etc.) WORDS | Expression(s) of love Team Players: you have an extra 24h to show photograph, upload and share the photos of your week's worth so until Monday evening.  A winter walk, you say? I guess justjac is not the only clairvoyant one--here is a page about a winter walk (an up to the waist in snow walk, in APRIL!)  Work Hard play Harder winter edition by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Looking at these photos, I know I am definitely NOT ready for Christmas yet for a very long time! I am also going to grab up points for the tag on the Water bugz page and the expressions of love on the Saying Goodbye LO. So 3 for 3 before these were even posted  No more paper play for me today. But I am happy with what I've been able to put together in the past week. Only one Christmas related project--the gnome card--but I still managed to meet a cool 14 of the 21 available prompts. Thanks so much for setting this up sleepingbooty, and making it so much FUN! And thanks to everyone who played along. |

Still hoping to get a couple more pages in tonight - I need to find a bigger photo for the oversized challenge still But THANK YOU sleepingbooty - it's been great! |

last crop challenge complete!! I need to go back and see how many points that's worth! And I even found a Christmas picture - from January 2009 when DD13 was 2. It'll be the start of a planned album of 8x10s - mostly school photos. Super simple but all I really want to do is put them in chronological order and label by name and date/grade so simple works.  |

ComplicatedLady , can you post a pic of Speckled Egg and Chipped Saphire together? I have had the Chipped Saphire for a long time. If I need to replace it, should I move on to Speckled Egg? Or do I NEED to have them both? I will not be playing with paper much until Wednesday, b/c dd and dgs are here until Tuesday afternoon. And when I play, I will have pages and cards to do that are not end-of-year theme related. But I still hope to play along with the crop. And the red/green challenge with the favourite icon and classic greeting might just get me hooked to put together just. one. card... Dd and dgs are doing homeschooling right now. Hmmm... How much time do I need... Here are the containers side by side. I think you may need both. Maybe I will use the actual inks and can compare those for you in the near future. No promises though!! I actually tried the inks. Here’s a blended shot for comparison. The colors are Weathered Wood, Speckled Egg, and Chipped Sapphire. . |

What a cutie!!!! As for points for the crop, you get one point for each prompt you met + a 50 point bonus if you met all 21. It's outlined in Challenges #2 and #11. Check to see which other June challenges you have met as well. And you get to double all points earned during the time frame June 8th to 14th. And double them AGAIN if what you did was year end holiday related. I think I wish you were on MY team... |

I think I covered all the challenges. This one is monochromatic, and has a tag,love, and nature. I'm going to retroactively claim gather. I didn't use the word gather, but I did write about getting together with my family and my in-laws in previous layouts.  Love You |

Who has two thumbs AND finished her 2019 DD?? This girl!! I finished my 2019 DD album! F I N I S H E D  I don’t know if I’ll do a daily album like that again, but I *finished* my 2019 December album. Next time, I may start a week or so before Christmas to whenever family leaves for the holiday. I may start with decorating the tree and document key events that may not happen daily. Regardless 2019 has been completed!!! I’m so happy because I finished the pages, finished the journaling, and put all the December Christmas scrap stuff away. Stamps and dies are still fair game ( because I might use those those for cards) but papers, embellishments, and kits are all safely stored in the craft closet. |

That is amazing ComplicatedLady! I know those albums are a LOT of work and motivation wanes as you work on them. I treat my DD albums as a "month in the life" album as well and enjoy capturing a few days of "normal" activities too, just to document how they change year to year. It must feel good to put those supplies away this year! |

Oof, today was a long day for me. I planned to hop in here a few hours ago to share the pages I finished before running out of adhesive but that didn't happen. It's almost 10PM and I haven't even had dinenr yet, eep. Not good. Here we go! (I still have to come back and check off the challenges met for most of the pages but that'll have to wait until tomorrow...) How I kicked off confinement in March:  The new normal for groceries (pick-up):  Online finds that made me laugh during pretty difficult times:  Phase 1 of deconfinement in May which also meant garden time with my mother's kitty cats:  Ah, good ol' fashioned mobile phone screenshots:  |

I’m annoyed with myself for not getting mine done this past week. |

Well, I just reviewed all my cards and I had all of the challenges except the tag, and the gathering/together words! oh well. Still lots of points. I should be able to meet those last two before the end of the month though.
I also found one card that missed out on getting half of its sentiment stamped! oops.

I think I caught all the projects in the gallery. Here are notes on those not in the gallery. Linda , you have made so many beautiful Christmas cards this month. Donating them will feel so good, and you used up a bunch of your Christmas scraps!~ I love that plaid background on your Christmas favorite double page layout. I can’t read the journaling, but it looks like your family members are enjoying themselves.~ Great job on the Science Fair project page. My first thought when seeing it was, “I’m glad we are out of that stage!” Luckily my DH helped a lot with our children’s projects. I’m sure your DD enjoyed it.~ How funny that your kitty wants to be right where you work. Are you neglecting her? LOL,Cute paw print paper. ~I love your St. Nicholas paper. That makes such a pretty Christmas page.~ I love the banners and big red heart on your Smokey page. So cute.~ I love that circle with the wreath on your Christmas party page. Beautiful and artistic.~Cute “I Love My Horse” page. I love the colors, the papers and that great photo of Annabelle really loving her horse.~Beautiful monochromatic pages of lovely scenery!~ I love the rich colors on your “Hearts Come Home” Christmas page. Great photos too.~ Nice page for the Science Fair awards. Congrats! ~ Love the Feliz Navidad page. I’m sure the people enjoyed your caroling.~ Lots of cute Christmas Eve and family Christmas pages. You must have many, many beautiful albums!~ Lovely Midnight Mass page! ~ I love the photos in your Christmas hats. That makes me smile.~ Fun, bright and colorful page of Jersey Mike’s! ~ My favorite of all is the 2009 photo of Annabelle in her pretty Christmas dress. That is adorable. @sleeping booty, I am amazed at how you make your pages look so professional. I love the font on your vellum lyrics. Beautiful!~ Each page you have added is a work of art. What amazing photography you do to add to your Christmas pages. You photograph things I’d never think of, and it makes a real record of your life experiences. I’m loving all! It is so interesting to sneak inside your head and see what you are watching, enjoying and doing!~ Every page is minimalist but amazing. The beauty of the photography and the tiny explanations are so artful! I wish I could do that like you do.~ I love your zombie brain. I laughed out loud! Love the shopping list and Mona Lisa’s new duds. What a great idea to list the things that comfort you, eating, listening, reading, etc. Love it. Ryann , your Christmas pages are wonderful. I love the tiny little border of striped paper that makes it look like you strung Baker’s twine around each photo. Love, love, that. Great title block and I love the slide frames grouped on the opposite side.~ I love your Paletas in the Park page. You did a great job on the watercolor. That’s something I’d like to learn to do. That looks like a fun trip you took. joblackford , I love your upcycled Christmas cards. You do classy work with new papers and embellishments and do just as classy work with recycled cards. No one would know that they had been used before. So beautiful. ~ You are so very creative. Every upcycled card is a work of art. The little Doodlebug characters in the stockings really make me smile. What a great service in donating these. I think you are earning stars in your crown with all these beautiful cards. Did I miss the total you have made this month?..I just came to your total. You are truly amazing. I love that sentiment you stamped on the inside. I’m sure you were exhausted after doing all those.~ I am amazed at your Poinsettia. I try every year to keep mine alive, and it dies to spite me, I think. You must have a bright green thumb. What a fun Christmas miracle. lynnek , Your Owen’s 1st Christmas is gorgeous . I love the design and the big Christmas balls. Those white pine boughs are so classy. Amazing! I may have to scraplift this beautiful page. Thanks for sharing.~ I love your Hip Hop Nutcracker page. Those colors are perfect for your photos. As a teen I danced in the Nutcracker, but I’ve never heard of a Hip Hop Nutcracker. That must have been so fun! Beautiful page. @sunnycalimom , your Zoom Class layout is beautiful. I love the perfect paper you chose. It’s nice that you have scrapped this. This year’s classes are so much different from all other years. It’s a great remembrance of a very different time. Classy page. I hope someone reminds me that I should never get this far behind again. So many wonderful layouts and cards. Thanks sleepingbooty. |
