KikiPea I hope you don't mind, I am going to post your normal challenges on your behalf. Recently you missed the cut off, and I was annoyed with myself for not posting them for you, so here they are...... (happy for you to take the points for posting them, if you're on a team this month!) #50 Rock Those Rectangles - Use rectangular photos OR a rectangular page size (8.5x11, 9x12, 6x12, 3x8, TN, etc.) cardmakers, any size rectangular card or rectangular design/embellishment on the front of a card will count. #51 Be There Or Be Square - Use square photos OR a square page size (12x12, 8x8, 9x9, 6x6, etc.) cardmakers, any size square card or square design/embellishment on the front of a card will count. #52 Doodle doodle doo! Doodle on your LO for 1 point. Doodle on multiple embellishments for an extra 5 points. #53 Color your world for FALL! Use lots of fun, AUTUMN colors on your LO, card, or project for 1 point. #54 Scrap a page from an unfinished album. 1 point per page that goes in the same album. 5 LO's, or more, add 5 bonus points! #55 Something old, something new! This challenge can be done two different ways. You can either combine something old with something new, OR you can use something really old, and make it new again...just by using it, or by changing it in some way. 1 point for either one, and an additional 5 points if you do both! #56 Dot...dot...Goose??? Use enamel dots, puffy dots...if they are circular embellishments that look like DOTS, use them up! 1 point for each set of 3 of the SAME product...so 3 enamel dots=1, 6 enamel dots=2 points; 3 pop dots=1, 3 puffy dots=1, etc. #57 ENLARGE your memories! Must be larger than 4x6 for 1 point. #58 Shrinky dink! Shrink those photos! Use at least 2 photos on one page that is 4x4, or smaller. 1 point for every 2 smaller photos. #59 Use your PL cards!!! If you scrap PL, that's perfect for this challenge. If you DON'T, that will make this more fun! Use as many PL cards on your LO as you can. You may alter them by cutting them in half, cutting stuff out of them to use as embellishments...just make sure to share a pic of what the card looked like if you cut something out of one. 1 point for each card you use! #60 It’s November! Use the letters N O V E M B E and R in your title. Take 1 point for using all of the letters, as long as they are used in any words of your title. Take an additional 5 points if you actually use the word NOVEMBER in your title. #61 SMILE! This one is SUPER easy...scrapbook something that makes you smile. Flip through your photos and take the first pic that really brings a smile to your face. 1 point per pic.  5 additional points if it's your OWN smile! #62 STASH BUSTER- Pick ONE item that you have tons of, and use them!!! The points are easy...take 1 point for every single piece you use! #63 SANS Patterned Paper!- That's right, make a LO, OR card with no patterned paper. Take 5 pts for NO patterned papers. IF you decide you NEED to use a piece for say a photo mat, take 1 pt away.

#64 Shop or not to shop? That is the question! There are some great Black Friday deals in the crafty world. 1 Point for each $1 USD (or your equivalent) spent. This is for crafty items for yourself OR for gifts for others!
#65 Resist the urge to splurge! For each day you refrain from shopping give yourself 10 points. Unless it's adhesive, if you run out of adhesive how to you get things stuck together?
#66 Include YOU! As scrapbookers and photographers we often don't end up in the photos. One point for each photo that includes you, and yes selfies count because how else do you get in the photo anyway?
#67 Getting Messy Use mixed media products, think stencil paste, Stickles, Liquid Pearls, Nuvo Drops, mists, paint, inks, what ever falls in the category! Have some fun and create your own background for 5 points. One point for each type of product you use in your project.

#1 1 Christmas Prep | 5 points per hour spent Christmas prepping of any kind: December Daily kit work, wrapping presents, decorating the home, making a Christmas gift for someone, making Christmas cards, etc. So does this include fighting with my printer to make it print labels for my cards? Printers have been put on earth just to entertain the Norse gods who always enjoy confusion and conflict... |

5 additional points if it's your OWN smile!
