Chinagirl828, joblackford - I hope you both know I'm a fangirl already. I hope that's obvious from previous comments I've made about your work! joblackford - not only do you make a good VOLUME of cards, they are all so creatively different (like you'll do some sheetload style but then some really individual style and you use a real variety of techniques and products and absolutely fabulous use of pps that I already love from scrapbooking and great use of ephemera) and I'm envious! You're a reason I signed up for the card class in the fall. And your covid journal? I can't even begin to explain how wonderful I think it is! Chinagirl828 - your layouts are so different from mine - a very good example of LOVING a style that I cannot emulate. This layout is a great example of what I love - the soft colours, the photography, the blocks of photos, the comfortably arranged journaling that adds to the flow and aesthetic. teacherlisa - so good to see your face!!!

Awww, thank you kitbop you're making me blush  I hope you have a fun time with the card class. It's a fun way to get some creative time in on a smaller scale and you can burn through a lot of supplies if you put your mind to it. And bonus, cards are made to share! |

kitbop I love how much you have going on in your layouts, a lot but somehow never too much. Your pictures are so often stunning, especially your daughter's amazing dance photos, and I just love your journaling - your handwriting just really appeals to me. Chinagirl828 your travel pages are lovely, soft and full of small details, but also all about the photos. I have stared at some of your pages wondering if they were paper or digital. I'm not sure if it was because they seemed so delicate and precise that made me think they might be made of pixels instead of paper. I was looking closely at the page you posted and yes, I imagine your patterned paper would go a very long way! I'm looking forward to seeing how Shimelle has influenced your style - have you posted any of your half and half pages? nylene I left you some love for your gorgeous wedding page on Flickr and spotted some of the others you had posted in the gallery. So beautiful. Sorry I haven't had a chance to give everyone else's work a close look. I hope to have time to comment on everyone's pages this month. I've been slacking lately.

This layout is a great example of what I love - the soft colours, the photography, the blocks of photos, the comfortably arranged journaling that adds to the flow and aesthetic. Thank you for your sweet words, and I can assure you the feeling is entirely mutual! You have such a clearly defined style and mix colour and patterns in ways I can only dream about. Chinagirl828 your travel pages are lovely, soft and full of small details, but also all about the photos. I have stared at some of your pages wondering if they were paper or digital.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Shimelle has influenced your style - have you posted any of your half and half pages? I have done both paper and digi although it's been a few years since I've really played in digi. I've posted several of my half and half layouts in my Flickr gallery here. |

I've left love in the gallery for anyone who linked their layout there. @zingermack Those photos are gorgeous and I love them paired with the neutral check. azcrafty that colour scheme is so pretty and I love the floral clusters on the die cut backgrounds. |

Even though I want to earn those 10 daily point for not spending $$$$$ on crafty items, I have to order some kits for the One Of A Kind virtual classes, so I guess the best strategy is to wait until tomorrow to order it, since I know I will be spending money at the Koala T Krafts Saturday garage sale tomorrow. Stratigery I saw Stratigery. LOL - Hope everyone is have an awesome Friday, I can't wait to get home and scraft. EDIT - I will just spend a bunch all in one day!!!!! only loose 10 points, that will work.  |

Another point question clarification - I told you I was going to be a pain. I will get the hang of it soon. For Challenge R5 - that is 10 points for spending time crafting on projects other than paper crafting is that correct?

For Challenge R5 - that is 10 points for spending time crafting on projects other than paper crafting is that correct? 10 points per hour. For that challenge I keep track of my minutes all month long and then figure out the total hours/points at the end of the month. I usually only get 20-40 minutes at a time to do things so the above works easiest for me. |

Sorry Divas another newbie question. On The Recipe I am assuming that you follow all the items shown on one layout is that correct?

Question for teammates and/or gramma: I have a question about the spreadsheet. I printed the challenges doc and the spreadsheet. I'm not sure how to use the spreadsheet. I understand the rows in the spreadsheet, but I don't understand what the different columns are for. The columns are: POST A CHALLENGE SKETCHY SATURDAY PHOTO CHALLENGE DONNA CHALLENGE ORGANIZING / CLEANING OTHER CRAFTS CARD CHALLENGES POKEY PEAS So I think the points for challenges we all submitted go in the row for those challenge and the column for 'post a challenge'? And if I do organizing, it goes in the row for organizing and the column for organizing? And then for the organizing one, we look at the organizing thread for the point assignment? I think that's right, but before I dove in, I wanted to be sure. So far, all I've done is post one challenge and did about 1 hour of organization yesterday. |

MARIBETHR - yes, all the recipe items need to be accomplished on 1 layout! @zingermack - ugh, I'm sorry, i don't use the spreadsheet myself so I'm no help! However, just so you know, this is just for YOUR RECORDS - nobody is going to ask for a breakdown of your points at all. So really, however you choose to record the points on the spreadsheet, as long as it makes sense to YOU, it's fine! I'm beat. I worked the weekend and it was a doozy and I'd normally get Mon/Tues off now, except we don't have coverage for me so I was kinda voluntold that I would be working Monday. I get paid OT, but that's not really the point/issue - I need a day off, and now I'll only get 1 day off before the next stretch. Oh well, glad I make a difference. And the OT...I makes a good contribution to the scrapbook and cards today events I signed up for in the fall!!!

Good Morning Divas I am off to camping today at 1PM, will return Sunday morning. Don't want to let my team down so I am packing some kits. Be honest with me ladies, how many kits do you think I will complete.  |

I am off to camping today at 1PM, will return Sunday morning Have you scrapped before when you are camping? Do you have an RV? Have *so* much fun! We tent... there's no way i could do this... but it would be so much fun to have a table and scrap while we're there! Now I'm jealous!!! But, OTOH, you know there is no pressure, no scrapping while camping required! (Said from the person who is in a serious mojo slump...) |

Have a wonderful time camping, MARIBETHR. I have never camped without a kid or three around, so scrapping and camping aren’t things I think of as going together. So if it were me, it would not be a lot. But this is YOU, so you will probably come home with a stack of creations. Hope you had a little time Tuesday to recharge your batteries, kitbop. Was yesterday your dd’s birthday, too? By the time you get to that card class, you will be ready to TEACH one. I have always loved your intricate colourful pages, and your cards are turning out every bit as amazing. I am finally on the scoreboard this week with some cards. Printed some photos yesterday in the hope I can scrap them today or tomorrow. I have a few more seeds to put into the garden today before it rains, though. Everything out there seems to be thriving, including the weeds, so by next week I will need to get out there with a hoe. |

But, OTOH, you know there is no pressure, no scrapping while camping required! (Said from the person who is in a serious mojo slump...) Yes, we do have an RV, however we actually spend very little time in it. It is really for the fridge, the bed and the shower/toilet. We stay out in the campground other than those needs. We cook outside everything. But there are large tables where we go so I can set up, and yes I have scrapped often before. However, most of the time I have taken my stamps and dies in order to make my catalog of images and dies. It is difficult for me to choose what to take to create since I never know what I am going to want to use. However since I have so many kits I think this will work out great. All the parts are included so I don't really need to pull from my stash. |

I've scrapped while camping in our RV - but we don't have that any more. At car shows I take an Iris box for my tools and supplies. I have a small table that rolls up that I use for my work surface. I usually do paper piecing assembly or put together cards.

gramma - I see you are hosting tonights virtual crop - I definitely hope to be there! And maybe some other Diva's will join in too? kellyr21, joblackford, MARIBETHR, nylene, natscraps, azcrafty, teacherlisa, Chinagirl828, grammadee, @zingermack, scrappyrabbit - some of you are regulars, some of you need to come try it out - super low key, pop in/out if you just want to say a "hello", we'd love to meet your real person! Personally, I wish I could send my new cartoon avatar in, with my great big eyes and 20 year old skin

I plan on trying to join in tonight. There will be no scrapping for me because I can barely make into my scrap room right now, but I would love company as I try and sort through the mess in there. The question is will DS stay away and let me be to get things done.

Finally finished a couple of pages yesterday. Will try to drop into the crop this evening just to chat.
I plan to join the crop tomorrow, and actually get some pages completed. Currently printing photos and collecting "stuff" I will need for a couple of two-pagers.

We're heading out on a mini-vacay tomorrow so I'll be absent a little while. Of course I'm all motivated to burn through some 6x6 pads and make millions of cards today when I should be packing and prepping. I'm not really a crop person, IRL or Zoom, but thank you for the invite. I was going to ask you about your avatar kitbop - she's lovely but also a bit tooooo real-but-not-real... if you know what I mean... I like your IRL photo face! |

joblackford, I should be packing too, but I have until Monday to get ready. I am not really a zoom person and I accomplish a lot more when I am not on the Online Chat, but I love getting to know the Peas and I can put cards together while chatting. I can't cut sheetload directions while chatting though....I think every cut I made was wrong one night. You ought to drop in if even for a few minutes one night. We would love to say hello. Have a good trip!

Back from camping and well the completed kit count is 0. But in my defense ladies, internet signal was nearly non existent and I could not reliably connect to the tutorials for the kits. However I did get parts of kits completed with many just needing something that I did not have with me. So all in all I feel pretty good about the progress I made. Also I get those precious Making Memory points, which I certainly did. It was a wonderful trip and a total stress reliever. Back to the grind tomorrow however! Here is a photo of the 12 cards completed. Going to spend the rest of my Sunday putting those finishing touches on the other projects and will post those tomorrow.  |

Well Diva's I have let you down, lost 20 potential points for shopping yesterday and today. It was my intention to purchase everything yesterday, but things got supper busy at work so I was unable to press all the buttons for my purchases, so I had to push those buttons today. But boy did I make up for it. KACHING!!!!!!  So know that I am on a roll, enable me. What else should I purchase? Have an awesome day Diva's. |

I hope you have a fun time with the card class. It's a fun way to get some creative time in on a smaller scale and you can burn through a lot of supplies if you put your mind to it. And bonus, cards are made to share!
