4 single page layouts one in 2009. I think I have 3 layouts left (Christmas morning, gifts, and Christmas dinner) - hopefully this week I can finish those up as well.

I have been pretty busy this month, so very little scrapping has been done. I think I finished one winter page overall.
While on vacation, I found a Christmas store that had a couple of scrapbooking ornaments. And I visited in July, so that counts, right? 😉
Otherwise just lots of Hallmark Christmas movies have been playing in the background while I've been cleaning the house.

I have some Doodlebug Christmas things on my desk ready to be chopped up and turned into cute cards… but then I saw Amy R’s first Halloween card of the year on YT with adorable little ghosties and I got an email requesting birthday postcards for a charity - my attention has been diverted!  I think I might start separating the papers and see if the Christmas mood catches me again. I could get another stack of cards done before July runs out. My SS Mix and A-Mingle paper and die cuts are due to arrive this weekend. I also got a new and improved platform for my die cutter that’s fixed a big frustration I was having so I could get back to a Noel die cut card design I was playing with. I don’t think I shared it in this thread…  June share by jo.blackford, on Flickr |

I never make cards, but this die gave me a great idea for some cards to make for my sister. I want to use just the "No" part of "Noel" to make cards that say "No, just No." 😆 She has some very frustrating coworkers I think she would like to pass that sentiment along to... haha! It would be such a pretty way for her to tell them no to their questionable requests! |

A final check in for the month, with some good news, I finished one more layout tonight and officially met all my Christmas in July goals.
* My 2021 album just needs one 12x12 page to finish Christmas, so my goal is to complete that during July. Photos are printed and I've chosen one of the recent sketchy Saturday sketches for it. I'm just now trying to convince myself to create instead of watching youtube videos for the rest of the afternoon. Page is done!
* 2022 has quite a few more pages to be completed: 10 12x12 pages and 6 pocket pages. My mojo has been a bit lacking lately but I'm hoping this thread will keep me motivated, so I'd like to get 5 pages, either pocket or 12x12, from this album completed. Two pages completed I've finished another two pages. Are they my favourite? No. Does it matter in the scheme of my album? No, they're simple but good enough. And one more page completed for 5 in total!
* I also have two last embellishments pulled out that I should be able to use on these pages, so I hope to report back that they've both been used in July. One embellishment used! While I've been flipping through my album I've found a place I think the other embellishment can go so I've dropped it into the page protector, and just need to make sure I use it when I create that page. That last embellishment is now also used!

Linda what a perfect way to scrap that recipe! I love how you’ve used the two colours of gingerbread house paper, it’s just beautiful with your photos.

Congratulations Chinagirl828linda I love that layout! The inclusion of the recipe and those specific photos is what, to me, scrapbooking is at its core. |

I love everyone's enthusiasm for Christmas scrapping and the new releases! I ended up ordering a few things thanks to this thread!
Came to ask - when can we expect Ali's sneaks? I thought in the past that the first hints started in July, but might be remembering incorrectly.

I thought in the past that the first hints started in July, but might be remembering incorrectly. Usually sneaks are in August and I believe she is doing some this week. They hinted on Instagram they were coming this week. Can't wait the time is fast approaching! |
