well, no time today to scrap despite my best efforts. I hope to do some copic coloring this evening while the kids and I watch tv, but won't get into my scrap room. Maybe tomorrow, but definitely wednesday! I am going to go through and give some love to all the creations  on the plus side, one of the cards i created for this challenge was featured on splitcoaststamper's 'best of the week' this week! so that's fun |

grammadee, I just added a layout to Challenge #2. Your tally shows an entry for #2 already, but those points were actually additional layouts for the Stretch challenge. I don’t know what I did wrong in getting my Flickr photo to show. It worked before, but now it’s just showing the link. I am so dense when it comes to linking photos!

I had admired your page in Flickr, and was just heading over here to add in the points. I will just add these points in where the others should have been. When you link a photo directly into your post from flickr, you need to make sure the address that pops up (when you hit the share button) is in BBcode. Then it should show up directly in your post. Not sure if that is what happened to you, but it has happened to me in the past that a different address comes up. Thanks for playing along and keeping me on task! |

house is clean, laundry started, breakfast served, exercised, vacumued and FINALLY i am heading into my scrap room and hope to get something done before work today. Not sure it will happen as I have to leave at 1 pm but I am going to try!! ETA: well, lioks like I wont finish the card I started on. I am using the new paper smooches embroidery die and it's taking longer than I expected to cross stitch on paper LOL. Oh well, at least I got into my craft room. I will have time between patients to give some love later today. |

Sounds like a busy morning, mamakoala, and work still to come. Hope you got some time to relax. And if creativity does that for you, it is Win-Win! I was forced into doing housecleaning today: plumbers are coming Thursday or Friday to do some major stuff, so I need to at least make a path for them to get to all four bathrooms. I have a valentines day card for dh that I started yesterday and then added some touches to this morning. Will photograph and share when the Stickles dry. Just linked JaneB's awesome new template challenge in the op. Had meant to do that earlier, but doing house cleaning deadens my brain... |

okay, so i have finally committed to something i've been thinking about for a few months. I have decided to sell my cards at my office, with a 'suggested donation' of $5. All proceeds will go towards charity--right now I am thinking of a charity that provides food and formula to starving children in Venezuala (there's a hunger crisis there due to government corruption and babies are dying. I read about it about 2 months ago and have been thinking about how to help ever since). Since my clinic is a sliding scale clinic, I figured a 'suggested donation' might encourage my wealthier patients to donate more. I am really excited about this. I make more cards than I could ever send and this productive challenge has inspired me to try and use them for something good. Thanks grammadee for doing this! |

I am sitting here bored out of my mind at work. Just counting the minutes until I can go home and play with paper.

Did some Valentine's day cards for a friend's son. I made 12 but they are single sided. So I think just 1 Free Style project.  |

DawnMcD, I love your Panda cards. I think I am going to scraplift them. Thanks for sharing! grammadee, cute Valentine. I love the gears in the shaker. Clever idea. Left love in gallery. Besides finishing a page today, and putting the final touches on 15 cards, I baked and decorated two cakes plus cupcakes, took a sick friend to the doctor and pharmacy, cooked a roast for dinner and I'm just getting ready to go to the Addiction Recovery meeting that we lead tonight. I'd say it was a productive day! This challenge has been good for me! I hope I can keep it up. Thanks to all the hostesses and grammadee.

My challenge is now up. I can't believe we're half way through already - March is going to feel so quiet when we all collapse into a craft induced coma!

I have done one freestyle LO but it's for a DT blog post so I can't share it here yet. I will add my freestyle LO's on March 1st, after they're live on the blog and I'm allowed to I can share a little sneak peek....  |

That sneak looks intriguing, kiwigirl. I LOVE houses on cards and LO's. Excited to see all your Free Style projects when you can reveal. Your new challenge has been linked in the op, Chinagirl828. Will leave love in the Gallery for your sample page. Looking forward to seeing the creativity it inspires on the board. |

I could tell you were from somewhere a lot warmer than me when you said you need to garden! I still have 2 feet of snow in my yard. Yep summer here with temps in the mid to high 20s C. Everything is growing frantically as we’ve just had lots of rain. |

This card took me forever! grammadee i think I should get a mEEEELION points You actually cross stitched this card??? It is amazing, BTW! How about double your usual card points? (Still just a total of 2, but I really don't want to get into too much of a numbers game). |

grammadee I was kidding You can give me the normal amount of points LOL. My cards definitely take me much longer than my layouts because my perfectionist side comes out!
