and I for one am going to greatly miss the daily challenges. First I'd like to thank Grammadee for managing this project. I love that I've gotten to "know" several of you. Second I think we should do it again!! Not every month - but what about once a quarter? What do you guys think?

So glad so many people have been participating, sharing their projects, having so much fun, and sharing the love. It has been a blast! It has been invigorating to check into this board each morning to find the new challenge plus the first few takes on it, and then finding more and more inspiration throughout the day. I am looking forward to the grand finale as people wrap this up and continue the energy up until this coming Monday. But a little afraid of the scrappy hangover after that...
As for moving on...
Can we make a date for iNSD weekend in May--and then maybe spread out the fun for the month? Not sure about the format? Last year I asked for challenges and then collected them into one iNSD thread. We could have a set of hosts who set daily challenges like for 28-4-28, or who post the challenges all at once for the first of May. Or we could invite members to post iNSD challenge threads throughout May whenever they come up with an idea. Any suggestions?
Would definitely be up for playing 28-4-28 with you all again. Next February? Same format?

I love that I've gotten to "know" several of you. I love that too! Thank you to everyone who participated. I just loved seeing your pages. Thank you for sharing your travels, your homes, your holidays, your families, your humor, your worlds. And, of course, your fantastic layouts and designs - I have a lot of scrap lifts planned for the next month! Thank you grammadee , and thank you crystalb , DawnMcD , Linda, lilacgal , christinec68 , JaneB , and Chinagirl828 .  |

Next February? Same format? I couldn't say it any better so I'll just agree  Thank you grammadee for all your work keeping track of us all. When is iNSD in May? A Google search shows me all kinds of dates for scrapbooking day... I thought here in the UK we always did it in October but I may be confused. I'll throw my in hat for another 28-4-28 next February - I might even start working on ideas throughout the rest of this year  |

JaneB, I was thinking of International Scrapbooking Day (iNSD) is the first Saturday in May: in 2018 that will be May 5th. Lots of websites and blogs and stores usually mark it with contests and sales and giveaways. Just thought we may be able to celebrate it a bit here as well.

I've so enjoyed the challenges this month and I can not believe I've done a LO every day! It's been great fun. I've really appreciated all the challanges that everyone has set, way to go all of you! I'm so up for another month. One of the scrap groups I follow on FB has been doing a 'scrap the alphabet' thing this month and I'm thinking I might try and carry on in March and do that. It's got my mojo going again for sure! Thank you grammadee! |

I have never participated in challenges and I have never really shared my work to the extent I have this month. I did not do well with challenges because of the way I scrap and when, so freestyle was the only way I could really participate.
I have yet another surgery coming up at the end of March into April so hopefully by May I will be well on the mend and possibly able to participate in the activities. I won't have a retreat so I won't be flooding the board with layouts!

Thank you to all the challenge hosts & our challenge Mom, grammadee. I haven't had this much fun,or accomplished so much scrapping since my 3-day retreat last April. I am definitely up for another challenge! I told my DH this is what I retired for! Once a quarter sounds great. Also, thanks to all all the participants! I try to leave a lot of love in Flicker (is that the same as the Gallery? I am still learning!) but have missed commenting a lot here. I have learned a lot, too!

Yes, thank you to grammadee and to all of the fabulous hostesses. I've loved seeing everyone's layouts. I know I really only got to participate the first week. I would love to see this format again next February. I'd help in any way needed. With it on my calendar now, I can set some time aside. JaneB, iNSD is the first Saturday of May, Digital Scrapbook Day (iDSD) is the first Saturday of October. I celebrate both. I love the idea of iNSD challenge month. I like when we post all at once like the first through the fifth and then collected them into one iNSD thread. . It's so nice to have them accessible all in one place as the search feature on proboards isn't the best and never works for me. Plus it depends upon how someone words their title. If one word/space is different it won't pull up. I find it also nice to have all the challenges up front and then have a month to work on them. But I find I usually have more time in shorter periods and not time every day. We could even do it in October in honor of iDSD. I will volunteer gather the challenges into one post for October for those interested. |

Jane, iNSD is the first Saturday of May, Digital Scrapbook Day (iDSD) is the first Saturday of October. I celebrate both. Ahh, that's where my confusion lies. I started as a digital scrapbooker so that's why I thought we all did it in October  I think I'll start planning my calendar out this afternoon...  |

I'm finished. I am sure tomorrow I'll be all like hey, what do I do now? For people who need a little transition time, I plan to throw in a Weekend Workout Cooldown challenge to help ease out of the excitement. Watch for it! This has been an awesome month! A huge thank you to the seven challenge hosts: crystalb, DawnMcD, Linda, lilacgal, christinec68, JaneB, and Chinagirl828! But it wouldn't have been nearly the fun if it hadn't been for all of the particpants who got scrappy, shared their stories, and cheered each other on. Thank you to ALL of you! Thanks for taking on the October event, LisaDV. In a few weeks, I will start a thread asking for volunteers to host challenges for May, and we can start planning the next party. Thanks for starting the list, stinkerbelle! |
