alright y'all, here we go! Using the highly scientific method of names in a hat, here are your april teams: Team Amamakoalagrammadeestinkerbelle - team leader mslizmikklynnDawnMcDLindaTeam BLisaDVmomgrammaChinagirl828kiwigirl - team leader christinec68ambletmyboysnmeRules: - This is a low-pressure challenge designed to get you using your stash and have fun in the process!
- Each player will keep track of their own points! Whether you keep it on a piece of paper or make a post and edit each time is up to you. Team leaders will tally up the points at the end of the month so we can declare a winner.
- If you want to name your team, please do! Discuss it with your teammates
 - We have monthly challenges here, but participation isn’t required. Any member who wants to issue an additional challenge (need not be repeated monthly) is encouraged to do so! Points will be awarded for both doing a challenge and starting one.
Points: - 1pt per page (LO, mini album, PL; double-page LO=2pts)
- 1pt per card
- 1pt per art journaling, home décor piece, planner spreads, making a process video, etc.
- 1pt for posting your creation for us to ooh and aah over
- 1pt for doing or posting a challenge
And keep an eye out for bonus points here and there! You can combine challenges to get more points per page. For example, say I do a 1-pg LO and I combine the stash challenge with the sketch/scraplift challenge, and then post it in the gallery or thread, that will earn me 4 points. here's hoping for a fabulous, productive, all-around crafty fabulous april! |

Awesome start! Thanks, stinkerbelle . Let the fun begin! Points for April by me for our team: 123 pointsETA: I will share my creations and add my points by editing this post. April 2nd: one page created (1) and shared (1) for the April Bonus Challenge (1) Total: 3 points for the A Team!  Choose happiness by Gramma Dee, on Flickr April 4th: an art journal page and a title page for my 100 Days project: 2 for creating & 2 for sharing. Posed a challenge (1 point) Total for today 5 points.  Here is a card I put together today with one of the pieces I had been practicing inking on. For today: 2 points.  inked Thinking of You by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Another card, created with some of my art media playing. 2 points.  shaker bd by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Finished a couple of cards I needed for April birthdays. No challenge for the first one; the second is for LisaDV 's Foiled Again challenge, so 5 points for creating and sharing 2 projects and meeting one challenge.  April bd's by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Four pages finished on Thursday. I had thought two of them might work for gramma 's Black & White + 1, but realized I have both blue AND red as accent colours. So no extra challenge points. So a total of 8 points added to our team's total.  Hockey Heroes Game On by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  Hockey heroes Game On 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  Almost Champions by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  Almost Champions 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Another page completed. It met two challenges: Manufacturers' and Foiled Again. And although it has more of a cream than white cast to it, I think I will claim it for gramma 's "All is not Black & White" challenge. The accent colour is green.  Choose happiness 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr So one page, shared, that meets THREE challenges = 5 points! And two more pages, shared. No challenges for these, so adding in just 4 points.  meeting stars by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  meeting stars 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Here is another page. Claiming points for page + sharing, Stash Challenge, Manufacturers' challenge, Foiled Again Challenge, Kiwi Challenge, 6 points
 grampa & friends by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Today I added the Spring Has Sprung challenge. 1 point for our team! And here is my take on the challenge: the largest balloon is mounted on a DIY spring made from folded cs strips: 3 points (create, post, and meet a challenge)  balloon bd by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Just added up 79 points for pages created during our weekend crop! |

Should we just chit chat in this thread? There's not that many of us at the moment, maybe if we get more people in May we could split into separate team threads? Can we just stay here and chat, share etc  |

Do we want to have a mechanism in place that will help to correct unevenly matched teams?
I was thinking of a swap at the end of each week that switches the most prolific scrapper from the leading team with the least prolific scrapper from the trailing team. Team captains excluded, of course. All the points earned already go with them to the new team. I think it could shake things up in a fun way in addition to giving hope to the team that's trailing.
What do you all think?

msliz, I like keeping the teams the same and then figuring out a way to rejigger them after the first month. People scrap at different times during the month, and one week may not indicate what may happen the next. I hope to complete 30 pages in April, but most of those will be done at a crop on the last weekend. ,

Another one for kiwi's girls. I've been wanting to put this together for awhile but just settled on this photo, which I changed to focal black and white so only their faces are in color. It took me about 20 minutes to put this together with 2 pieces of my favorite Prima with bronze foil accents and a piece of Bo Bunny (I cut out the word 'Love' on the bottom edge). There is a Kaiser Craft pocket card and some Soft Spoken stickers. That's it! I put it in a frame for them to hang on the wall and will give it to them later today for Easter. 1 pt stash challenge, 1 pt posting/sharing 1pt one page, 1 pt home decor piece = 4 pts  |

kidding!
