I see a lot of points on that cool turkey page, MDscrapaholic . I see an arrow, some flags/banners, letter stickers, and a word up, just for starters. And don't forget to claim a point for manufacturer if you used the same one [mostly] on a LO. I'm not doing a good job adding up the points, I seem to be missing a lot of things. I took two points for this, one for doing the challenge and one for posting it. So are you saying I get a point for using an arrow, for using a flag, letter stickers? What's a word up? Sorry if I seem dense, even though I printed off the challenges I'm still not sure how to combine them for extra points. |

Sorry if I seem dense, even though I printed off the challenges I'm still not sure how to combine them for extra points. Okay, you get one point for creating something. And one point to share it. THEN, you get ONE point for EACH challenge your creation meets. There are 35 challenges in the Team Challenge thread. Plus 3 more regular monthly challenges you can find the links to HERE. So it would be possible to earn up to 40 points for one project. I don't think I have ever been able to claim more than 10 or 12, but there is always a chance LOL. Now you wouldn't get a point for every arrow, but if you put an arrow or more on a project, that counts as a point KWIM? You can use a challenge for points more than once, though. So if you put arrows on every LO and card all month, then you get a point each time. Hope this helps! |

MDscrapaholic there's a whole lot of challenges to get your head around, and also, there were loads last month which I think I'd only ust got sorted in my head and then all of a sudden it was July and there's new ones to learn! So don't feel like you're dense, it will probably click into place and start to make sense around about the 28th of July lol! You can always post the pic in the team PM and we can all help with the points too. Love your baby LO, great photos and I love the giraffe and tree, they're so cute! Great stamping on the sunflower card and the Nuvos look superb! No wonder these cards took you a while anniefb, they're fabulous! Love the mermaid, great colours and I reckon you need an extra point for a Ketchup challenge, last month there was a challenge to add a sequin and I see some in your shaker (how would you know about last months challenges if you weren't doing them?). Love the friend card too, what beautiful colours and stamping, it's so lush!

Here's a sneak of my 5th DT LO using Doodlebug's Hello collection. I'm still loving it and wanted to use the darker papers which you can't see here. I am pretty much sticking to using the collection as well, which isn't like me as I like to add extra stuff in but the only extras I've used have been Thickers, an acrylic title and Nuvos. 10 points on this LO, 1 for doing a LO, one for posting a pic, 1 for Ephemera (I used exactly 3 pieces!), 1 for a banner, 1 for a grid, 1 for Nuvos, 1 for Manu - Doodlebug , 1 for outdoors and 2 Ketchup challenges, Word-Up and 30 minute grab and go, this one went together so quick, I was watching the clock and waiting for my groceries to arrive and it was definitely under 30 minutes! Amazing for me. Just realised it's not a 4x6 photo either so 11 points!  |

How many bottles do you have? I just ordered 5 more but since I’m not supposed to be spending so we won’t talk about that!! |

Love your baby page, MDscrapaholic. Sweet photos. Great design. Love how you used those stickers. And the card is really pretty. Love the circle sentiment to tie in with the shape of the flowers. No wonder it takes awhile for you to create a card, anniefb: so many layers and techniques! Someone will adore that mermaid card! And did you layer stamp the flowers? Gorgeous. kiwigirl, you are the QUEEN of the Nuvo's! Love how each drop is so round and smooth. KelleeM is right. The Nuvo people should hire you! Or at least give you free bottles of the stuff! |

I have every single colour they do and some extra bottles as well. I always have a bottle of my favourites in reserve in case I run out, it would suck to run out halfway through a border! I just counted and I have 101 bottles lol! I did get 20 gifted to me from one of my fellow DT members, I sent her the Sassafrass I had cause I'll never use it and she loves it, and she sent me all her Nuvos in return cause she never used them (freak!!!! ). I have sent nuvo links to my first blog post and they're not interested in me at all lol! |

Wow KelleeM I love the background paper and I am not a plaid fan, maybe you've converted me! Love those hearts and your banner too, so cute! I managed another one! This one have 1 for a LO, 1 for posting, 1 for Nuvos, 1 for Grid, 1 for Arrow, 1 for Word-Up, 1 for a Random Icon (Is that a this month challenge or a Ketchup, I need to check) and another 2 for a Ketchup Challenges - 30 Minute Grab & Go and also Strip The Sheets as there's 3 strips on there. Oh, 1 for smaller than 4x6 Photo and 1 for Manu - doodlebug. So an 11 point LO  |

Great page kiwigirl. Those plump Nuvo drops make me ridiculously happy!   I struggled far more with these two simple pages than I should have. My first time doing pocket pages. I got 2 packages of Snap page protectors at TM for cheap money. So...7 points total for 2 pages, shared, multi photo and Washi. |

BTW... kiwigirl I’m certain Auckland is a big place but my friend Clare, the blonde in the page I posted, is also from Auckland. She’s traveled all over North America twice to visit a bunch of folks she met on the old CK message board which is where I met her. |

Sweet baby page, KelleeM! The plaid and florals really mimic a baby quilt, and I love the hearts. I struggle with pocket pages too Never have enough photos in the correct orientation for the pockets. But you seem to have mastered them here. Love the vertical title and journaling. |

Continuing my roll today... I did a double page layout! (I never do those!) This one is for the Manufacturer's Choice challenge (#21). I used Echo Park "All About a Boy" line, paper, stickers, letters. Put in a little old Basic Grey letters for the main title page.  I'm hoping to do a couple more, as I have to return to work tomorrow (bah!). |

One more! How many more do I have in me??!  This one is for the Grab 7 challenge... I really went through my stash for this one - Fancy Pants Celebrate paper (from 2007!), DCWV cardstock, Sassafras Lass stickers, letters cut from QuickKutz font, slide die cuts from Sizzix die, Tim Holtz word stickers, and blue woodgrain paper (don't know the manufacturer, threw that little strip away!). |

One more pocket page for today. Just 2 points. ETA: 3 points since there are 4 photos!  I was so proud of myself for remembering that I had saved my Charlie pass and knew exactly where to find it! There’s a lot to be said for purging and organizing!! |

Great work KelleeM, I love the daisy paper! I have done about 3 months of 2012 in PL and it used to take me so long to do a LO, it cracked me up that it was meant to be quick and easy lol! Clare doesn't look familiar but I have have been living here for over 20 years now. If I was in Auckland there would be a chance I'd recognise her if we went to the same crops and things though I'm sure! Love the last page too, is that a bit of Notes & Things floral paper in there? Love the sewing, it's fab. MDscrapaholic great Echo Park LO! Those papers are amazing and your cluster of bits and bobs on the right hand side is so lush! I love the tooth page too, so bright and colourful, it's fab! The monster and the cheese are great touches msliz, be still my beating heart!!! I LOVE your paper choices, they're awesome! Love the stripes and the spots along with the purple, so lush and totally set off your photos, just perfect! |

DawnMcD Fab LO! Love the colours and the design, very cool! I reckon you get a point per challenge, per page though. So if there's Nuvos on both pages you get 2 points. If they're only on one side, just take 1 point. And you should get 2 points for sharing cause there's 2 pages. Also, I see 2 points for the grid challenge and 2 points for photos under 6x4 size and also 2 points for Word-Up cause there's words printed on the PL cards, and then also, the monthly stash challenge is to use PL or PL style cards, so 2 more points!!! It's a great DLO, you deserve lots of points! KelleeM Great photos! Love that red barn, how cool is that and the Wildflower Inn looks pretty gorgeous too. Love your page and there was a hoarding challenge last month, did you take a Ketchup Challenge point for that? You so should for using that diecut, it's fab!
