I guess I'll kick things off then.  Since this is my first time participating in the team challenge, it seemed only fitting to include November challenge #1 (gratitude) on my first project. Here's my card using the word thankful. 
I also incorporated several other challenges in my design. If I've done my math right, this card scores me 13 points. Let me know if that's not right, please. Make a project - 1 point Share it - 1 point #1 Gratitude challenge (used thankful) - 1 point #2 Ghosts of Halloween (patterned paper) - 1 point #4 CARDtober Ketchup (day 29 challenge) - 1 point #6 Use your stamps (sentiment) - 1 point #8 Haberdashery (twine) - 1 point #13 Rock Those Rectangles (rectangle background layer) - 1 point #15 Mixing Bowl (stencil) - 1 point #26 Goldfinger (gold embossed sentiment) - 1 point #29 Use your dies (tag and word die) - 1 point #52 Stitches (stitched tag die) - 1 point #55 Let's Get Dimensional (stacked die cut sentiment) - 1 point |

CoffeeCrafter I'll repeat myself - stunning  I haven't done anything crafty yet, just organising digital files and backing up - 11 hours worth over the last two days

I kicked off the month by getting a pizza box of old/new papers from BoBunny and as soon as I saw this rainbow paper I wanted to use it. So I've done a total scraplift of my friend Staci who used to be on the old 2Peas as Cflattop if anyone remembers her? I scraplifted this LO of hers and stuck pretty much to it because I love her LOs so much. I even went digging for old 7Gypsies and Scenic Route stash!  Taking 28 for this one. 1 for a LO, 1 for sharing. #8, #11, #13, #14, #21, #22, #23 + BONUS, #24, #31, #32, #49, #52, #54, #55, #59 #66, #68, #76 (S= sequin Waste, N= Numbers, O= orange, W= Weston where the photo was, Weston-Super-Mare Beach), #79, #80 and Stash Challenge - handwriting and metallic. |

 Cousins by BreetheFlea, on Flickr I'm trying to learn how to post a photo, so if this is just a bunch of gibberish, I haven't figured it out yet... I think this counts for #12: washi #14: the layout is square #18: one photo and it's a 5 by 7 #21: 5 types of embellishments (washi, cork, wood veneer, enamel dots and twine) #27: photo is from the past year #54: rainbows (kind of, I didn't make my own...) #59: outdoors and I posted it, and finished the layout which I think is 2 more points? So that would be nine points. |

And now that I know how to post, one more:  Bowling Party by BreetheFlea, on Flickr I'm counting this one for: being square, a birthday, emojis, photo taken in the past year, I guess there are die cuts on there, it's a grid or started as one, and the papers (except the background) were from a 6 by 6 pad. I guess there is also food on the layout. I'm definitely thinking outside my usual box for these challenges |

Here is my first LO for the month, doing my own Triangle challenge and grammadee 's Gratitude challenge. This is a scraplift of a Miss Fish layout from the GingerScraps site. I had saved the layout to my PC but couldn't remember where I saw it. So I just did a search to see where I'd saved it from so I could post a link here, and I discovered that it was a template - if I'd known that before I started my LO I could have saved myself hours of work!!   This is the original:  Points: 1 for the LO, 1 for sharing, #1 Gratitude, #15 Mixing bowl - paint, #20 Nuvos, #21 Embellishing, #23 Inspired by + bonus point, #38 old photo, #40 layers, #49 flowers, #52 stitching, #54 rainbow, #55 dimensional, #57 triangles, #58 word up, #59 outdoors, #65 See the Pattern, #68 Butterfly TOTAL = 19 points |

kiwigirl , that rainbow paper is really pretty. I love how you manage to push it into the background with all the stacked elements around and behind your photo. Love the emoji. KelleeM , that little one is a sweetie. Love your journaling wondering what is going through that little mind. And I love the Team Kellee page. So special to have a team like this behind you when you are in a fight for your life. that cross stitched cat is cool, CoffeeCrafter . I have been enjoying your cards. Think I caught everyone else on Flickr.

CoffeeCrafter, that is a gorgeous thankful card, I love how the 2 pps work together, and the gentleness of the shape and how the sentiment fits on it! kiwigirl - are those the vicki boutin crayons again? I hope not, because I'm trying not to buy more stuff  It is simply drop-dead gorgeous! I spent time especially noting the embellies you chose and how they interact. The 2 red hearts create as much pop as the black bits! @breetheflea - awesome little banner and embellie clusters on "cousins". And I love your loose grid on bowling party, love the die cuts in the centre, really cool layout! JaneB -  Beautiful layout too. christinec68 - love how you used the FP paper, that looks like a very fun experience (although I can't quite make out the journaling. wah) AussieMeg - stunning as always! Love how your triangles go both directions, the softness of the "ink" in the middle of the layout, the colours. Your triangle challenge is one that most definitely caught my attention this month and it will impact my designs for sure! KelleeM - soft beautiful layouts - your layouts always have a soft pretty feel to them, and they capture the sweet face perfectly CoffeeCrafter - I love the sassy look on the cat's face! And the sugar skull hello kitty

kitbop that background wasn't me at all! I'd love to say it was but it is paper. It's a BoBunny one, really old, Faith, Marvellous paper. I just bought loads of 2 BoBunny religious collections, Faith and Believe because the papers were amazing, I am not religious at all but I always LOVE religious collections because the papers are usually so bright and cheerful! There's a store here in the UK that seems to have super old papers and I thought I needed something to spark my mojo off and that paper definitely did!

CoffeeCrafter- I love that card! The colors are perfect and I know it would make me smile to receive that! kiwigirl- Those colors are so fun! I'm never adventurous to do such fun, bright colors! I thought you made that background too! I love the embellishments! Great job on the 64 points! I love that page! @breetheflea- Such a pretty page! I like the emoji page! I'm always tempted to buy that collection, but I'm never sure how to use it. JaneB- Such a beautiful, simplistic page. I’m sorry for the loss of your mom; It’s a beautiful way to remember her. christinec68- I like the placement of the journal area and the photos. I’m horrible at including journaling in a place that makes it look like it belongs! Very nice! AussieMeg- I like that triangles! Even the photo as one…perfect! KelleeM- although I like both of the layouts the second one is my favorite! It just flows so well together and the subject is adorable grammadee- I love seeing the Disney pages! Very nice!
