July 2009 TRAKking

Here’s the TRAKking for July ’09 (Marlene & I alternate tRAKking duties).

NewbieZZ
– We tRAK participation based on our group guidelines (see 1st post of this thread) & award a RAK at the end of each quarter to the person who participated the most (if there’s a tie or if it’s close, we do a random drawing of those closest). PledgeZZ plus the last RAK winner aren’t eligible.

The total # of LOs to critique varies per person. For example, if there are 10 total LOs posted by the group, but I posted 2 of them, then my total number to critique would be 8. My cutoff date for late critiques was 8/22. I didn’t include departed memberzz.

Note that Marlene & I do tRAKking similarly but there are slight differences because it’s so involved & we go w/ what works for us; this is NOT a complaint, we both enjoy doing this! But thought I’d put it out there in case anyone’s wondering why that’s so.

Please let me know if you have any queZZtions!

BWC #17 Scrap A ?OM

First, previous BWC responses:

BWC #15 - Summer, Punches, Savings:
Marlene's Friends

BWC #16 - Mini LO on an ATC:
Marlene's Mini LO on an ATC ("I love these guys")

BWC #13 - 90 Degree Rotation Monochromatic Lift:
Sharon's Friends in Our Hood
Brenda's Black & Chrome

BWC #14 - Complementary Colors:
Brenda's Orange Crush

BWC #10 - Card from a Sketch:
Brenda's Birthday Toast

Now for the new challenge.... since there have been some good, thought provoking questions raised as ?OMs, I challenge you to scrap a ?OM. Here are the list of ?OM that have been asked:

When did you realize you could make it on your own?
What is one state you haven't traveled to that you would like to visit?
What is one thing you plan to do, complete, or accomplish before the "daze' of summer have gone?
And finally, the most recent ?OM regarding style (your strengths, weaknesses, etc.)

Here's my LO for the challenge...
