Monthly Challenge 4/August 2011 - The Boob Tube

First, some business: Margaret regrets she couldn't post the July MC as scheduled. And, let's hear it for the only challenge response posted since the last challenge:

Response to MC 3 - Scrap a Favorite Summer Vacation Memory: Brenda's Hotel Mac/Thirty Fi35ve

Check it out if you haven't already!

Now for the challenge - The Boob Tube. Okay, I admit, the fact that I've been nursing our little one since last year may have led to the title of this challenge, LOL. But this challenge has nothing to do with babies or mammary glands (unless you want it to)! Simply put, scrap a layout using the title of a TV show, past or present. Easy & fun, right?!

Enjoy & happy scrapping!

(PS I really do intend to respond to this one someday, please pardon my delay! I recently splanned my response to the challenge I posted last, months ago. SO... though I stretch out deadlines, my responses WILL get scrapped!)

May 2011 TRAKking

First off, Marlene will be awarding the RAK for Jan-Apr 2011 – excited to see who it will be! (ETA: see below for winner)

Here’s the TRAKking for May 2011.. My cut-off date for late critiques was 7/1. Challenges were optional as usual but I’m recognizing those who responded. Everyone’s # of LOs to critique is different (it’s the total # of LOs minus that person’s own contributions).

Though the group has been mellow lately, I’m so grateful that we’re staying active however we can, despite these changes!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

PS I removed Wendy from the list as a re-read of her last FB msg to me revealed that in a roundabout way she was telling me she was leaving, though she didn’t want to. She does want to come back to say hello every now & then. Good luck w/ the baby, the scrap club & everything, Wendy!

June Monthly Challenge

Hi Girlzzz,
First off I wanted to give a shoutout to the responses to the last challenges

Response to 2010 BWC 25 (Tis The Season), 2011 BWC 2 (Use Your Supplies) and our intermittent Catch-Up Challenges:
Sharon's Xmas in Texmas ('09)

Response to 2010 BWC 23 (Halloweenish), 2011 BWC 3 (Bird is the Word, word for this was "challenging") and our intermittent Catch-Up Challenges:
Sharon's Caruso: Our Halloween Treat

Summer is now upon us and I know a lot of us have numerous vacaton photos lying around just waiting to be scrapped. So for this BWC scrap your favorite summer vacation memory. Include journaling on your layout and to add a little twist use at least 3 different journaling spots on three different parts of the page.

Monthly Challenge for May: "Moms are people too"

With Mom in mind (Mother's Day is on the 8th - don't forget!), I'd like to focus on moms as people. Do a LO that celebrates the woman you are fortunate enough to also call mom. Her childhood, her marriage, her best friends, but something about her that showcases her as the woman she is or was rather than focusing on her as your mother. ALSO, bring back a classic: do some punch art on the page. Look at those punches you've amassed as shapes that can be turned into something else. You could just do some layered embellishments or an elaborate scene. Have fun.

March 2011 TRAKking

Here’s the TRAKking for March 2011 (yes I have a little more downtime now that I'm back at work than I did while on maternity leave!). My cut-off date for late critiques is 4/28. Challenges were optional as usual but I’m recognizing those who responded. Everyone’s # of LOs to critique is different (it’s the total # of LOs minus that person’s own contributions). There were some JFS LOs posted (people requesting critiques on less LOs than they posted) so some of you received extra credit for extra commenting! (No extra credit given for late critiques.) Please let me know if you have any questions.
