What is is the Scrapbook Variety Challenge? Sounds like fun!
It will be a weekly challenge that might be using a technique or a specific type of embellishment or whatever I can come up with to make it fun and interesting. The important thing is to inspire you to scrap some memories.
Michele, your challenge will fit any page that needs to be scrapped. I have my papers, pictures and ready to start! All I need is time!! I should have some a little later this morning.

Got another set done to reach my goal for February - yay! I also did a coorisponding one for my DD's Halloween costume mini album, which I am going to count as 1 page.
I just got an orange shutterfly envelope with some new pictures. Trying to keep working on my baby's 1st year.

Here is an ultrasound photo of our little 10week old bubby. As we don't think we will find out if we have a boy or a girl, we have named it/them Jellybean.

Here is my L/O for Michele's new variety challenge. Since texting too new to me I used a couple shortcuts that Michele as posted, then one more that I looked up on the site she directed us to.
Good morning...left some luv but still have a lot more pages to visit...but my eyes are getting buggy from being on the computer so long :-) Off to get some chores done!
Completed a couple of pages this month, but for some reason, my mojo is really slow. Good thing I have a personal goal to post a layout weekly on my blog, or I might never get anything done! I'll have to check out Michele's variety challenge and see if I can get inspired.

We are finally settled in our new house! Yay! My craft room is almost completely organized. I believe I'll scrap anyway! hahaha!
I hope to get quite few pages done next week. *crossing fingers*
I finished up my mini book last night, now i just need to take pictures! My husband is taking 1 of 4 CPA tests today, we are hoping he passes and it will be his last. It is hard to focus on anything. I'm so nervous for him.

Thanks! Just try to take the tests before having two kids and working. That has probably been the hardest part is that he has so many other obligations.

So anybody who read previously about my digital book from Snapfish that had every page cut off. Well I contacted Snapfish and not only did they give me a refund, but they also gave me credit to make another book. Well my mom was planning on making a digital book and she found this place on snapfish where it shows you what can be cut off, and then there is a place to put a safe border. So now every page should have a white border around it but nothing should be cut off. I just ordered my new book and I'll report back how it goes. I am quite pleased with their customer service and assuming this next book turns out good, I will definitely recommend them.

GREAT NEWS! Thanks so much for sharing that back. I was just encouraging another mom today who wants to scrapbook for her kids to consider those books as an option to get caught up quickly so I'm glad that they are working with you to make it right!

Cute! and Congratulations....after everything you've been through lately, what a nice ending/beginning!
And speaking of babies, I'm wondering if Lynley has had her baby yet? Haven't seen her on lately and this is the time she was due.......

I was thinking of Lynley just yesterday and wondering the same thing... and thinking that she can't possibly have any free time anymore to scrap. Let's see...doctor--check; wife--check; new mommy, check; scrapping????? Anyway, I hope she'll at least pop in and let us know!
Good thing I was able to scrap last week 'cause this week it's not happening! Hopefully next week *sigh, wishful thinking*
Sending {{Scrappin' Vibes}} your way so when you have time again, the mojo is there. I had a week like that this week. As much as I dreamed of scrapping, it just wasn't going to happen as I was wrapped up in chemical spill research ... oh yeah, sucks the creative juices right out of ya! :rolleyes:
I'm hoping that's behind me and this week is a better week for crafting. I just have some errands to run in the next few minutes and then hope to be back to my table for some pages.
Tomorrow I'm going to visit my oldest DS at college! I'm very excited as I haven't seen him since the first of January ;)

I having trouble with my mojo too and I had planned to make a Disney princess layout to frame for my DGD's birthday...which is tomorrow! Not sure it's gonna happen! Guess I'd better get my supplies out and stand in front of my scrapping table and see what happens, huh?
Thursday Challenge -- 021711 -- 2nd Chance at Love
** It is with disappointment I share with you that Tam has let me know that she's not able to continue with hostessing the Thursday Challenge :-( As you know, life doesn't always work out exactly like we would hope and at this time she has some other unexpected obligations that have come up she needs to focus on. Don't worry, we'll still be seeing her great inspiration here in the Scrap Thread and we'll go on with the Thursday Challenge.**
And So....
The Thursday Challenge Goes On!! Since this week was Valentine's Day, it gives us a great chance to remember how lucky we are that we have the love and inspiration from SCS and especially for our Scrap Pages, our friends here at the Goal Thread! I really appreciate Tam for helping with the Thursday Challenge in January and those Gals that are willing to host challenges when we have VSBN. I always have good intentions of using those challenge ideas for pages and especially it's fun to play during the current time frame. BUT, sometimes life doesn't afford us that luxury of all the time we want to get those pages done ... so this week's Thursday Challenge is your 2nd Chance at LOVE! I'm sure like me you had ideas for a page or 2 from some of Tam's Thursday Challenges in January or this most recent VSBN so this is your chance! Pick a challenge or 2 that you really wanted to play and play now! Leave that hostess some "love" on your upload into the gallery!

{{Scrappin' Vibes}} Sending some to you too Wendy! I know that can be frustrating! Isn't mojo a funny thing? Comes and goes when it wants to. I hope something sparks for you today to get the frame done ;)
