I think it will help too, at least I hope it will! It will help me too!
I did the SAME thing when playing that Challenge....needed an addtl DSP...LOL! I'm still going to post it though...you should too! At least Jenn will know we did our best :rolleyes:
YES, definitely post them in the thread. When I was playing VSBN, which was awesome BTW, I posted my pages even though I didn't quite meet all the guidelines and just made a note of it. Having fun and getting inspired is what the challenge is all about. Not so much about the rules. ;)
Me too! Jenn is SO AWESOME for our Challenge Threads!
I just wanted to be sure everyone knew we weren't "missing out" because of consistency, it wasn't part of the equation. It's all good! I'm hoping the changes we're making and continuing to make will help more Gals play in the scrapping threads!
Ahh, you guys are too sweet to me. I definitely think you having the scrapping goals challenge in the challenge forum has sent us more players. And I need to add Scrappin November to my siggy so that when I'm posting elsewhere on here people might check it out. But, every time I try I get and error message.:( Guess I can't have it all.

I changed it even more once I realized that I added the extra DP -- so instead of using brads, I used dewdrops (can they count as brads??;) )

Oh Jenn posted at the same time as me -- so maybe dewdrops can be "called" brads -- hmmm
Can't upload anything for a couple of days now tho. I need to go to Edmonton tomorrow to be with my Dad. I'll spend a night or two up there. He did not have a good day today, and we are really worried right now for him. He had open-heart surgery 9 days ago and is not doing very well. They had to shock his heart today and drain fluid from around it. He had his 91st birthday on Halloween. He's still in ICU and it doesn't look like he's going anywhere for a while yet.
I'll pop on here when I get a chance -- it actually gets my mind onto something else, which is good for me. But I'm not very focused on anything right now either.

Please include your First and Last name, mailing address in case I don't have it already recorded.
These are the players I have heard from so far: Divanurse I'm Hooked LynetteA MzPenny Wendella247 Mewsin Goegirl fresshe Lmn Stamptician hcarnes Mousey'sMom ajmac
I would like to be able to send out the list by the 10th of the month. However, I am willing to add new players at any time and will send out an updated spreadsheet as needed. This is totally for fun and so that you can send RAK's just because or whenever you feel there is a need. You can send a card or a few scrappin' goodies if you like. But there is no pressure, only fun!
Ladies,
If you want to participate in the ongoing scrappy sisters RAK that we are starting this month or Lela's Scrappy Santa I need you to pm me with your name and address. You won't want to miss out on the fun. I've listed the names above of everyone I have heard from so far and I know we have lots of new players this month so, if you are curious what this is all about just pm me and I will explain.
I couldn't agree more about it being a shame for the challenges to get lost in the shuffle. And I think that when there is more consistency to these challenges they will have a better chance of getting posted on the front page. The last Thursday challenge that was posted was on 10/8 and the last manic monday sketch was on 10/20. The other thing is participation. As a challenge hostess I can tell you that we are all struggling right now for participation in all of our challenges. Scrapbooking doesn't get near the response that the card challenges do with the exception of the new-digi challenge. It seems to be the thing right now. What we need is some more traditional scrappers at SCS. No offense to you digi-gals.;) So, I encourage you to participate in every challenge that Lela and Tami post where possible for you, and if everyone on here does that, then I'm sure it'll get on the front page.
And then I think it is important to get the code right! I had the F & the C switched on the quote page and couldnt figure out why it wouldnt show up with the rest!!!

Shhhhh. I'm playing hooky from work today. I had a valid reason to not go in, but now I'm not utilizing my reason. I'm going down to my scrapbook room to play. Shhhhhhh.
LOL well, I look like a flake since my totals for last month still show a big fat 0, but I did actually get my 20 done plus about 10 more....just didn't get a single one uploaded...ugh, and I stuck to my budget. I'll try to do better this month...
Also no more classes until January so no budget and I can work on this stash...plus my monthly kit that I get.
My November Goals:
20 hybrid pages
$0 budget, digi and paper stash

I don't always upload my layouts either. I"m just honest about what I do and update my totals to reflect it. Sometimes I just don't have the time to upload and I'd rather spend the time creating anyway. So no worries if you haven't uploaded!
Great job Lela but, I also can't see the text me page. Probably just SCS having issues.:confused:
I went to try and get a new link for the page and none of the gallery is showing up for me :confused: I'll try to link it again when it's working!
Gotta pack for a "road trip" tomorrow....I'm going to visit "Mary Pat"!
(just kidding) but I'll be very close! Don't count me out for scrappin' though...I'm packing Scrap Stuff to ship to my hotel! A week is just too long w/o scrappin' & I'm hoping to get my Christmas Cards started especially!

Pages done and no $$ spent?!! WOOHOO!!!
It has less to do with uploading (although we love to see your work) and more to do with your page total isn't in your siggy so when I went to update, I didn't have a number ;) I'll go update now!

I hope you had a good time in SCRAP THERAPY today! I'm sure it will help!

The whole day off and I didn't finish my pages! I did spend about two hours working on them. Almost finished. I did the heat & stick powder with glitter on about thirty tiny chipboard pieces. It was torture (but really cute, I think). I can't wait to finish and post. Perhaps tomorrow (unfortunately, I do have to show up at work tomorrow). I did come up with a bit of drama this afternoon. I had envisioned crafting tonight, but this wasn't what I had in mind! More details on my blog.

I think her Gilmosaurus (ok, I forgot the spelling?) is WONDERFUL too!! I am one of those parents that had to "fight" the urge to help my boys with their projects so they would be "more perfect". It was a struggle for me...my perfectionist tendencies came out....:twisted: I'm sure it wasn't the crafting you were imagining for this afternoon but your picts will make a GREAT scrapbook page!

That's what I thought. I took pictures the whole time she worked. She's definitely not a night person (she'll put herself to be by 8:30) so this was a real struggle. I thought it was magnificent. I can't wait to make these pages. I'm going to look for a challenge that will work tomorrow! Now -- off to bed! She took after her Momma. I can get up at 4 or 5 but I have to go to sleep at a reasonabe time.

Thanks...I'll do a better job of it this month...things were just a bit hectic last month. Off to make and update my siggy now. For Octber I got 30 pages done and I had a $50 budget last month actually and only spent $40
Here's Mine
Just a reminder!
