How are you all doing?

How many challenges have you done or how many do you have left?

Any one that is sticking out as hard or challenging for you?

What's your favorite layout that you've scrapped so far for this month's challenges?

ROFL!! You beat me to it, Wendy! :D
I was just going to post this question. I guess I was too slow!

I have 7 done, which is much better than I've been doing the last several months.

I think the toughest ones for me this month are art journaling & primary colors.
 
I'm at 7 too- just finished one today!

My favorite so far is #18 scraplift:


I'm struggling with the Eureka OLW :/
 
I just finished up today. Not sure how long I will keep this pace up but going with it for now. Eventually I will hit a brick wall where I just stare at PS.

The hardest one for me was the journaling one.
 
Honestly, I haven't even looked at the challenges yet. I think I might have saved myself a spot in the list, but other than that I haven't had time to read through them to try to plan the month out. :(
 
Took a minute for me to decide on the Stash one #17. But now I only have 2 challenges left.
11 and 16 both easy for me!
 
I've only got a few done and don't expect to finish them all but I'm ok with that. I'm on a shopping freeze for awhile since I won't be working much next month and almost no pay for the month so don't need a coupon. I'll just play along for fun for a few of the challenges but the next few months are going to be budget saving for me.

Yeah I noticed you didn't do it and know you were busy last night with J's birthday!

The Primary Color one I've not even thought about---I hate primary colors and am hoping I can pull that one off, last minute of course! :D

Oh Amy!!!! WOW!!! That's gorgeous!!! Share your shadowing secrets!! :wub:

I had to look up the definition of Eureka to be able to figure out how I wanted to use it in my layout.
By definition, it means "A cry for joy when one discovers something".
With that, I used that as my inspiration for a travel page and the excitement we had while driving out West for the very first time! We didn't say "eureka", but we sure had the definition as we took in the wonders before our eyes during that vacation

Maybe that will help you?

We all have months like that!!! I hope you are able to find some time to sit and scrap, even if it isn't for the challenges! I love seeing your layouts in the gallery!

Oh I'll have to check out your gallery and find your #17 layout!!!
And yes, those two aren't that bad---you saved the easiest one for last--the Anything challenge!!

Yay for getting some done. That's completely understandable that you won't be stressing to get yourself finished if you know you aren't going to spend your coupon. I've done that, especially when we moved. I can't wait to see the layouts that you are scrapping filling the gallery!

Yes! That's a great way to use the word! Thank you! Shadow secrets... lol! I make a new layer & use black & white brushes at 10% opacity to shadow/highlight... that's all I've got! Ha!
 
I would love a video as well Amie! I think a lot of ladies could learn from it.
 
I have currently finished 8 of them! So proud of myself since I went all summer not doing any of the Passport challenges!

I have a few ideas for some of the challenges I have left, but I know I'm not going to finish blackout! I'm ok with that! Any layout finished is a good thing at this point!

I think the hardest ones/ones I won't do this month are OLW-Eureka (it's not a word I would use in my typical everyday occurance, so I can't think of a way to scrap it), Favorite Life lesson, currently wondering, and dialogue/conversation. Hmmmm, I see a pattern! As much as I enjoy journaling on my pages, I don't like my journaling to be planned ahead of time! Maybe I'll have to work on that moving forward! ;)

Good luck to all of you trying to get Blackout!

yep, I managed to get them all done. Granted I didn't get other stuff I should have been doing done, lol. Also, keep in mind I don't have young children or a husband. This is an anomaly, may not be the same next month.

Great job, Amie!! Your scraplift is gorgeous. I'm struggling a bit with that one.

I'm glad you'll still be scrapping, Rae. I've been in that budget freeze spot. It's a good time to use things from your stash!

I've done 3......LOL.

LOL! With as fast and as much as you scrap, Biancka, I have no doubt you'll finish!

Thank you for picking up the slack! :wub:

I love your Eureka LO!! I think I'm going to use a Disneyland photo (California Adventure to be more exact). I think "Eureka" is painted on the side of the rapids ride (my mind is blank right now!).

Amie... I would LOVE to see a video, too!!

That's awesome, Dawn!! Hopefully some inspiration will hit you for those challenges that you're struggling with :)

I have 6 done, I think.... been too busy for me to scrap the last week.

Six is great! Any page scrapped is a good thing!!
 
I've done 10 so far, I need to get my finger out and stop procrastinating!

This one would be my favourite



I've never met a kid who loves school as much as this one does - and he was so excited and happy to be going back to school - we had to make a detour to the hospital first though to visit mum so she could see him on his first day back :)
 
Yikes, I'm only at six. I want to get at least nine and use my gift certificate. My wish list is filling up again.
 
I don't think completing them all is going to happen for me this month :/ I try and incorporate them into things I need to scrap for my albums and I'm just having a hard time making it work this time!
 
This month, I've had to shift my focus from scrapping to sewing. My daughter-in-law's baby shower is the first weekend of October, and I'm trying to get several projects sewn up to give to her.

But in-between sewing tasks, I'm grabbing a smidge of scrapping time. I won't get the passport completed this month, but I'll get a couple pages done.
 
Well, I haven't done ONE yet so not good so far for me :D

I don't even know where my time has gone because apart from losing a bit of weight I haven't achieved much else LOL. I'm going to open PS tonight once the kids are asleep I think and see if I can make something I like :blink:
 
I only have 4 done. I'm not going to finish this month. Traveling half the month makes it tough. But hey, I'll have lots of great photos to scrap next month!
Thanks for the eureka definition - that does make it easier! The hardest for me would probably be the smashbook.
