2014 Scrapbooking Kickoff ... joining Challenges | update 2

If you've been reading my blog for the past few weeks, you know I'm doing the Month of Challenges over at The Lilypad.

Here's the original Blog Post.

Super excited to report that I am all caught up once again! Today is Day 20 ... yes, that means I have completed 20 pages this month. (actually I've done a few more because I've also finished up the monthly January challenges as well... 7 challenges that run each & every month. but more on that another day.)

2014 Scrapbooking Kickoff ... joining Challenges | update 1

So last week, I mentioned the Month of Challenges over at The Lilypad.

Here's the Blog Post. And here's a little excerpt from that post (with the links & some details):

I think the mother of all challenges right now is The Lilypad's Month Of Challenges. Each day in January, there is a new challenge posted. If you complete the challenges (all challenges are due Feb 2, so you do not have to have them completed the day they are posted) you earn $20 credit to the TLP store. Plus you'll have 31 pages done once Feb rolls around! Pretty cool. GO HERE to see the challenge information.

I'm happy to report I'm caught up ... through Day 12. That's almost half-way!

2014 Scrapbooking Kickoff ... joining Challenges

I'm trying to get my digital scrapbooking into full gear, early this year. I've been cruising around the various hangouts ... looking for fun challenges to participate in.

I think the mother of all challenges right now is The Lilypad's Month Of Challenges. Each day in January, there is a new challenge posted. If you complete the challenges (all challenges are due Feb 2, so you do not have to have them completed the day they are posted) you earn $20 credit to the TLP store. Plus you'll have 31 pages done once Feb rolls around! Pretty cool. GO HERE to see the challenge information.

Last year I tried and only made it to like Day 5. Embarassing.
