To the challenge hostesses: I DO appreciate all that you do to come up with the challenge, and throughout the month with the monitoring and leaving love etc! I have had no mojo the past couple months as you may have seen me bellyache and moan about!!
I just pushed myself over the weekend and although my 2 layouts were quite simple -- I did some! I think I am back-- even if not at full force LOL!!!!!

I am shooting for MORE layouts for October!!

So : here is my challenge to you!!! Do MORE layouts than you did last month! P.S. Cards do count ....and I would count altered as well!

Post here how many you did in Sept, then edit the post as the month goes a long with a pic or link to your newest layout.

at the end of October I will put all the names in for a $5 ACOT gc.

This is a bit unconventional-- MORE MOTIVATIONAL -- in case any of you cherries need a little push too --like me to get you going!

Have a fun month with the challenges and I will see you back here periodically through the month!!
UPDATE: I have completed 7 Challenges so far!!! Whooo Hooo!! I feel pretty good compared to last month!!! And I still have half the month to go!!
WOW!!! Lots of participation-- thank you so much!! You gals really rocked out in OCT!!! There were a bunch who did over 19 challenges-- some over 20 even !!! You gals are amazing!I counted 24 participants who posted sept total and then updated for oct totals. the winning # from random.org is SweetSour !! Congrats to you !!! I will get your gc soon!To all participants, I have really enjoyed seeing all your layouts as the month progressed it was so fun!! Thank you to all of you!!

Last month was pretty good for me, even though I scrapped less than what I usually do - I did 22. So maybe I can do more than that!

LOl brandy I just saw your post on scrap a day that you got all the challenges done!!! WOW -- I don't know how you will do MORE?? maybe submit more than one to a challenge if allowed?
WAY TO GO!!!

LOL...or post layouts/cards that have nothing to do with challenges too. Oh, and if there's a GD and Becky Fleck sketches...its doable I think.

Hahaha ... good luck!

great idea

Sue you are so sweet and I need that push as I am now in full swing to get Mom's Cruise album done! I have 30 days to do so. Then on to the four Christmas Presents! Thank you! I think I did 11 last month with some not posted to Gallery. I'll edit if I did more or less. By the way I count a double layout as two.

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

No more until next week as I leave for ranch tomorrow 10/9 and don't get back to Houston until Sunday.

What a great challenge! I have an easy task in front of me, since I only managed 3 layouts last month! It was a very stressful month...you can see my layouts just die out the middle of August. Hopefully with my scrapspace getting put together over the next couple of days I can get something accomplished.

As of October 27...not as much as I hoped, but still more than last month!

Want to go one on one with me? I don't think I managed any either!! ZERO - ZIP!
EDITED - I BEAT LAST MONTH - I got one layout done so far, and my card will be posted tonight!

I am hoping I can reach this goal!

September: ZERO

October:

I got 11 challenges done in September, and I did 11 layouts that were'nt challenges. (I have lots of page kit swaps that I photos and background paper with, so I can sit on the couch and do them while recovering from surgery Sept. 13. That's working pretty well, but they don't always go along with challenges.)

Anyway, thanks for this extra motivation, and hope you get back into your scrappy groove soon!

Susan you are awesome! And I too had a large part of the month where I had no motivation, and then at the end of the month scrambled to get a few done. Looking at my gallery, I only did 5 layouts in September, and two of them were for my own graphic design challenge! So I am hoping to blow that number out of the water this month!

And btw, you came back with a bang, as I loved the pages you did! Sometimes all that mojo is in there, it is just hiding from us. And then suddenly it all comes out!

1) Okay here is my first one for the month. It is for my own graphic design challenge, but hey, it's still a page!

2) Number two for the month, for my new music challenge.

3) For the Oct Ad Challenge

4 and 5) For the Rewind Challenge

6 and 7) For the Oct Die Cut Challenge

8) For the Oct Fashion Findings Challenge

9 and 10) For the Oct Color Challenge

11) For the Oct Journaling Challenge

12) For the Oct Pet Challenge

Yay I did 12 pages this month! That is awesome for me!!

I know, she's awesome, isn't she? I don't know how she gets so many done, but she truly is a lean mean scrapping machine lol! You rock Brandy!

Thank you!! TOO FUN!!! Susan, I hope your mojo goes NON STOP CRAZY this month!!!

I did 14 (1 card + 13 layouts) Which is sorta unbelievable because I was "without mojo" too for a couple weeks!!

17
