There can never be too many challenges!! More inspiration and more to choose from!!
I could never try to do all of the challenges but I enjoy having a lot to choose from!
My blog: My Paper Life
I love the challenges, I love the inspiration I get from them to make an awesome page that I might not have otherwise thought to do. I think the more the merrier!

My New Blog! Scrapper, Interrupted
I'm a slow scrapper. I pick and chose challenges as the mood hits me. I enjoy the mental scrapping (planning my page and choosing the elements in my head)almost as much as I di actually putting it together physically. So lots of choices means more fun. But I get myself bent out of shape sometimes trying to complete a huge list.
I love all the challenges I get to choose from. Keep them coming! I appreciate everyone's efforts putting them together each month. Thank you!
I, too, love having so many choices! The first couple of months I almost burned myself out trying to do every one, but now I am getting more realistic ('sane') and do my faves first and then go from there----and just keep telling myself I do NOT have to do them all! I AM retired, so have much more time than many others, yet have to admit that doing every one would be hard. And having been a DT before, I understand the work the challenge hosts do to keep them coming, so thank you to all!
I am running away from my responsibilities,
and it feels good!

I agree with everyone else. I love that there are so much variety to choose from!

Ditto! Bring on the challenges!!
Not every challenge is for every scrapper. So there's no such thing as "too many". It's more like "Pick what you want to do/have time to do!" GO FOR IT.
I really like having so many to pick and choose from. I can never do them ALL...so I pick which ones I like for that month. I like to read them all, and the ones I immediately get ideas/pictures for I do right away...but then as the month goes on, I go back and reread them when I want to scrap and do some more. I have a personal goal of 12 per month...Haven't gotten there yet, but maybe this month!
I'm a digi scrapper too, and yes, there are some that are more difficult to interpret in digi, but the hostesses have been quite flexible if you are struggling. What I have done though is to post in the monthly goals post....even if I don't make goals, I still keep track of my layouts in there. And when I post a layout that is part of a challenge, I simply note it next to the challenge. I'm not good at keeping track of paper (hence part of the attraction of digital scrapping to me lol), and this way everyone else can see what I've done for challenges too!

I'm not sure if I just missed it or not, but is there a personal tally last so we can keep track of our own progress?
If you want to see an example of how I did it, go to this thread... .viewtopic.php?f=21&t=252395&hilit=april+goals&start=40 and look on page 3, the third or fourth post down. That is mine, and I showed what challenges the layouts represented. Maybe that will work for you!
I like having choices. I have never done all of them and doubt that I could but I like to pick and choose challenges so that they go with photos that I have on hand or that I want to scrap.
Hi everyone! My name is Susan and I love to scrapbook!
I love the challenges, and I do them, even if I often fail to turn them in before the end of the month...oops! I have a bunch of stuff I made last month that needs to be uploaded into the gallery, but my sweet little 17.5 yr old dog's health failed and she passed on at the end of July. So, I was kind of preoccupied. It has been a rough time. I miss her so much.

I am so sorry for your loss
not that that it's so important in the grand scheme of things, but there's always the rewind challenge for layouts you didn't get posted.
Oh no! So there was a 3rd. Soooooo sorry!!ratgirl wrote:I love the challenges, and I do them, even if I often fail to turn them in before the end of the month...oops!

I also love all of the challenges. I am still pretty new to ACOT and was so excited to find the challenges when I first came! I have never scrapbooked this much before. The challenges really motivate me and inspire me! I say the more challenges the better!!
I am so very sorry. My heart aches for you. How wonderful that you had so many years with her. I lost my Boomer in July too. He would have been 14 next month.ratgirl wrote:I love the challenges, and I do them, even if I often fail to turn them in before the end of the month...oops!

Oh Veronica....I am so sorry to hear this. Many many ((HUGS)). I lost my sweet Lady Lou 3 wks ago and I still miss her too. Its so heartbreaking.ratgirl wrote:I love the challenges, and I do them, even if I often fail to turn them in before the end of the month...oops!
