Leftover Challenge from June: (from Amy aka Shirley’s Girl) Scraplift Lela aka LMN here is her gallery: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I will post new challenges this month as soon as I can. But you still have the above challenges, just be sure and use their key word and this month’s keyword: SBC22DEC
Sharon please keep me on the list as I do intend to get back to scrapping my trips one of these days lol.
I did start a monthly journal in October and I guess that counts as scrapping as I used emphera and stickers in it and did some BG pages. I’ve kept up to date with it so far.
I can’t believe it’s December either. Happy weekend and scrapping.

Well, what was a very unproductive scrapping month changed for me on a very rainy Thanksgiving Day. We went to our lake place and the kids didn't come until late that night, so I had no cooking to do and yucky weather. I actually packed up like a crop I haven't done in years. I took all my Christmas stuff and managed to finish 16 pages and last year's album! Our Wifi is so crappy I never did get any uploaded to the gallery, but I will just push on for December. Below our my first two December pages of my two most previous foster dogs. Now I am only one page away from my YTD goal!
Amy, do you keep each dog’s book, or does it go with them?
I am doing the book for me with each dog having a two page spread. I don't really have any agenda on how long I plan to do this or how many dogs I hope to help, so I just started this book as a way to tell my journey of fostering along the way and remember details about each dog. Started fostering in February and am getting a new dog (number 10) tomorrow. Lucy, the one I did the recent page on, is graduating the Pups for Parole Program early and has an approved application and meeting planned with who I hope is her forever home on Wednesday. Fingers Crossed!!!

Checking in! finally... I have one page done so far this month. I started uploading my parents calendar to get it printed and discovered?? I had forgotten to do the cover. :p
I am setting a vague goal of 10 for the month of December, but we'll see. I know, I've far exceeded my yearly goal, and I'm happy with that. I just am hoping to get more done... haha! My family was sick enough, with a variety of things, that someone stayed home 14 days in November, and I ended up with a cold for the whole last half of November, and it took. me. out. So very, very little holiday prep happened in November, lol, and it all has to happen now.
I hope you are all having a lovely holiday season, and get some fun crafty time too!

Congratulations to Tanya, Amy, & Pia for exceeding their yearly goals! Wow! I bet there are a few more, too. They just haven’t checked in this month yet. You need to show the rest out how to do that!
I am glad you got your calendars done, Tanya. Thanks for the good wishes for the holidays. Hope you are having a more healthy season now, yourself.
Hello all! 8 pages left for me to meet my goal. Very proud of how far along I have come in this journey. This month I worked on many projects from silver shoes for a tin man costume to the silver funnel hat, to 11 work anniversary cards for my husband (in which they talked about my cards being $30 each) from the Christmas tree decorations to the door decor. As you can probably read I never stop, I am always creating something.
I don’t know if I will be done with the 8 pages that I still need to finish before the end of the year, but I have accomplish so much this year, I am happy with where I am today.

Congratulations, Carole on getting so many projects done. I think that sometimes we expect too much from ourselves! So, glad you are happy with what you have done.
I am not sure I will make my goal this month. I am making treat holders for work, i finished the ones for my coworkers but want to make some for my husband to bring to his office. I bought packs of Oreos to wrap. I also need a few more Christmas cards.

Be sure and share your treat holders in your gallery, Pia, and tells us here so we can go look. 😃
well there are only 6 layouts in our December gallery! I should do all my scrapping before December, and not even bother to have a goal for the month! LOL. Sounds like the same for all of us!
I am thinking of starting off the year with a VSBN in January. Thoughts? Suggestions for a theme? Challenges you might be interested in the new year, or that you might want to host? PM me or chat right here. 😉
Sharon,
I like the way you think! Get ahead and not worry about making pages in December. I might get some scrap time after Christmas. I’m off after this Thursday.
I want to start in January. I am going to keep track of pages, cards, and gifts I make.
Maybe a theme challenge to match each month, New Years, valentines, Easter, etc

Popping in to wish all of you a blessed Christmas season. That most precious day of celebration is rapidly approaching.
I've made lots of cards and embroidery projects lately, but very few layouts.
Sharon, your idea to host a VBSN in January sounds inspiring! I'll check back for more details.
With this post I share all my love to you, my scrappy friends! May God bless you and keep you healthy. May the light of our Jesus shine in your heart!

This is all I have made so far this month, altho my youngest keeps reminding me to work on our Disney books, hahaha. This is our family Christmas card this year. The layout comes from a template that came with a download purchase from MDS, I just swapped out the camping images for Christmas words, haha. Then I just print it as a 4x6 and mail it out!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to each of you! See you in the new year!

Pia, you have been busy! I have cleaned up my craft room so our granddaughter can sleep on an air mattress in the middle of the room. So I won’t be able to craft until the New year. LOL. I choose having family here over crafting for a week!
Merry Christmas!
Be watching for a link to our January Monthly Goals!
Amy! Congratulations on being the Featured Stamper this week on SplitcoastStampers!
we could all Scraplift Amy to honor her as Festured Stsmper! I can’t until after Saturday, though. My craftroom is sleeping quarters for granddaughter this week.
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. We froze at the patriots game Saturday then had a nice dinner with my mother. Sunday we had family over including my two month old great niece. So fun!

Thanks Sharon. I am quite blown away to be chosen for this! To be perfectly honest this is one challenge I don't often play in because I get lost in everyone else's beautiful galleries and lose all my play time. I certainly need to change that in this upcoming year. I do love to CASE other people's creativity and so often do that with scraplifts in this thread. I think I need to look at it more like that. I will enjoy the week of walking through memory lane in my own gallery through another's eyes. I'm feeling like I got a bonus Christmas present! Maybe that is stupid, but it's an honor to me to join several of you others in this group who have been in this spot in the past. Hugs!

Amy, awesome! And, yes, Sharon, good idea for us to scraplift her for the FS gallery.
I actually have made another l/o for Dec. This makes 2 for me. Christmas Eve at OLoG by AnniePanda at Splitcoaststampers

I actually scraplifted myself for my last page to reach my yearly YTD goal. The theme was so similar to my start of my 2021 album, I thought I'd use its basic design again for my start of my 2022 album. Yes, I know it is almost 2023, but hey I can at least say I got started in the same year!!! Ha!
Today I put today a Ctmh kit of 13 layouts. Yesterday I put a lot of paper wizard titles together. And both days I spent time working on a baby boy gift book. So no layouts per se, but I had crafting time.

I finished the baby scrapbook I was working on. It is a gift. I also worked on putting together same paper wizard titles and a kit and some whole kit and kaboodle kits.

I just made it under the wire with 8 pages! They're not fancy but I'm pretty happy with them. I'm pretty proud that my DGS's 2021 album is done! This is the only year I've never completely finished because I always skip around. Now on to 2022!. Happy New Year to everyone!
