Happy weekend, everyone! I'm hoping to get a couple more layouts for the Scrap-A-Thon done this weekend, and I'm hoping to spread more love in the gallery. There are some incredible layouts this month!

How are you doing with this month's Scrap-A-Thon challenge? Have any of the challenges pushed your creative limits or encouraged you to learn or try something new? :)

GOOD LUCK, all! :)
 
Super topic and Happy Saturday to you. I have currently 12 challenges completed and 22 LO's done. Not all go with challenges but I'm trying. Working on my comments in the gallery. This has been fun.
I'm also working on cleaning down some of my layered files for storage space.

I have 33 challenges completed with only one left in the project 52 left. I have been having some health issues and haven't been able to write too many comments but will do so soon. Yes some challenges challenge me.
 
WOW!!! You're doing awesome!

I've done 20 challenges and am working on the gallery comments. I try to make at least 2 comments a day.
 
I think I have 20 challenges done, the last ten are ones that I find really difficult for me, especially merging two templates. I doubt I’ll get it done. The kids Dad is going back to work Monday after being off work for a month after falling on ice and hurting himself. My production should increase then.

‘’comments are so difficult when you struggle with English, I have real sympathy for those that have other languages first, it’s a real disadvantage in things like this.
 
I have gotten 27 of the 31 challenges done some have really been a challenge for me and the first time doing particular ones. I have 50 comments done so far hoping to do more but will see how time goes with trying to make sure I keep up with my ct designers duties it has been a challenge. Still have to figure out what to say in why I would like to be on the store CT team which has been a dream of mine for years. I did miss the deadline for the wish list :( I forgot it ended before the end of the month. Still chugging along will get as much done as I can. Is there more than 31 challenges? I thought I read different numbers in some posts?
 
I understand that you can do a total of four the Project 365 challenge to count (one for each week of the month). So that brings the total number of possible challenges to 34. GOOD LUCK! :)

I'm about halfway through the challenges. I'm loving trying some new ones this month. I'm also trying to leave more love in the gallery :)
 
I am loving the more gallery comments. Thank you all and I’ve stepped up my comments.
as for the challenges… I think I will be adding a couple more by Friday.

There are some - a real struggle for me- some aren’t anything I want to scrap and not a fan of just creating something “ because “.
however I am enjoying this change from Survivor this year.

I agree... it's so sweet to get extra comments on layouts, and I've been trying to leave more, as well. What a great challenge... to spread the love. <3
 
I'm only about 10 challenges in so far. Was hoping to have more done by now, but work and home schedules haven't let up much. Fun to see all the layouts in the gallery...need to step up my love leaving game! Keep going all, we're in the home stretch!!
 
Finally have all 34 completed. Some I generally don't do but this month I set a goal to get them all done. Love the comments but that is my downfall.
 
Wow! Congrats on getting all 34 layouts done! I don't know if I'll have time to do all the challenges, but I'm thrilled that someone has!

I am totally thrilled seeing all the comments this month. Hope that Spreading the Love continues after the Scrap-A-Thon. It's an excellent way to bond and share the love of scrapbooking.

There have been questions in the forums as to how to let the person who commented on your layout that you appreciated it. Even though we don't have the software module to leave a LIKE or THANKS we can show appreciation by leaving a comment on their layouts with a comment and/or thank you. An excellent WIN WIN solution.

Dutch is my first language, although I can manage in English I find it hard to comment, I don't want to write the same things all the time, but I try. I've got 21 challenges done, lots of time to scrap at the moment because I have Corona, so I'm isolating. Don't feel very sick, a sore throat and a cold.
 
I've only done 8 so far, but I really want to get that 20 LO reward kit, so I need to get to scrapping :) I really like having extra challenges to choose from this month!
 
Yvonne, I hope you're feeling better. Is it possible for you to leave your comments in your native language? I know if I saw a comment that wasn't in a language I could read, I would copy it and run it through Google Translate. Could be fun! :)

Sherri, I'm still needing to finish that one, too. I'm planning to take the background design of one layout and the photo placement of another layout to combine. I've been looking at Miss Fish Templated and Dagilicious Templates as great examples to combine.

I have the one left called perfectly paired. Two templates together …. Any advice?

I just finished the perfectly paired. I found it hard to wrap my mind around for some reason. I finished 31 did not do the three extra Project 52 possibilities. I loved this Scrapathon. Loved it.

Hope you are all better now. I am sorry it is difficult for you also. I had to relearn most English after a medical issue, and struggle, and find them hard. I say the same things all the time, coplete with spelling errors. I don't copy and paste but they are similiar.
 
Remember, all.... today is the last day of the Scrap-A-Thon challenge. Be sure to update your counts in your cookie jar TODAY so you don't miss out on the prizes.
