July Monthly Chat!!

Hey guys, our July monthly challenge are almost all ready to go up, but because we have had so few entries for the June chs, we would love it if you would give them a go first! I have added an extension to the June chs, so they are now due midnight tomorrow, Sat 2nd July!!

For those of you who have done the June chs, July chs will be up today! I just need to find a little sunshine so i can get a decent pic of my layout for you all, but my kiddies are getting a little impatient for breakfast first, so i better get out of bed and feed them before i do anything else! lol!!

Oh yaaay!!!
Gotta love your extensions Vicki - you are tooooooo kind xx

And YEPS, I'm really looking forward to seeing the Jluy challenges...

LOL Linda, i have two half finished layouts here from last month and it seems a waste not to finish them if i get time!! lol!!

I'm hearing ya Vicki
I have attempted and binned soooo many attempts at Ant's technique challenge that I was glad when I'd eventually missed the deadline...
But in the spirit of Sir Winston Churchill, I'm gonna suck it up and repeat his mantra of NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give up!
So I am off to find a space somewhere in my war-zone like scrap room and try to whip up something that I'm not too embarrassed to upload...
Yes, my previous attempts were so bad that even Miss 7 said "Oh no Mummy, you can't put that in the gallery, it looks worse than if a boy did it!!!" - I sooooo love her honesty and gender-bias approach to papercraft...

LMAO Linda, that is soooo funny!! I have made a start on mine for Ant's ch, but not sure how it will look when i'm finished!! lmao!!

To join in the July challenges what will i need to do?

Leanne - all you have to do is complete the challenges and upload the LOs you do in the appropriate gallery. It is that easy. Yell out if you need a hand in uploading.

ok thanks

Wooooo to a new month's challenges but thanks for the extension Vick! I am determined to knock a LO together tonight for your June monthly as it was the only one I didn't get done.

And Linda - LMFAO at what DD said to you!!!

I didnt do too badly with the crop and maybe one monthly challenge that I finished. I am going to start fresh in July. It hasnt been easy with a new computer to try to get used to using with a different operating system than I was used to AND a new camera which I am still having problems uploading photos to my computer. Hopefully things will be smoother this month! I see that the monthly challenges are posted already and I am excited to go to see what fun is in store for my scrapping pleasure.

Are you working on these challenges?? Only a few days left to get your entries in!! I am hoping to have a play today, but aren't holding my breathe with Bj running around under my feet!!

I'm drowning in assignment deadlines here at the moment, but have been squeezing in 5 minutes to my layouts whenever I can.

Am DETERMINED to get all the monthly's done again.

I currently have photos, papers & embellies all over my desk for each of them, just need to actually find a solid hour of free time to whack it all together.

How's everyone else going???

Good work Linda!

I have had a very productive morning so far, haven't actually scrapped, but have emptied 10 (yes you read that correctly) boxes of scrappy stuff!! I have found heaps of stuff i had forgotten about, lol, now i just need to get back to it after i have some lunch and get everything sorted into my shelves!! Have been sorting it all into categories, but now i have to figure out the best way to store everything!! So happy to have all the boxes gone tho!! Might actually be able to get some mojo and get some stuff done now!! You watch tho, i will get it all packed away and go into labour!! lmao!!

VICKI!!!! DON'T YOU DARE GO INTO LABOUR YET!!!!

Just make the CM next weekend, then possibly opening night for the crop, then you can go any time you like after that...

looks like you might have to cross those legs Vicki

LOL, i don't PLAN on going into labour any time soon, but you can't really plan these things!!

I have the perfect solution to prevent labour...

Take 2 panadol, hold them tightly between your knees and don't let go!!!



Let us know if you need any help with setting challenges etc Vicki...



I'd come down and scrap your layouts for you, but by the time I drive down from Bris-Vegas your new arrival will be on solids!!!

Yaaay!!!

Finally managed an hour of "ME" time just now and got all three of the monthly challenges done... another super-quick mad-dash scrap session, but at least they are done!

Just need to take photos tomorrow so I can upload them to the gallery...

BRING ON AUGUST!!!

jeepers linda!! it would take me an hour just to find all my stuff in the boxes running around the house still let alone get a layout done! You have managed 3 WAY TO GO!!! Awesome effort!

Thanks Retta!

I've even managed to photograph and upload them before the deadline... phew!!!

Way to go Linda!!

I am hoping to find some end of month mojo tonight!! Manage to farm the kids out to MIL tonight and Matt will be at work! Just hoping i didn't over do the house work today and i don't pike it tonight! Have had a huge week, so am resting now, and will hopefully get into it as soon as Matt leaves for work!

Yikes better get my LO's photographed tomorrow and get them uploaded

I am ready for the August Challenges! I sent just over 200 photos to Snapfish for printing on Thursday and they should be in the mail the first part of the coming week. I cant wait to see what we have in store for us next month!

Right I am off to take pics of those layouts, gorgeous day here too!

I have a layout for Sue's ch half done, and if i can find a pic in the next half hour, i may be able to pull something together for Ant's ch!! I have had visitors (3 different lots) all day, so now they are all gone, i can have a play while the kiddies are watching TV!!

Have also got my Aug ch all set so need to get a pic of it as well!!
