    oooo - good idea @Sunberry2. Maybe I can come up with a theme like my favorite things or something.

    I like that idea for a theme! The song instantly came to mind and I think it would help me create coordinating pages.

    Hoping to attend the chat. It will be 6 p.m. my time, so I'll have to rush thru dinner... And 3x5 is still bigger than ATCs. My only dilemma is having to resize everything after the challenge to make them fit onto 8.5 x 11 pages. I am thinking of splitting each template into two: a left side and a right side. That would give me 2 double-side layouts, not too shabby. I do absolutely NOTHING in 12x12, not once in the past 11 years, since I've been doing digital. :-) Nothing like being a bit rigid...

    @mcurtt Marilyn - The printable I created is a PNG, and I made it letter-sized, so you can use it to work with 8.5x11 if you prefer. I hope that helps. I was able to fit 3 cards onto that size of page.

    "Hope you're able to make it tonight, Jan. I take it he survived his *cough* physical...lol.
    Hahaha yeah, he did. He swears those doctors soak their hands in ice water before the physicals"

    What would those men do if presented with a cold speculum!

    Thanks for a fantastic chat, everyone! Can't wait to see your creations. The next set of prompts go up early Saturday. If you experienced any transparency issues with the original .zip file, new links have been listed in the original post.

    I'm starting off with day 2, because I have to turn my day 1 into a full LO. I don't know what got into me: I usually don't journal much, but this time I felt like I had so much to write!
    I'm not posting to the gallery yet. I want to see how it goes.
    Thank you for the inspiration, Margaret! @londoncuppa

    LOL...that's great that it was such an inspiration for you. Tag me when you post it. I'd love to see it!!!

    If you get a chance to do Day 1 by the end, that would be great. You can always pick a different topic. I want you to get your prize coupon! :D

    It wasn't on the calendar, so you didn't miss it. :agree It was added late. It's such a great opportunity to take advantage of the Christmas in July sale. I'm so glad you're playing along. Can't wait to see what you do. I'll be posting Day 3 prompts shortly.
