    Next up for June - focus on Technique!

    I like them. I haven't completed any of them but I always like another source of inspiration :)

    Just finished my last one & I have to say I LOVE them! I love that you're changing things up each month & I'm one that can never have too many challenges. They are what motivate my scraping when I'm in a rut or just need a jumping off point.

    One of the things I love about TLP is that things stay current. No status quo dust accumulating here. So thank you for more and varied challenges! Would love to see a Lyric challenge with lyrics choice open. :D

    I didn't get to play along this time - life and stuff. However, I look forward to playing along next time.

    I enjoyed looking at them, haven't done nary a one either though.
    Exam time is hectic in this household.

    I'm a bit late for the party, have been dealing with extremely serious family health issues... But I happened to spot these a few days ago and have done two so far. Good for the soul...

    I love them! It's the perfect excuse to "have" to scrap this time of year that I desperately need! I completed a couple of them and plan to finish the rest this weekend. :agree

    I'm still working thru them all but definitely keep doing them! They are keeping me scrapping after I've finished the monthly challenges. :)

    I make them all! Completely hooked! I just have a concern(marigold) of translation and sometimes I get lost in the meanders of the forum but well! I like very much the diversity of challenges

    I enjoyed them and am looking forward to next month's challenges. They sometimes had me scratching my head as to how to approach but after a bit I usually found inspiration and I know I created layouts I wouldn't otherwise have done. And since the may or may not ever get printed, it was a fun playtime to expand my horizons.

    Thanks to all who designed and hosted them.

    I really like them, didn't have much time this month but the themes were great and you really can't have enough challenges like @EHStudios said. I would love it if they focus on a theme, which sets them apart from the monthly challenges.
