Hello everyone! It’s Polly Karen here and I’m can’t believe that I’m actually writing about the halfway point for the Month of Challenges already! January is flying by thanks to the fun I’m having playing along with all these fabulous challenges! For both newbies and veterans to our MOC (Month of Challenges) it can be a little crazy to try to fit in a whole new scrapbook page every single day of the month. I’ll let you in on a little secret though… I’m not caught up on the challenges myself. Do I let that worry me? Nope! I am still planning on completely every single challenge, but some days I just don’t have the time or sometimes I need to think about what I want to create for a specific challenge. I think that is totally okay and nothing to stress out about. This is supposed to be fun, so don’t let yourselves get stressed… unless of course that kicks your mojo into high gear! A few days ago, there was a thread in the forum about whether everyone was completely their challenges in order or not. I am in the camp of not completely them in order. I have to work on what moves me and I figure as long as I get them all done, who cares what order they are in. The organization police aren’t going to come knocking on your door, I promise!
Now in order to encourage you a little bit, I thought it would be fun to pick out a few pages that other scrappers have completed for the first batch of challenges. Since there are a gazillion amazing pages in the gallery already, I had tons to choose from. Enjoy and let your creative mind feed on the beauty of our members!

Phew! I just want to tell you how HARD it was to only pick one from each challenge! I could have done this every hour on the hour since January started! I sure hope this inspired you as much as it did me! All I want to do now is scrap, scrap, scrap! :)
