Can we do this again ? ? ?

I don't think we could cope with MOC twice a year, but I agree that the heat of summer makes MOC not so much fun.
This year I used the aircon - a lot and worked early morning or evening. I think that experiencing summer MOC is tougher, and explains my empathy in previous years - even though I have completed 3.

 

Oh my brain can not wrap around being warm right now. I have a little heater on the floor under my desk, to keep the chill off when I sit for long scrapping periods. Me? I would love MOC s. But there is a lotta work before and after, so can't see it happening......but there are some and different things being planned too.

 

I'm so glad you came when you did so you know about it for next year!

You could do the monthly challenges in 1 week and pretend it's a mini MOC.

 

there are a lot of checklists too for every month to take a special picture, you could use it for scrapbooking to... but ok... you don't get a reward for it, except full photobooks, so thats a plus!
Maybe 'a list a month' can be a topic, without asking much/anything from the polly's and admin?
Here I'm covered with blankets, so it's a great time to hold a MOC ;-), but I understand you... in summertime we have the fun and the rest of the year I can scrap about it!

 

You could also do the MOC as time and weather permits. I think they keep the threads here, you could come do one a day just like MOC for the month of July or something @A-M

 

@A-M for the ones you do finish by the deadline, you can still win a prize. Each day of the MOC there is a winner from the challenges.. so that is exciting too for those that cannot finish all of the challenges. I like the idea of doing the MOC at your leisure after the fact down the road. You still get the fun of doing the challenges and learning in the process.

 

I'd love a summer (mid-year) week of challenges. I know any challenge is a lot of work never mind multiple challenges. BUT I'd love to see something on a smaller scale!

 

I am rather excited about get skinny with me check out the art journAl forum...hope some of you come play with me.

 

I wanna get skinny with you Anne - AJ and in real life. lol

 

^^^that's what I was going to suggest! It's so nice how all of the monthly challenges (except for BYOC, cuz that depends on release date) are posted on the same day.
On the other hand, you could do like 1 or 2 challenges per week to just stretch those scrapping muscles and to prolong the fun of monthly challenges. Either way, I think it's awesome how much fun TLP plans for us each and every month!

 

Oh @A-M I am excited to hear this, I have some fun techniques and "exercises" to help build our scrapping muscles to. Think scrap pump!

 

I like the ring of, "A page a day for the month of May."

Not that I'm expecting anyone to host it, proctor it, or give prizes for it. But I might take that challenge on for myself. It's enough rest between now and May that I might be up for more daily scrapping by then.

 

Glad you got to experience some of this years' MOC (and yep, I've moved to the air-con'd lounge room in previous years just to get me through - i can't imagine doing it in the cold with stiff joints though)
From memory, there has been a "Xmas in July" or 'Summer School" - a week or two of fun stuff and challenges during the Aussie winter.... there's never a dull moment here really (i've never finished all the designer challenges and the normal challenges here in a month myself!)

 

There's always next year's MOC to come play along with. Plus, we always have fun and hoopla coming and going around here.

 

Anne- excited to see your new art journal challenge. I'll be checking it out for sure. Today's challenge (arches) is really great. The pages are really shining in the gallery.

Editing to add- yes, there is always a lot going on here! I'm getting spoiled.
