First Time Finisher?

One page to go and I'll be a first-time finisher/participator. MOC has been so awesome to focus on scrapping for a change! I even pushed it and completed a scrapbook for my husband for his birthday yesterday using one of the pages I made this month for MOC. It is a Halloween book through the years with our kids. I don't think I would have done that if I wasn't in the scrapping mindset MOC has put me in.
Thank you Lily-pad for the fun month of challenges!! I didn't think I'd actually be able to complete them all when I started but figured anything I got done was a bonus that I would not have done otherwise. I'm thrilled I got 31 (after today) pages done!!! Happy dance!! Woot Woot.

 

My first year, I just stumbled upon MOC...but staying and participating throughout the year, you could definitely see and feel the excitement building the closer Jan 1 got! It really gets you pumped up!

 

CONGRATS!

 

This my first time participating in MOC and I loved it! It has helped me make decisions so much more quickly as well as try a few things/techniques that I have never done before. Not to mention that I have 31 new pages scrapped!

 

@Lena Gardner and everyone finishing their first MOC congrats!!!!!!!!

 

I'm a first time finisher too. So happy to have completed this year, I always start off well and then get side tracked later in the month.

This year I was determined. So much so, the last layout was completed and uploaded about an hour and a half before I went in for my section to deliver my twins (who are both healthy and perfect).

I guess I learnt no matter what I have going on I can make time for scrapping if I really want to. If I could scrap a page this morning, pretty sure I can fit it into my schedule a little more regularly. It actually helped to calm me down a lot when I couldn't sleep, so thank you for posting early!

 

I am a first time finisher this year.
Last year I came along too late to try and catch up and do all challenges so I only did a few.

 

I'm a first time MOC-er and a first time finisher. I don't like all my layouts. I had to scrap too quick for some due to limited time, but I'm glad I finished. I do have layouts I love very much.

 

Meeeeeee! And I only decided to participate on the 12th... *lol* This has actually been really good for me. It's been a looooong time since I've been a dedicated scrapper, and this made me realize how much I missed it. My style has definitely evolved over the years!

 

That is awesome.. we are so glad to have you with us. I hope you will stay with us too.. The Lily Pad is an awesome place! So glad you had fun with all of the challenges and you are right, the Polly's are awesome with hosting the challenges and helping everyone. New monthly challenges starts today.. and the fun here all month the other 11 months of the year are fabulous too. Come to the chats ... we have a blast there! So glad you enjoyed!!

 

Yay Lynn!!!

 

I finished too my layouts. What I learnt: no need to be scary about journaling. I always struggle with giving my layouts a text. So these where my real challenges. Sometimes I read the instructions of a challenge and thought "oh no...." and was frustrated because they were not mine at all. But at the end, those were the best challenges for me, because I saw I can....thanks to the team of lilypad for all the hard work , for your ideas and that you made this possible

 

That is dedication!! Congratulations on the twins!! Hope to see lots of photos of them in the gallery!!

 

well done everyone.

This is my first MOC, and I've just finished.

 

This year was my first time participating, and I am so happy to have done all 31 challenges! In the past I didn't enter because I was afraid of not being able to keep up (wimp!), but in fact this year I found it not too hard to make all the layouts - and I have scrapped much more than I normally do. So I'm super happy!
Congrats to my fellow first-time finishers!

 

Now THAT is dedication to finishing! I love this story... and huge congratulations on your twins!

 

Huge congratulations to all of the first time finishers! Isn't it just the best feeling ever?
