    Oh! I feel SO torn about this challenge. I am not at all sure I will be able to complete 31 pages without burn out and creative shutdown, plus fitting in everyday life. How do you all do it? Should I register even though I will probably not be able to complete? Feedback appreciated :) Thanks in advance :)

    Absolutely you should register (but im totally biased). It doesn’t matter if you don’t finish. Maybe only a couple challenges will spark your interest, but maybe you’ll get inspired by the excitement and hoopla around here and finish and then you’ll get the great reward at the end too!

    This will be more 4th MOC. I think I always finish because I'm determined to. :D Maybe it helps that I read the challenge first thing every morning. Then, even though I probably can't scrap first thing in the morning, I can at least be thinking about it. I also never got more than a couple of days behind. Except last January when I went on a 7 day vacation during which I could not scrap; the weekend after I returned home I caught up on all those pages!

    I see you signed up. Nothing to lose by signing up, and even if you only make a few pages, that's better than none! Have fun!

    Last year was my first year and it was quite a challenge but I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to see what this year brings.

    Now to remember how to post things.

    I'm not sure if I'll have enough time this year, but I'm going to try. I've completed it every year so far... and it's what keeps me scrapping :)

    debating about registering as my 6 yr old pc died ( pretty sure it was motherboard or power supply) - think hard d rive is okay but cant access it. checked the store and downloads are no longer available.

    been using my laptop past few months but hard drive is very small - hubby is building me new pc but is having problems .

    Does the gift cert from 2018 expire at the end of the year? Does anyone know? :)

    Registering isn't a commitment, so you have nothing to lose! I've done MOC 3 or 4 times. Most of those years I did the challenges that inspired me and that I had time for. I didn't earn a gift card, but I still got 5 or 10 layouts done and had fun participating. Last year was the first year I actually finished all 31. I went into MOC expecting to do my usual 10 or so, but the stars happened to align right (or something!) and completing all the MOC challenges helped me get over the scrapping slump I'd been in for months. My advice is to register but not put pressure on yourself. Scrapping is supposed to be fun--do whatever amount of MOC keeps it inspiring and fun for you, whether that ends up being 1 layout or all 31.

    I am registered but this will be my first time. Is there some where I can read rules from past MOCs so I can see what I just got myself into, lol? I like to be prepared as best I can.

    I will help you...here are some fun things to read. The most important rule, have fun...
    but seriously, each day a new challenge is posted. YOU have ALL month and a few days to complete..but staying up to date is helpful. You will learn and laugh and be overwhelmed with love in the gallery. This when our little scrapping pad becomes ever so close!
    Our blog is full of great helps for the MOC, and here are a few to browse (cough cough, I am posting one Thursday too!)
