    So, I have noticed comments here and there that some of you are afraid of what lies lurking down the road with the challenges. Yeah, me too!!!! Afraid you are going to get smacked right between the eyes with something you can't do, or simply don't like to do??? So what is it??? What is your worse nightmare for a challenge? Or have we already done it???
    Me??? I HATE double pages!!! And I KNOW there must be one lurking somewhere in all those hidden away challenges yet to come!!!! I don't know why I don't like doing double pages; I just don't like them!!!! I find it hard co-ordinating them, and then uploading them the right way. Oh well------bring it on challenge people!!!! I can take it!!! (I think!!!!)

    bhahah...you just do two pages...and say, I'm putting these two together..
    I get nervous on technique challenges...cause I don't follow directions, I like to just go barge thru and then it doesn't work...and I do it again...until I have to focus
    then read, and reread whilst
    doing the challenge...

    @NancyP I'm with you on double pages, they freak me right out. Although because I was behind, I managed to make a double page out of January 11 and January 12. Both fit the challenge for the day. I don't think I'll ever have that luck again...

    Well, @AnneofAlamo already got me with the bazillion photos on one page thing :giggle

    And @NancyP I am totally with you on the double page, even though I do PL every week... which probably doesn't really make sense LOL As long as I could use my PL, I'm fine, but the thoughts of just creating a double page for the heck of it....no, no, no!

    My real dread is the clean and simple, but it is done. Insert cartwheel!

    I don't dread anything about MOC really. The hardest challenges for me are techniques, but I highly value the opportunities to learn something new, so I definitely don't dread those. My least favorite is the clean & simple style, because I never scrap that way on my own. I don't love the filled style either, I just realized today as I did yesterday's challenge, so soon after having done the filled template yesterday. I'm in between. I like to have several photos lightly embellished with lots of journaling. Anyway, I don't dread the simple or filled style challenges either; I just only do it because I want to complete MOC. And I end up loving all my pages.

    Swww, man. Doubles are fun! I hosted last years Double Challenge.... and I thought the pages were beyond awesome! :giggle I love techniques... though I still have to try Jan's. I think I love them, cause I do so many tutorials. i love finding new things to try!

    I usually have trouble if there is AJ pages, Quick Pages and Pocket Pages. :)

    I don't think I'm dreading anything with MOC. I love the challenges. And find the learning fun for the things I don't know. But there are some challenges I just don't look forward to, one being double pages, I just don't do them ever, pretty much only for a challenge. LOL But I can do them and usually end up liking my page alot.

    Dread would be too strong of a word but I know that extractions and double pages take me longer than any other type of page and working full-time means I don't have as much time as I have in MOCs past to devote to scrapping.

    I do, however, have a kid-free weekend in two weeks (wahoo!) that I plan on using to catch up with all of my MOC so I can always save those challenges until then so I have the time to devote to them. :)

    I'm not dreading anything because I'm not participating! However, if I would have participated, I would have been out of here by day 3 (not into mood boards) and if I would have gotten through those 3, day 6 would have been the one to turn me off of MOC completely. As for what hasn't been done that I would have problems with... that would be art journaling, quick pages, pocket pages, and any technique that I can't find a tutorial to do with PSP. Oh, yeah, I hate extractions as well!

    I will say that I am enjoying looking at layouts and have commented on some of them in gallery. There have been a couple that I have completed but not posted (non-TLP kits were used). I just had to do Day 11: On This Day to record my memories on 7/20/69 and what it meant to my small town.

    As I look at the challenges posted so far, there have been 10 that I'd be OK with. But I'm sure that there will be some coming up that are the ACK for me. And, @NancyP double pages are so easy to do... especially if you use some of Liz's templates! I do them as 2 separate 12x12 layouts at the same time.

    Anything requiring a large number of elements has me hyperventilating....... Apart from that I love the variety of challenges which keeps it so interesting right through to the end.

    MOC is too fun to dread anything. :) I've enjoyed every challenge so far, just like I did last year. But I do admit that I'm worried I'll finish all of my pages but forget to post one by the 11:59pm Feb 2 deadline. That's my one MOC "dread," if you will.

    I'm not so much afraid of the challenges as I am the challenges being something I've already done, and then I have to find a way to pull another one of out my, uh, bag of tricks.

    But I will cop to hoping there are no more techniques like dispersion involved :-D
