Challenges for July

If you are in the United States, Happy 4th of July!

The brightest day that ever shown on earth, 

The day that Liberty received her birth. 

—William Emmons (1788-1834)

I have worked the first 3 challenges at OScraps for July.  I like to do them in order.  It's like being able to check off a task on your ToDo list for me.  Anyone else like that?

Welcome to July!

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that 2026 is half over already!  Can you?

With a new month comes new challenges and you can find July's challenges HERE.

I haven't done any of the challenges yet.  I've been working feverishly on miscellaneous pages from the couple of months I took off.  I'm working on May right now.

Catch Up!

I took a couple months off from scrapping duties when real life got really real, LOL!  Well, things are beginning to clear up and get back to normal.....whatever that means!  I'm sure you can agree with me!  Anyway, I've been trying to catch up on my scrapping pages so I could get them sent to Persnickety Prints and get the first half of the year printed.  I wanted to have them done by today.....that's not going to happen.  I'll just keep plugging along at them!
