August 2026.....Already???

WOW! This year has/is just zipping by in a flash at lightning speed!

Today begins the new challenges for the month of August 2026 at Oscraps! I am hosting the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #5. And since I am hosting, I already have a sample done. Here's how the challenge works.....

I have created a board of 3 columns and 3 rows. The challenge is to, in tic-tac-toe form, select a row or column, or a diagonal "row" of preferred elements to use in the page you scrap. I chose to do an ATC card for my sample.

Here's the Tic-Tac-Toe "board" we are using this month.....

I created an ATC (2.5" x 3.5") and used the 3rd column of items: word strip (adventure), brush (woman), flower. I added some other brushes and the journal element ..... all on a background paper. Here's what I came up with:

You can read all about it in the August Challenge #5 - Tic-Tac-Toe thread. There you will find all the instructions. I hope you will join me this month!

When I have been away from home, the sight of this beloved knob is a sweet relief because I know the long trip is about to come to an end and I will enjoy a sweet sleep in my own bed this night! Yes, “There’s no place like home,” Dorothy! 5/4/26

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?
