Brrrrrrr. November is chilly here! And it’s flying by me too, how did it get to the 19th already?
Still, heres a great excuse to sit inside and do some scrapping!
The Challenge-
Checkin’ it twice- write your journaling in a list style.
Well Santas not the only one making lists around here! This weeks challenge is all about the list. I heart lists!!
This is a super easy way to get inspired journaling as so many subjects fit easily into list form. What about 3 good things from today? 10 things that drive you crazy? Your last shopping list, meal planner, itunes selection, or pile of good books? What about reasons to be cheerful? An appropriate time of year for that one! 
The good the bad and the ugly? Early resolutions? Aims and goals?
Heres my page, I’m just starting to feel Christmassy and I’m so glad:) Thought I’d make a page about what silly little things get me feeling festive every year..

Theres plenty of ways to set out a list too; you don’t have to just number them like I did. You could use bullet points, check boxes, random placing of text around your page, little journal strips… we’ve got some great things in store for this too!
Check out Katie’s ledger grid brushes – great check boxes! or make it super easy on yourself with the cool checklist brushes!
Anna has a great set of overlays with lists and numbers on to start your page off, and youre stuck for prompts these listmakers could help! All the counting trash range would work, especially these edgers here. And I think this template could of been made for this challenge dont you?
Hope you’ll feel inspired to create a page or two for this challenge!
And I look forward to seeing what you come up with for the Just my Type Gallery!

Buzzing right along to week 2 of the speed challenge!

Looks like a number of you have gotten off to a good start too! The 10 weeks 2 Treasure gallery has some great books in it!

You won’t want to miss Patricia’s beautiful baby pages in her book

And Mollie’s got a playful book started too!

And there are many more to check out in the gallery!

I’ve completed another 3 months so I’m half way through my book—hard to believe! Doing these pages now has been so much easier than waiting because the memories and events are still fresh in my mind. And going back through all the pictures is reminding me of so many pictures I still need to and want to scrap—it’s been a great project for me and I hope it has for you too!

Heidi, Paula and Bonnie had lots of fun this week lifting a wonderful layout by Linda (aka earlofoxford).

A classic, eye-catching color scheme and a strong yet simple design. I love the layering - both of the photo and papers and also of the text for the title.

Check out the layouts inspired by Linda’s page (and if YOU feel inspired, don’t forget to share with us in the Saturday Scraplift Gallery!)
