We always have a lot of wacky, crazy fun and it’s a slow scrap for the month of May! Try it out, or just come and relax with us as we travel on our cruise ship.

Hi MariJ, where is the explanation for the World Cruise activity? I don't see a link. I'd like to know what I am getting into first. May is always CRAAAZZZYYY in our huge extended family between birthdays, graduations, first communions, sports, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May is always CRAAAZZZYYY in our huge extended family between birthdays, graduations, first communions, sports, etc. Hi Celestine, the link is above where it says “HERE” but I’ll do it again -- WORLD TOUR LINK. I sure understand busy family months, but you’re never beholden once you sign up - scrappers “fall off” the ship as we cruise depending on what their weeks are like. The game typically is a slow scrap with a layout task every day and a layout completed each week but as we always say - “there’s no layout police” so you can join the fun even if you can’t spend time scrapping. Our “Captain” Valerie usually writes us wild and funny tasks and we all have a grand time pretending we’re on a real cruise - meeting on deck, swimming in the pool --- even occasionally getting into mischief like stealing the nose from one of the Sphinx once when we visited Egypt. It’s loads of fun as we “tour" different parts of the world - you can even give an idea on the thread. You’re always welcome to join in the fun even if you don’t have time to scrap! PS I just noticed that the game really isn’t explained on the link yet - but I pretty much gave you the explanation! You can give an idea and sign up even if you’re not sure, it’s not absolute, just part of the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never traveled outside the U.S., except to Canada, so my jet-setting, cruising, elephant-riding, or hiking experiences in other cultures is utterly nil. Should be fun, though. Plus, I have never done a slow-scrap activity, so that will be a first, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said - you can even just sit on the “deck” and not scrap if you want and we DO go to wild places to it’s always interesting too! I’m so glad you’ll be aboard and of course as you know - questions are always welcome here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatricemi Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hi April- please sign me up. Here's my first layout: Toes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestine Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 So here is my circle design, South Dakota Campsite. It started out as a scraplift from Dady's At the Seaside (saw it, loved it, copied it - and I hope she thinks imitation is the best form of flattery!). Original is scrapped with square photos, but I changed them to circles for the challenge. I think I still might like the squares, so we will see which eventually goes into the photobook!

Grandmadori Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I've completed the third of the monthly challenges, using a blended photo. Wasn't quite sure how to go about it but I think I made it work. So here's #3. Together is a Wonderful Place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmadori Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Here is my fourth of the monthly challenges for April. The Black and white layout with a "pop" of color...I don't know that my color actually pops, but this is still a learning experience for me and Elements. Its Lana heading back to our room after our first day in the parks. She loved her balloon, and really liked the way it cast a shadow.
