For the required tasks, tomorrow's will be finishing up the layout started in the last several tasks. It sounds like you've gotten a lot done! I like to say.

"I can do anything, but I can't do everything!" April, that is a really GREAT saying! You're right, I actually did get a lot done and I will start again next week. I normally don't do the Monthly scrapping game because I'm doing other challenges and I am a notoriously SLOW scrapper, but I'll see what I do and who knows? Maybe a layout will emerge! And, honestly, it's ok. I like reading all the comments in the threads, that's what we chatty SGs are all about! 🤣 I don't mind at scrolling through at all. Thanks so much! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I'm "jumping" in a little late, but here goes: Task 1: completed. I just downloaded and backed up all my photos. Thanks, April, for the links to the tasks. that's a great idea and very helpful. Task 2: completed. Here's a photo from last week. The original isn't bad, but I decided to crop it a little so that the bird is more noticeable. I also brightened it slightly. Nothing major, but I like the "after."

I know, to me that's the heart of SG and what we are about and of course I'm one of the chattiest! Heehee - Thanks! I am going to try this week, but I just couldn't start and finish last week's layout, all I had were the photos and edits I think so it felt too overwhelming. I realize this is why I don't normally do the Monthly Scrapping games. Because I do Challenge Chase it's WAY too many pages for this very slow scrapper. 😱 We'll see how this week goes! 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Task 3: completed. I started a layout with my photo. Task 4: completed. I added three papers, (using a template.) Task 5 completed. I added five embellishments - two different flowers, a branch, a berry cluster, and a fern. That's as much as I've gotten done so far. Now to think of a title.....

I will add it later. @mimes1 Hi, Amy: In my journaling I used the generic "he" to describe the bird in my photo, because I had no idea if it's a he or a she. Maybe you know? Also, even consulting my Florida bird book I'm not sure of the species. If you have any info, could you let me know? I'm just curious. Thanks!! We have hawks, ospreys, eagles and more around here and, except for the eagles, I'm pretty much clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Jan 9th Task 8I''m picking one of my new purchases - I bought MFIsh "Masked Memories" Value pack. I'm going to try to keep up this week. I've already finished three Challenge Chase layouts, a recipe card and a Project Life page so I'm not as worried about them and can focus on Jumpstart January. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have hawks, ospreys, eagles and more around here and, except for the eagles, I'm pretty much clueless. @Florida granny Hi Diane, I just studied the bird book and my best educated guess is that the bird in your photo is a Red-tailed hawk. They have the distinguishing dark streaked belly band on the white underneath which your bird displays. Males and females display the same colorations in that species, female may be a little bit bigger. It's hard to say if yours is male or female so generic "he" would be appropriate!
