We made it!!! Thirty-one straight days of scrapbooky goodness--whew! I'm so proud of everyone playing along. I would love to hear your page counts! And which of the inspiration layouts were your favorites.
Final page count for the month? Drum roll, please!!! ...tada!
counting today's pages below...
...57!
WOW! No wonder I'm tired!
Fitting to celebrate that total with a sparkly celebration page!
This adorable pink, mint green and blue Christmas color combo is too cute! I usual head for more serious religious Christmas cards, and they tend to use more sober and simple color schemes, but for holiday scrapbook pages, anything goes! Bring on the bling, crazy textured ribbons, and non-traditional combos.
Supplies used were the Whimsy & Wonder paper pack, the FREE Sale-A-Bration Be Dazzlin' silver cardstock, and the stocking stamps & dies from the Tidings & Trimmings bundle.
Wow! Well, I can't say I'm sorry August 2021 is over... I've got a busy fall ahead of me, whipping the new studio into shape for classes. But I've really missed cardmaking! And Sept first we start our first Christmas cards of the year!
Thanks for joining me for this challenge--I've loved interacting with scrapbookers all over the world, and giving back to this lovely community of inspiration in some small way.
Shall we finish with one last giveaway? I've got a free pack of Be Dazzlin' glitter cardstock with YOUR name on it! If you're the lucky one drawn, of course : ) Winners announced in the next newsletter issue. US only, please--leave a comment and let me know if you think 31 Pages in 31 Days is better in August or should be moved to July. I'd love your opinion! Thanks everyone!
I personally do more scrapping in July, but would do my best in August.

Thank you so much for all you have done for this challenge. I love the idea. I got a lot done-44 pages counting July and August—but most of all, I got lots of ideas and tips.

Hi Lyssa. If I had any say in it I would love you to do your 31 pages in 31 days EVERY MONTH!! haha Since I found out about it from my upline Angie Leach last year, I saved all your previous years for inspiration and anxiously awaited this August to arrive! Seriously, I think August is a great month for it. Thank you so very much for continuing to provide such amazing inspiration. Wishing you the best with your new studio and the fun times your local folks will be enjoying with you. I will continue to follow you for your cards as they often can be incorporated in my scrapbook pages! Many thanks :)

Hi! I enjoy viewing your series every year. I don’t scrapbook anymore, but like all of the ideas. I have a slight preference for August over July, although it doesn't really matter to me. Thank you for all you do and good luck with the studio.

I loved the layouts this year, you had a great variety of occasions to scrap about. Personally, I never have much time to scrapbook in the summer and would love to have it moved to Jan, Feb or March. but I will follow along no matter when you do it.

I think August is better than July! I really enjoyed your projects!
