    The thing I most dread is just making pages that I'll never use - since I have limited time for scrapping it's painful to feel like I'm wasting time. Yes, I know it really isn't wasting time - just engaging in something creative and artistic is important - but it can feel that way. So, some of the single photo pages or art journaling stuff are tough for me since I am a PL scrapper and probably won't print those. I might go back and revise some of those pages after the fact.

    Day 6!! I’m a total newbie so I’m gearing up to tackle that on a day that I have time to try and work though it. We also have thrown in an unplanned 5 day trip into the month to see the Vikings play in Philly tomorrow so I’m a little worried worried about catching up. Now that I think on it, I’d better go back to Day 6 first thing I get home on Tuesday.

    LOL and thanks for your generous offer! My husband, daughter and son-in-law will be at the game tomorrow but I have the best job of all... staying with our great grandbaby. And I’ll definitely be cheering for whichever team wins tomorrow in the Super Bowl. 3 of us graduated from NDSU and have been following Carson Wentz closely. :agree

    Especially because I'm way behind and I feel like I cannot catch up (I probably will, but the feeling stays), I'm not looking forward to the technique challenges. I like to try things when I have the time. But I just don't right now...

    I'm up for combining 3 templates but making it a clean and simple page sounds like a most challenging of challenges!

    I am not truly dreading any page or challenge, but the page I just finished for day 11 was so much harder to journal than I thought it would be. I cried and cried writing it... It took me several hours to make it right. I had no idea how much raw emotion was still in that story, nearly 5 years later.

    Well to begin with, I always dread @AnneofAlamo challenges because they are usually something that I have never done before. But.... good for me, she was early in the month this year! (Although it was a doozy!)

    Then there is the double page layout challenge that we seem to have each year but I don't dread it either because... err... I did one voluntarily already.

    I am not fond of journaling challenges usually because I am not typically a verbose writer but this year, they have been no problemo!

    I guess probably what I dread for the upcoming challenges is another technique challenge on the level of the dispersion. I didn't like my results and I had to watch 3 more tutorials to even get what I got.

    And more than anything, I dread the inevitable messages telling me I need to correct a layout (or 2 or 3).

    Or Do the hocky pocky while you scrap, print everything out and make a hybrid layout, or particularly dastardly, write all your journaling in iambic pentameter! :flirty:rofl

    ME TOOOOOO! I have been told I would embellish a telephone pole if I were allowed. Umm, yeah! I would!!! C&S bores me to near tears. I don't feel creative doing them. BUT we did!
    I WISH there would be and Art Journal challenge page for MOC6...but not holding my breath. :carryon

    Don't be so afraid. We did say that we were going to mix things up a bit this year, so maybe not all of your fears are even going to happen. :flirty

    I’m both anticipating and dreading art journal.
