Hey there, Cherries! I'm a little late in getting this up, but here it is. I will try much harder this year to stay on top of things!
Often times, depending on challenges and schedules, the gallery is jumping with submissions which sometimes means layouts and projects get bumped before really getting noticed. Other times, Cherries are often busy and can't make it to the gallery as often as they'd like. The Layouts of the Week feature will allow us to put some of our Cherries in the spotlight! The rules are simple -- once you've signed up, find your assigned week. At the end of that week, preferably on Monday, post your selections for featured projects. Start your thread in the Layouts of the Week forum. Choose one item from each of the categories listed in the gallery. It is usually Traditional, Digital, Cards and Tags, Planners, General Crafts, and sometimes Photos. Be sure to tell us why you chose the projects for that week. If there is no action in any particular category, then simply skip that section. Please link your choices so that we can go and leave love on them! You may choose a specific week, and you may volunteer for more than one week. Simply let me know!
A few little things . . .
1. DO NOT POST YOUR SELECTIONS DURING your assigned week. If you do, submissions made after your post will be overlooked. Your posted week is for review.
2. Be sure to only post projects that were submitted to the gallery DURING your assigned week. This will help eliminate the possibility of overlapping.
3. We've all been enjoying the LOTW Badges created by Art_Teacher! But, one final note on those: Some Cherries decide to choose a project as an "Honorable Mention", in addition to their primary chosen project. That is fine and you may mention however many you want. But, ONLY THE PRIMARY SELECTION in each category will receive the Badge.
4. Please remember to link your selections! This will allow Cherries to go straight to those layouts to leave love, and will also give Laura (Art_Teacher) an instant link to distribute badges!
Here are the weeks for the first half of the year! I have once again added additional slots to cover the influx of projects that will come into the gallery for NSD Weekend! Once NSD is officially announced, I will get specific dates added to those spots!

OCD is not an adjective. It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized. It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions.

You can put me down for a week in June. That reminds me...I think I was supposed to do the last week of December! I will get to it this weekend!

If you need more volunteers, I can do other March weeks and April (I”m sure I can do other months but waiting to see what my work travel schedule looks like)

Can I sign up for a couple of the past weeks that haven't been done yet? I love being prodded to look through the gallery (sometimes I get so busy, I only post and forget to leave comments). I can do 3 or more!


Now I am back home I can help with this. I can do Apr 13-19. And June 1-7.
