Riley works one day a week at our local library in the Kids Read To Dogs program. He takes his job very seriously, as you can see.

He had to pass a Canine Good Citizen test in order to be approved for the program, which wasn't really a hard thing for him because he's such a well behaved dog anyway. He adores kids, and they love him back in equal measure.

They always ask when they come in, "Is Riley here?" and I have to say, "Is it THURSDAY?"

Done for several challenges this month ~

#1. Scraplift the Person Before You. I followed Lyn, and I absolutely adored her recent layout "Mini Monsters" which you can see here.



#2. Leftovers Challenge. This one is a serious trick to play because the rule is "you can't use anything new on your project - not even a new sheet for the background. Everything has to come out of your used scraps box. I just grabbed that box and started digging. I was looking for some very specific things because I wanted to stack this particular challenge with two others ...

#3. The 5 things challenge, which this month required ~ an ampersand, flowers, yellow/gold, hexagons, and the word You. Pulled it off, but it was touch and go for a while because I also wanted to make it work for my

#4. AGC Weekly - which is a This or That challenge. Once you choose one thing, you can't use the other thing. At one point, I had built a brown frame around things but realized that I couldn't use it because I had chosen Patterned Paper, and therefore could not use Card Stock. Luckily I had cut out the center of this lighter paper to use for another project where I needed a light colored photo mat. I always cut from the middle of papers when I need to cut a fresh sheet of paper so that I have a potential frame for other projects later. I chose green (not blue), flowers (not chipboard), die cuts (not stickers), and stickles (not gems). So it was a fun challenge all round. I had the devil's own time with the title - because I routinely use thickers and other chipboard for those, but I ended up die-cutting the letters from patterned paper, so that worked out great.

The AGC challenge is lots of fun - fast moving with a challenge every day, but you don't have to do them every single day. You can save them and stack them, like I did here - with an ampersand, a clock, and the word FRIEND. I would have loved to have gotten "Play" and felt onto this, but there just wasn't any more room!

5. I also plan to put this in the Scraplift Your Faves. When Lyn posted the Mini Monsters it went straight to my favorites, so it was right then when I started looking for something to lift in that challenge.

If you got this far, thanks for sticking with me. I love to hear your comments, and I really do try to respond to everyone who stops by. If I miss you, it's unintentional, I promise!
