Can you believe this is our 7th year of Scrappin' Goal Challenge?! We sure completed an AWESOME number of pages together in 2009 through 2014 and I'm looking forward to MORE Scrap pages together in 2015! Let's keep scrappin'.
It was SO fun to chat about and see everyone's pages, goals and ideas for completing LOTS of scrapbook pages in 2015! Many had a common theme - get more pages done, use what's in our stash, meet new scrapping friends, plan time/crops...
What fun we'll have sharing ideas, cheering success, keeping the motivation and making new friends. Our scrap goal isn't all about getting pages done, it's also about enjoying the process! Please feel free to join at any time!
Here's the CHALLENGE. Each person can share their page goals, pages and ideas. for those of use who like Annual Goals, we will have a better shot at meeting our yearly goal if we break it down by month.
*In this thread, we track our monthly goals. We find it helps us keep getting pages done which is good for all of us.
You choose your own scrapbook page goal and monthly spend goal. You may select 2, 3, 5, 50 pages....you choose. The idea is to be flexible so if you know you're going to be really busy, you can reduce the number one month or if you're going to a couple crops or scrap weekends, up the number. This also works for the budget. Each month, you can change your goals depending on your calendar!
The whole goal of the challenge is to get lots of pages done all the while enjoying sharing with Virtual Friends.
Are you UP for the CHALLENGE? Come and Play in the 2015 Scrapbook Challenge! Here's to Meeting our Scrapping Goals & Meeting New Friends!
We'd love to "oohh" and "aahh" over your pages so please post with key word "sbc15feb"

Hmmm - since I fell short last month AND I want to try and keep up with current stuff as well as play catch up AND I am getting a Cricut explore next week and I am starting a monthly scrapping group at my house AND I have a new grandbaby...HAhahhaha! Ok I am going to reach and aim for completing 10 pages this month!
I did 16 pages in January toward my yearly goal of 52, one a week. But I'm involved in a few more card making commitments now, so I'll set a monthly goal of 5 for February, but hoping I'll get more done.
My new goal is 10 for the month of February. That recalculates my annual total to 123 pages. So far my YTD total is 13.
Looking forward to the fun and fellowship with all of you.

Us Too JoyceAnn, HAPPY February! I have everyone updated for their monthly and annual totals so far! How Fun!
Several pages started, just need to get some of them finished. We're snowed in here, we did go out and plow/shovel (well, and I took picts, LOL) but it's still coming down
Getting Ready for the Big Game .... I'll be scrapping

I used to wonder what was up with scrappers who only did one or two layouts a month, but now I totally get it! Life as a mama of 4 is super busy. :( Only three layouts done in January, so I guess I have to up it to five in February in order to keep my four a month goal going. Here's my first layout for February:
Woohoo I am off to a good start! My daughter had a surprise playdate so I had all afternoon to myself and spent it in my studio. Another simple layout with lots of pics. I used cricut die cuts on this one.

Despite leaving the job I still didn't have enough time in January to get any pages done. :( However, I have nothing to do tomorrow except for laundry so I am spending the day scrapbooking!!!
I've been pretty busy lately so I haven't been able to check in as much as I would have liked to but, I caught up on the new posts and am gearing up for a new month!
We have THREE Stash Buster Hall of Fame Inductees: Crooked Stamper (LouAnn), Princessp1971 (Patti) and Annie Panda (JoyceAnn)! Congratulations!!
We had 24 NEW layouts in January, with three Newcomers: NerdyBeth (Beth), Cerridwen (Marti), and Whippetgirl (Lee Ann). It was great to see all the layouts and thank you to everyone who participated last month!
YEAH ME!!! I spent 1/2 the day in my craft room & it was wonderful. I am a slow scrapper regardless but I managed to finish my Jan Scraplift challenge .
Cheryl, I have been editing pictures for my next several layouts. I went through my Pinterest board of sketches to pick something out for the ones I am doing now. I noticed later when I looked close that it is an old one of yours! From 2012. I will let you know when it's complete!

Life is good...
Happy Feburary Everyone!
Starting out this month a lot better than last month...
New Calling at Church ---- 2nd Councilor / Secertary in Relief Society
Favorite Team won the Super Bowl ---- Yeah Patriots
Back in Training for my 5ks ---- Who is running with me this year?
Getting my Craft Corner reorganized --- Make-Over Monday starts today!
So other than Groundhog Phil's need for six more weeks of Winter sleep this morning, I see a great month ahead...
I reached all my goals for January, but due to really slow internet here, I can't seem to upload any photos without timing out. I am hoping to figure that all out soon.
I am going to set my goals for the same this month.... 15 pages and/or projects.

I had a very productive "What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday" today... I was able to go through some more of my boxes and create my new crafting corner. feels good to have an organized spot to gell. The two new wall hanging calendar and things to do is one of the altered projects that I completed during my January goals.
Anavon, such a sweet and neat work station! So happy for you.
Cerridwan, and new toy - how exciting! Hope you get lots and lots of use out of it.
And Mary Pat, glad you got some scrap time in; know what you mean about being a slow scrapper - me too. Frequently I have let my page sit at least over night sometimes two. Today I finished two - 15 hours out on the table thou.

Has it been that long since I checked in?? Whew a busy month already. I will set my goal for the month at 20. I have a three day crop in a couple of weeks but it is a crop that I do as much talking as I do cropping so I may not get as many LO's done as I plan.
Last month I did 26 with 4 done so far for February.
I'm headed downtown Cleveland to watch a gymnastics session my son is Coaching. I always try to go at least once a year ... it's fun, brings back lots of memories of when he was competing :o
I have so many page ideas marked and photos picked I should have 20 pages done already this month and for some reason my MOJO has left the building ....sigh. Hoping it's back this afternoon .....
Happy Saturday

The latest sketch challenge is posted. Sorry I didn't get it up yesterday. I've had it ready for a week but was working on stuff for a card workshop yesterday and totally forgot to post the sketch. Hope you enjoy it!

Another AWESOME Sketch Cheryl! :o
I did find Inspiration tonight to get some Valentines done ... hoping tomorrow it works for scrapping. Had a great time at the gymnastic meet and now for some rest and relaxation on Sunday.

Hello and Happy Monday!
The sun is shining here for the first time in a while! Yay!! Had a quiet weekend, didn't get too much scrapping done, but I did make a few cards.
Hope to get some serious scrapping done this week and weekend (as my DH is going out of town)!
In the meantime, here's week 2 Stash Busters requirements.
Hope you can play along.
I've enjoyed everyone's layouts! Hope to get caught up on my challenges this week! Have a happy one!
