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 "sbc15may"

I completed 13 pages in April. Yay! Feels so good to be scrappin again. I won't be able to set a goal for this month because we are going on a 3 week trip. First a 2 week cruise and then Iceland. Gonna be AMAZING!! So, I have to put away all my fun scrappy stuff and use the room to stage for packing.
I would like to finish 2 art canvases for my daughters room before then, so if I get those done, I will be happy. If I have any extra time, I might complete a couple layouts I've put aside to finish up, but I'm not going to stress about it if they don't.
I've been waiting for this trip for a year - can't wait to relax (and not have to cook!).

Happy National Scrapbooking Day! Wow! Where did April go??? I'm going to set a very small goal of 4 this month. I don't think I did more than that last month:(
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :p

Hello! I hope you are all having a wonderful scrappy day! I have a 2 page spread all laid out from last weekend and hopefully will get that taped down today. I have a year's worth of photos to organize which I started last night (that wasn't the plan but going with the flow:rolleyes. I am hoping to get to the VSBN challenges in between today's craziness
I hope to see everyone in the VSBN threads--they'll be going on the whole month this time!
I don't always find time to do VSBN, but with an entire month, I know I'll be able to participate more!
I do hope more people get to play along! We're trying the "month long" format to see if it brings more entries. It's off to another slow start but hopefully it will pick up by month end.
I'm [ON VACATION] and after a walk at the beach this morning, I'm sitting on the veranda enjoying the sunshine and putting the finishing touches on a page before I'm off to see family
Today is my 27th Wedding Anniversary ... whew, so many memories

Happy anniversary! Hope you get spoiled
I would normally be all over the VBSN - especially since it is all night long, but it just didn't work out for me this month because of all that we have going on. Next one, for sure

I'm planning to do several of the VSBN challenges. Since I scrap chronologically, not all the challenges will fit the winter pictures I'm currently doing, but I have a few layouts earmarked for the challenges!
congrats on your anniversary Lela! This is a beautiful thing to share so many years together. Good for you, and many blessings to come as well.
April was a complete wash, but I have started May with two pages. I hope to go beyond my goal, but for now I'm aiming for another 5. Spring colors - A Mother's Love ( pictures of granddaughter and great granddaughter) Great granddaughter Hangin' with her Popi

Just uploaded the 4 paper pages I made last night, and updated my signature. I realized I have a bunch of my son's photos that need 8x11 pages, which is how I started scrapping for him. I switched him to 12x12 books in 2010....if that tells you anything. Yikes! Chalk Hands Beach 1st Grade Ends
Hoping to check the gallery later today!!

Ok, I fell off the face of the planet for a while there ;) It's busy here since we're about to start packing up to move next month, but I'm hoping to get a little scrappin' done first. I actually hit my annual goal last month, I just haven't uploaded pages here yet. No official goal for May, I'll be happy with whatever I get done! And then once we get settled in the next house, I'll be back to making baby books again...another one of my friends is having twins
Off to go work on some layouts now...and I'll be wandering the gallery and commenting when all our stuff is packed up and I can't work on anything else, haha!
I am SO happy about my progress this month! MDS is retiring at the end of the month plus VSBN and that's really kicked me into gear! So I got another page done last night and I just uploaded it: Mother's Day 2015
I've visited the gallery a little bit and need to get back there...!

Retiring? How are you going to do your scrapbooking?
I KNOW!!!!! lol.....
The program still runs, I just can't order more downloads thru Stampin' Up! nor print thru Stampin' Up! and there will be no tech support but so far (since 2009) that isn't an issue. I think I'm going to try printing with Persnickety, and there have been a few suggestions as to what digital program will work similarly to MDS. But since I know Stampin' Up! printing gives me a true color result, I'm cramming, haha....
