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 "sbc15apr"

I didn't quite get this one completed yesterday to count for March, but I finished it this morning. I have to admit, that I'm pretty excited that I already have 2 pages done on April first - and that's no joke
I am rather astounded that another month has come and gone! I just counted up my totals and discovered I don't need to update my signature, darnit... Just got 5 done in March, but I am keeping my month goal 12 for April. I have high hopes! ...and...two different pages laid out, begging for attention...!

....I had a good "scrappy" March with lots of pages done ... it was good to have MOJO. I hope it continues in April. I'm excited that I'm going up to see my GF in MI again this weekend and we hope to scrap Saturday so I should be off to a good start getting some pages done
Now to just get another weekend with some time ... I'm sticking with 20 but we'll see if I can get that many done this month

Got a coupon from Kohl's for $20 off a Shutterfly order, so I'm going to try to finish my pages from our 2011 Disney World trip. Lela, I already added my 8 page goal in post #2 above!
Christy, I can't believe your totals! Wow! Fantastic!
On the other hand, I only have 14 done for the year , but not much below my goal is 5 a month. . So this month my goal is higher, because we are taking another trip soon, and I have to finish my Hawaii album! So, my goal this month is 12!
So I have 14 done , and am shooting for 12 in one month!! Can I do it? You all are sure inspiring me with all your high numbers!
Hi all
I can't believe I did not get one layout posted here in March. Yikes, I'm a tad bit behind.
I will set my goal for 16 in April........ here is the first Entrance
Well, I got 20 pages done last month. I'm so glad for the retreat I got to go to. My target for this month is 10 pages. I have a few other crafty goodies to get finished so maybe I can get half what I did last month done in April.
I want to wish all my scrappy friends a blessed and very happy Easter and Passover as we celebrate with our families.
As for my progress during March, I only completed 3 for a total to date of 24. Since I've had trouble meeting my goal of 10 (and that depresses me) I am aiming for 5 instead so maybe I can feel good about myself -;) It's not that I'm not motivated to scrap, it seems more like a lack of organization with my complete life, zapping my time away into wasteland.
Here's to getting back on track!

Where did March go? This year is quickly slipping by and I only have 11 layouts completed YTD. I need to step up my game but I know my life isn't going to get any less busy, so let me try for 5 layouts in April. I managed to get the first sketch challenge for April posted, so please check it out and feel free to play along: Sketch15 Apr1

Make up page kits ahead of time. Pick a sketch, get the photos printed, select papers and embellishments, and slip it all inside a page protector. That way you don't have to take everything to the crop, just your tools like adhesive, cutter, etc. Even if you don't finish working on all the page kits you made, you will still have them to finish when you get home. I usually make up more than I think I'll need so that if I get to the crop and the papers I've selected don't end up working for a particular set of photos, I can just set it aside and work on another kit. HTH.
I'm in 100% agreement with Cheryl, I always make up kits with everything that she said in them. Having a sketch to go by when making up your kit really helps with picking the papers and embellishments before you go!!!
I do similar, I select the photos that I want to scrap and from there pack papers and embellishments that could go with it. I don't pick sketches ahead of time, I usually take my computer or phone and pick when I'm there ....
From years ago when I used to take several bags to now that I just take a couple, I've come along way , LOL.
I'm scrapping with my GF this weekend and I brought 1 box of picts that was a work event and the papers to go with it. I was just going to see if I could use the SCS April 1 Sketch
OH and my advice, HAVE FUN and DON'T STRESS over how many pages you get done there as sometimes just relaxing and chatting are the best part ....

Running a little behind this month because of the holiday, but I am here and ready for another awesome month.
I met my goal of 10 for March so that puts my YTD total at 31
I would like to set my April for another 10, but I am going to be in and out a lot this month.
April is Family History month, so I would like to challenge everyone to do at least one heritage style page or layout sometime during this month. Maybe I will post a Super Saturday Challenge from The Pantry, (like old times) with prizes as the kickoff.... Anyone interested?
Does anyone know if any of the big box places that develop digital prints still can do reprints from negatives? I need to print some photos for my son's mission project and just realized the photos I want are from the days we actually used film! I can't send them out to be developed because the project is due Thursday. Help!

I found some old rolls of film and was able to get some of them processed at one of our Rite Aid Store without sending them out but not sure about negatives. Good luck!!

Last time I needed "film" developed, I went to Sam's Club. Their photo dept was able to do it in a few hours :o
