April Scrappin and Chatter - sbc22apr

[Lmn]

Scrappin' Challenge 2022 Can you believe this is our 14th year of Scrappin' Goal Challenge?!

We sure completed an AWESOME number of pages together in 2009 through 2020 and I'm looking forward to MORE Scrap pages together in 2021! 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 2022! 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 2022 Scrapbook Challenge!

Here's to Meeting our Scrapping Goals & Meeting New Friends! We'd love to "oohh" and "ahh" so please use Key Word sbc22apr

Sharing the Scrappin' Love in February! This is where we'll keep track of our Monthly "goal" - if you have one - and track YTD pages. It's always a great time to keep count and see what we've accomplished by year end!

Happy April to you all!
I am cruising along with my Disney pages! Yesterday I finished three and started two other events. Feeling pretty good about all that actually! So I've set my April goal for 30, which is high, but on days like that, I think I can pull it off. Plus I got 40 done last month! My signature is updated and here are some of the latest from me:

Belle
Tiana
Tinkerbell

[Motherload]

I completed 8 layouts in March, bringing my YTD total to 24. Going to set my goal at 7 again for April.

Leia, so sad you are having heart issues. The not-knowing is devastating for you. Know that I will be praying to our Lord God to keep you safe and to receive the help you need.

Here is a page I finished tonight.

My 1st layout for April! Now I need to print more photos. Looking forward to getting home next month so I'll have a better selection of embellishments.

Pre-Game!

[Shirleysgirl]

I ended up having a pretty poor showing for March with only 3/12 finished.
April goal is 18 so I can double where my YTD is right now. I got a good kick off on that today, but finished too late to take any decent pictures. Hubs is out of town, so hoping to get a bit more done this weekend.

April Goal: 18
YTD 18/125

[Shirleysgirl]

Whoo Hoo! I had a very productive weekend in my playroom. I got 16 pages finished and a couple of collages for a different weekly challenge I am playing in this year. Feels good to be ahead than behind for once this year! I did't upload them all, but quite a few I did. Many are very simple layouts, but done is the part I am after! Ha! All still part of the same FL trip from last May. Even went back and did March sketch challenge I had missed.

[Crooked Stamper]

I have a layout on the table ready to go...only printed 1 picture! Now I just need to get it done then get some others printed!

Lela, how are you feeling!

[Crooked Stamper]

My first 2022 layout! I printed almost 100 photos today so that should keep me busy for a while. We're heading home in 2 weeks so I'll be back in my craft room with my stash & it should be easier to embellish!

Happy New Year!

Hey! I've been getting pages done but not posted. It keeps trying to rain or snow or hail or all of them, lol, so photo taking is tricky. But here are two new Disney layouts! And my signature is updated!

Entrance!

[smadson]

Lela, are you okay? Getting worried, as you haven’t checked in for awhile.

[AnniePanda]

Hi my scrappy buddies! We had a blessed Easter Sunday, hope all of you did also.
I haven't done much, paper wise, but do have a page to share recently finished.

Hi everyone.
Sharon directed me here. I'd like to jump in if I may. Just getting back to scrapbooking. Time to get photos out of boxes, off memory cards and into albums. I'm shooting for 4 layouts for April.

[PMR]

May I join the challenge? I have just finished 2 gift albums and am trying to recommit to scrapping. I’m trying to get through some kits I have purchased.
please let me know!

[daizees]

Welcome Kelly and Pia! Sometimes this group is really chatty, sometimes we're quiet ;) but we love sharing our scrapping and encouraging each other!

[AnniePanda]

Welcome friends!

[PMR]

Thanks, I’ll try to come up with a goal for May. I have been working on Ctmh kits I bought. I haven’t added pictures.

[smadson]

Welcome, Kelly and Pia!

[Crooked Stamper]

Welcome ladies!

[ScrappinCEO]

Thank you for the warm welcome, ladies. I am uploading pictures of the 2-page layout I did last night. I've not put in the title of journaling. Haven't figured out what I want for my title font yet.

I have being quiet, we were in the Fantasy, Disney Cruise last week. I should finish 1 mini scrapbook album Rio de Janeiro from April 2016, started the mini scrapbook this year. Also, this month I made t-shirts for our 9th Disney cruise, of course. Already posted in the gallery the 6 pages for this month.

[pipecaro]

To LMN, Lela,
I do really hope you get better soon!

[Shirleysgirl]

Welcome ladies! So glad you found us! Please jump right in and share your pages.

I am working on last summer pics, so will be lots of lake party pictures since that is pretty much our summers. I am having a personal challenge to myself to dig into my scrap bin for (almost) everything I used today. Feels good to use up old stuff and at least shuffle the stack of scraps.

[PMR]

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I will post pictures as soon as I get my act together! I’m going to start small and set a goal of 6 layouts for May.

[Crooked Stamper]

I thought I'd get 2 more pages done before we head home Tuesday but it's not going to happen. I thought I had it all figured out & I could throw it together this morning. Then I found 2 photos I need to use that didn't fit my plan. So I packed it all away for the trip home! Now I think I have it figured out...LOL. Well I guess I'll just have to throw it together when I get home! Can wait to get back in my craft room with all my stash!
