Can you believe this is our 6th year of Scrappin' Goal Challenge?! We sure completed an AWESOME number of pages together in 2009 through 2013 and I'm looking forward to MORE Scrap pages together in 2014! 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 2014! 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 2014 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 "sbc14jul"

Just checked to see if anyone completed all four weeks of the Stash Buster Challenge: We had five participants for the month, so no Hall of Fame mention, but I would like to thank everyone who played along. I had fun preparing the challenges and seeing the layouts everyone created!
Lela, I completed 14 pages for June, my YTD is 53 pages (zero for May). I'm hoping to keep my mojo in July, so I'll set my goal for 16 pages!
Hoping to kick off the month with a couple of pages this morning!

Set my goal at 13 this month. I missed by 4 last month but it was a very hectic month. We had 2 new great grand-sons born ( Mathew and Bently) and yes they are adorable and I had a very sick sister. Hopefully July will be a calmer month. 0/13 for July

Hello, hello! It was a WAY busier June for me too! :eek: Whew, did not see that coming. But July (hopefully) is looking better for crafting time. I'm off to catch up on the Stash Challenges (Ann) as those were on my list and any others missed ... it's all good
I hope to get 30 done this month. Funny, I thought I would scrap less this year as I just saw a lot going on however, if I get these pages done, I'll have made my goal. I guess I way under-estimated how many pages I thought I would finish

It's been a long time since I've done any scrapping but I've got a lot of "stuff" behind me so I'm back!! I'll set a goal of 10 pages for July since we're going to the CKC Lancaster Scrapbook Convention later this month.
I'm going to pass on the July Scraplift because I owe someone from (I think) March. I'll figure out the month & who I owe so I can get that done too.
Hi, I have been MIA for a few months now. I am still on track for the year with a couple ready to post for July as soon as I glue on the titles.
Thank you for the inquiries ladies, I was "found" on another site scrapping away. I had gotten lazy by not keeping up with both sites and will see if I can do better. It is great to see your faces again.
June turned out to be crazy for me so I didn't get much completed scrappy-wise, but I guess 7 layouts is better than none! YTD I'm at 72. For July, I am setting my goal really low (at least for me) with only 5 layouts. Until all four kids are in school again, my scrappy moments must be stolen, so I'm getting off the computer and scrapping while I have the chance. The July Picture Is Worth 1000 Words challenge is posted.

I have 120/200 done for the year.
16 is my goal for this month.
So glad to see you, Sharon!!! I have missed you! I look forward to seeing your pages again! We have a lot more challenges since you have been here. You will have to check them out.
Thanks Sharon, it's good to see you too!!
As soon as I remember how to link from the gallery I will post a couple here.
Trying now, but in case I get it wrong......
Hello Everyone!
Stash Busters Week 1 is posted. I haven't had a chance to finish my layout (today is my Anniversary) so as soon as I can, I'll get it posted! In the meantime, if you'd like to play along, here's the link:

Happy4th,everyone! We are watching Macy's 4th, hoping to see our son on TV in the crowd. Haha. Anyway, he's there somewhere!
that would be FUN! Amazing music and fireworks, it was neat to see on TV. I saw a fun local display but nothing like that ;) Still a great celebration to remember "freedom isn't free".
Everyone have a FUN 4th Celebration? I've had a super crafty weekend. I've done scrap pages and lots of cards since it's OWH Virtual Card Making Party. Off to finish my July Scraplift, I just finished a stash page. I decided I was going to grab a box of photos and whatever was in the box, that's what I was going to scrap. LOL! It has sure been interesting, it seems this box I packed at a crop when it was over because it sure has random pictures and events but it's all good

I got '0' pages done in May & June :(. I've been very busy with no end in sight on top of which I applied for a full-time position with Girl Scouts ~ yikes! Right now it's a bit insane, I leave for a lacrosse/vacation road trip ~ I pick my youngest up next weekend. I start driving by myself tomorrow (Monday). I plan to bring my laptop and hope to get some digi pages done in the hotels along the way. It's a hectic schedule but I hope it's a lot of fun:
Florence, SC 7/7
Virginia Beach, VA 7/8 (chillin' with a military friend)
Lower Gwynedd, PA 7/9 (at my brother's)
Lexington, MA 7/10 -12 (tournament & pick up child #2)
NYC 7/13-16 (all fun!)
Richmond, VA 7/17-20 (tournament)
Marlton, NJ 7/21-24 (visit friends & family)
Back to FL by the 27...ish
When I get back I have 1 week until I host a BBQ anniversary party for my in-laws and DH's relatives from Honduras...and pack my kitchen up for the kitchen & bath demo...then leave for a camping trip. Boy, I am looking forward to September when (I hope) life will be a bit calmer. Grant it I love all that is going on but the timing turned out much tighter than originally planned ;-).
My goal is to get 4 digi pages done at the hotels when I'll be alone. I don't think I'll have time to scrap when I return for a few weeks when we'll be in the August thread anyway ;-).
I am reading the threads even though I may not have time to reply! I wish you all a safe & happy summer!!!
Here is a page I finished up. Not much time left to scrap for the few next weeks, I am driving to Virginia Beach to pick up my grand daughter and Tiny Tot. They are moving in with my daughter and me! Thrilled to the limit!
This page uses old photos from when my grand daughter was 9 - now she is 23. Time flies. Pool Day is a Good Day by AnniePanda - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I've updated the link to show my finished pages for the Stash buster week one challenge.
Also, just a friendly reminder; the required items on all the weekly challenges (for stash buster) should be a starting point for inspiration. Feel free to add additional items (or pages) to the layout. Most of all have fun using up those OLD items in your stash of supplies!

I just finished two more pages. Got my 5 page goal already!! Plan to do more.
Here is the page I did scraplifting Ann. Wildlife
Ann I saw some more pages of yours I want to scraplift. I am not done.
I'm in the mists of huge change - all for the better but will be rough for a while.
My granddaughter and great granddaughter are moving here with my daughter and me, something we have been trying to convince her of for quite a while now. But that means my studio in my 4th bedroom needs to be removed so the room can become a bedroom again. With containers all over the den and living room I'm not sure how much scrapping I will do until I get going on turning the garage into a living space with insulation and AC.
For now I have one more finished layout to share. It is for the monthly scraplift.
It is Random Cuteness. Details on the post.
I also want to share this pic of the stencil I used on my pool page. I have fallen in love with the stencils/templates from Lea France-French Photo Collage. They have added so much interest to my scrapping! In this photo I show how I moved the template over to use the center only.

I don't know if this will apply to anyone here but....
I was checking my email (I was reading through one by Scrapbook.com) and they said TwoPeasinabucket.com just announced they were closing their website. Scrapbook.com has a tool available to transfer any photos of layouts from gallery to gallery. The email said if the gallery photos aren't transferred, the photos would be lost!
If anyone has photos posted in TwoPeas website and you don't want to lose them, Scrapbook is recommending you transfer them to their gallery. Here's a link to their website: Scrapbook.com
Happy Scrapping!

Had a little trouble linking the pagemaps sketch, so hopefully it worked!
I stepped a little out of my comfort zone for this one...not used to so much white space! But I do like the finished page so all is well! ;)
