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 "sbc15mar"

I am really excited for a new month, I have been released fro all my doctors and my Grandbaby and her family has moved in while they wait for her daddy to get his job transfer. So between spending more time here and spoiling the princess, I am looking forward to a great month.
February was a little slow for me and I only completed 6 out of my 15 layouts, that makes my YTD total 21.
For March, I am going to plan for 10 pages, plus I want to finish my mini album for my mom.

Good news all the way round, Anavon! Have fun spoiling your grandbaby!!
I managed to get my last few pages done on Saturday to meet my February goal, I'm now at 40 for the year. I'm feeling pretty confident so I'm going to go for another 20 this month!
I missed my goal for Feb - got 8 of the 10 - but I'm going for 10 pages again for March. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and productive month of March.

If you participate in each weekly challenge for the Stash buster month, you get mentioned in our "Hall of Fame". Motherload started the fun tradition a while ago and we've carried it on!
I didn't quite meet my Feb goal, but I am shooting for 12 pages in March again anyway! I've updated my signature, and I've added a page to the Feb gallery that I got done on Saturday, haha!
Hi. Been working way too hard the last couple of months and am still having to do more. Seems things never end when you own your own business and have an active boy too that requires lots of time. Seems the weather is never letting up anytime soon either. Have been home all day but hubby decided to bring home the work phone so I could answer it from home.. gee thanks! I'd love to try and scap again but I'm not sure I'd remember how to turn on Photoshop Elements..lol! If school is canceled again tomorrow and the roads are still bad, I just might try...keeping my fingers crossed...off to check the gallery now!
Well..figured out how to start PSE11...even figured out how to open 2 windows so that I could copy a photo from an old layout to put into one I started a few months ago since I couldn't find the original picture..however, forgot that I had to save after every new item I did and the program closed down on me for some reason before I saved my changes so....gotta start over again. Lesson learned...again! lol!
Good to see you here, Terry! I've been using PSE 11 for a year or so; purchased 13 but not anxious to install it. You know it's always a pain to learn a newer version!

Had a some quiet time durning Princess' nap... so here is my take on task 1 of the progressive challenge for March. (I never finished Feb. because I didn't like where it was going for me!)
Hi all! Thanks for the warm welcomes back...I've missed having the time to hang out and scrap in the evenings. I'm just too exhausted most evenings.
Schools were closed again today but DGS made a "play" date with friends and since he's recovering from a strained knee injury and I wouldn't let him go outside to play, I had 3 quite active and loud boys all afternoon. Every time I tried to get some work done for the business remotely, we lost internet. Apparently each of the 2 brothers that came also brought their laptops and Ipods so we had 7 electronic devices hooked up and my internet would get very slow and then go down for a bit so I didn't get too much done. Poor puppy got quite frustrated with all the hollering and running once they decided to give up on the laptops and play with the Nerf guns! Boy...what a relief once they went home but then it was suppertime. I did make an apple cake today that turned out really good.
And Anavon, I tried an artisan bread a while back that was awesome good! I couldn't believe how easy it was to make it too...no kneading! I'll miss you this summer when I go to Myrtle. Last year Dman and I went to Williamsburg as we had to drive by ourselves and the beach was a little too far for me on my own. Hoping this year that Hubby can go with us on vacation or else I'll have to take my daughter to help with the driving.
It sounds and looks like your recent move is working out well and it's good to hear you are feeling better.
Gotta go put DGS to bed and then I'll sit and try to work on a page for a bit...night!
So FUN to see more Scrap Friends back with us --- Liz G and Terry!
I was only gone for a week and I missed all of you but it was just so crazy ... it started out well but then Crazy Winter Storm Thor decided to give us one more winter blast and I (unfortunately) was right in the middle of it. Not by much so I headed to NC to "wait it out" and see some other customers. ;)
I spent the last couple days in Michigan for WMU Senior Night (B-ball) and then up to Mt Pleasant for DS GF Bday at "Price is Right" at the Casino (she turned 21, LOL). Back home for a couple days, and the MAC BBall Championship starts this week plus I'm in MI all next weekend for a crop. It's too bad all the fun stuff has to end up falling on the same week ...
Today, after a paper for class, I'll be scrapping!
Hope all good ....

Hi all! I went to a crop that benefits my daughters school all day Saturday. I even managed to get some things accomplished between chatting! Here is the first layout done all on my Cricut and based on one of our February sketches:
This weekend went by quicker than the blink of an eye! I didn't get a chance to do any scrapbooking, but I'm working on my Stashbuster page for this week's challenge which is posted here: Week 2
Hope you can play along this week. I'll post my layout later today!

I finally got the layout for Stashbusters posted! It turned out to be later than I thought, but I'm glad I waited to finish it this morning. I forgot I had 3M Injet Transparencies and was struggling to figure out how I was going to print on my metal rimmed tags. They were different colored vellum and I didn't want to change that.
Here's the layout with a link to the requirements: Fun Times
Now to get caught up on the Progressive Challenge and the Sketch!! Whew!
