Great page and challenge, Michele. I promise to get to scrapping this week-end. I almost have my room back together. Tomorrow, though, I have a card making workshop with our encouragement ministry at church. Then, Friday, hopefully get room totally done! Then I am in business! Oh, unless my sister comes, she may be here from out of town! I forgot about that. Soon, though!
Rebekah, I think I found your 18 pounds and ate them! LOL.. GOOD FOR YOU! Keep it up. Yay.
Terri,
here is the link that got me totally hooked on the smash idea. Travel Journal
I bought the pre-made ones for my nieces for Christmas and they're ok but I like the ones I made much better. It's kind of a hybrid between a scrapbook and a journal- anything goes. I think the word smash come from the idea if you like something, just smash it in there. I'll post a pic of mine soon.
I'd like to join! I am way behind in my scrapbooks, so this would give me some motivation to catch up. Since it's been a while since the last time I scrapbooked, I'm going to start slow and aim for 2 pages a month.

Welcome Alexandria. I'm glad you want to join us...love seeing inspiration and there is a lot of it in this thread!
I see a few new faces since the last time I visited. It looks like the New Year is off to a good start........I finally finished a page for this year. I scraped a Christmas picture I received in the mail. Now I can not post it as I have not asked permission to display their family photo. Oh well, I had fun and am ready to get back at it for a time. I may post the half picture I took of the layout although it looks a little strange. I could blur the features on the photo.
I did make "kits" for 6 more pages, now all I have to do is sit down and get to work as I make a bigger goal commitment then what I was able to finish for last year.
Like several I read about here, I also made a commitment to Move More & Eat Less. It has been going pretty good so far. I still have not quite gotten down the fact that I am permanently changing my eating and exercise habits and not trying to lose weight fast so I can get back to my old eating habits.
I am headed off to check out the challenges too see what I can work into my next layouts.
Welcome to all the newbies and waving to everyone.
Hi Everyone,
I am anxious to get scrapbooking for 2012. I'm not sure exactly how many pages that I did last year, but I know that I am a very hit and miss scrapbooker at the best of times - whether I am scrapping digitally or paper I tend to do a lot all at once and then nothing for a long time. I would like to change that and get at least 10 pages per month done - 5 traditional and 5 digital. So my goal for the year is 120 pages total - whether it works out to exactly 50/50 traditional or digital I don't really care too much! I would like to make 75 cards this year - 40 Christmas cards and 35 others.
Wow, where does the time go??? Well I think I set a goal of 5 digital pages for January, which I have now accomplished, but no traditional pages done yet. I guess we will see. My craft room is a bit of a mess which is probably why I have been putting it off...maybe I will get to cleaning it up this weekend. I messed up my coding on my last 2 pages so here is my gallery link if you want to peek. Splitcoaststampers Member Galleries - AnnFlynn - Handmade Cards & Crafts

Wow! Wonderful pages! And Congratulations on getting your goal for January. Great inspiration for the rest of us to get ours done! I plan on doing something right now! Here I go...
I just completed my first page of 2012!!! Whahoo! I will upload tomorrow with the Inspriation challenge! Maybe now I can get started scrapping. I love my newly done craftroom and will upload photos as soon as DH hangs everything. I have to make up my mind where!
I am loving all your pages.
Lela, I love your Life is good page!

Look at you all go! I did two cards today! There's hockey on tonight, I will set out to get a double page spread done, instead of knitting! Great job ladies!

Thanks Sharon...it has been a pretty quiet evening in my house! LOL! Hubby and I are both BIG football fans...he likes the Steelers though...BUT, it's life...Rodgers couldn't win the game on his own and none of the other Pack showed up.
On the plus side, I have gotten 2 more pages done this evening

We are great Steeler fans here! So football season is over for us. :(
Great going getting pages done. I had planned on getting some pages done after church tonight, but instead we have been watching Abbot and Costello movies. Can you believe it? But they are good.
I am loving all your pages.
Lela, I love your Life is good page!
Sharon
Thanks Sharon! Perfect page to start my 2012 Scrapbook. I have scrapbooks for both boys and 1 just for "my" pictures ... mostly work trips but I like to scrap all the places I get to go

I got one double page done tonight and one single layout too - 3 pages! Yay! I've been having a great time playing with Sale A Bration pre-order, so couldn't resist using it again tonight. Good way to get through the stash if I don't hoard it to start with right???
Love the challenge to use up some buttons! Also took my self up on my personal challenge to find a way to use Concord Crush cardstock today, AND used the sketch from SBSC295 for this one. What a great layout for beautiful wedding pictures from my daughter's best friend's wedding.
This is a lesson for me to stick around this forum - I'm having a lot of fun getting some pages done. Best part is I'm not stressing - pretty much picking the first layout I see, and then printing pics to fit and using up whatever strikes my fancy from the stash that is bursting at the seams!
Here is page 5 for the month. I see more traditional paper pages coming this week for sure! Tomorrow will be 5 weeks since I had a total abdominal hysterectomy, so I'm home recovering and finally feeling up to playing with the paper, stamps, inks, and fun stuff!

So glad you are feeling like scrapping. I hope you continue to heal and have a complete recovery! Love your participation. The more we all do, the more we inspire each other.

Goodie--it's always fun to have new people join us! We motivate each other and it's a nice bunch of gals here. Looking forward to seeing your pages if you choose to share (which I hope you do!)

I am also a digital and traditional scrapper, although this past year I've done a lot more digi than paper. I do want to try and get more traditional pages done this year than in 2011. My goal is 120 also. Maybe we can help keep each other steady and on track with our goals!!
I used to do a lot of card making too, but I've limited that and increased my scrapping. I find its more long-term than cards and captures memories for myself or others, which is more satisfying for me.
Welcome and I hope you'll share your work with us--both digi and traditional!
Taking a break between surgeries, glad to see the chatter and progress everyone is making! New scrap room? Sharon, PLEASE post pictures, I'm needing ideas for mine.
Hope to get to the gallery this evening, just wanted to say HI!!

Thanks! I've definitely done more digital in the last year, but I have so much paper goodies around that its really time to put it to good use! I find that I can do digital pages quicker and easier when I'm busy with a lot of other things. When I have down time (like right now) its easier to get into the real cluttery work of traditional. I love both!
I think our goals are quite reasonable - lets keep each other on track for sure!

I can't begin to tell you how much traditional stuff, including papers, embellies and tools I own. I'm with you! My next page I start is gonna be traditional.
