November 2015 Scrap Pages & Chatter - sbc15nov

Scrappin' Challenge 2015

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 "sbc15nov"

I finished 9 pages in October, one shy of my intended goal. I actually started the 10th but it will have to go in the November count now when I get it finished.
For my Nov. goal I will stick to 10 pages again.

[Scrappy48]

Happy November!
This year sure is flying by!
I had to go back and look to see what goals I set for the year! I set a goal of 120, did 23 pages in October (whoohoo!) which brings my ytd done to 108.
I'm going to shoot for 12 pages this month. That will bring me to my goal, then I can concentrate on Christmas!
Thanks for all the inspiration last month!

[wendella247]

I'm gonna play it by ear again this month. Here are my first 2 pages for November:

Here is my start for the month. ifh15oct Portrait with a Pumpkin by AnniePanda - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[princessp1971]

Well October was a bust for me. I could not get in the mood to scrap at my get away, only did 3 pages. But I did get my Christmas cards finished and made a lot of gift tags and several different gift packages. And I made several cards for our Church card ministry. I am only 4 from my yearly goal so I will say 4 is my goal for this month.

YTD 116 Nov. goal 4

[Elizabeth G.]

I haven't forgotten about you girls! I just got through my busiest month of the year, with my DD turning 10, visitors, and Halloween.

I won't be able to pay until the 2nd half of the month as I am having another visitor from England come to stay for 2 weeks.

I have a lot of photos printed out that I can't wait to get my hands on. See you all asap

EDIT: I forgot to set my goal of 6 for November. I didn't get anything done last month, except for a 40 page photo book and Christmas cards.

[vilmaldonado]

I would love to play I say...hmmm....6 pages?

[AnniePanda]

Hi Vil! Glad to have you join us!

We're glad you're playing along with us, welcome

[Christy S.]

Hey kids! I'm finally back We moved in June, then it took me a while to get the house organized, and then I made baby books for a set of twins (who still haven't arrived yet...this mama carried TWINS to 40 weeks!). I've only gotten back to making scrapbook pages for myself in the last few weeks and I've only got until the beginning of December before I start yet another baby book. Oyy.

I'm currently at 116 pages for the year (whoop!) and my goal for November is 10 pages.

[AnniePanda]

Glad your are settled and back with us Christy.

Welcome! It's a great group here. Glad to have you with us!

[wendella247]

Anyone know if Sharon Madson is OK? No scraplift challenge posted on Monday, which is unusual for her. Maybe she's on vacation? Hope it's that and not something less fun!

[eeddmm]

I went to Costco this weekend and purchased Photoshop Elements 14 [now the guys have something to give me at Christmas ] It appears there are a few new features since Version 11 that should help make doing some things quicker from what I've read online. Nice price of $39.99 too! Now I'm hoping it works OK with Windows 7! Didn't check that out first,.

I ordered mine online but it hasn't arrived yet. I have Windows 7 also.

[mepylant]

Hi all! I got so many pages finished last month! I'm eager to get more done this month but don't really know when the time will present itself for that to happen.

So I'm shooting for 5 this month

[Scrappy48]

Happy Thursday!

I've been busy today getting my layout done for the Stashbuster Challenge!

Here it is: Kitch-iti-kipi
Hope you can make a layout for each week! Love to add someone to the Hall of Fame! A big THANK YOU to the participants from last month!

[smadson]

Sorry, I have been gone and didn't realize I wouldn't be here the first Monday of month. Great cruise, and more photos to scrap! LOL

Here is this months Scraplift Challenge.

[smadson]

I achieved my 6 page goal for October, so now have 70 pages done for the year.
So my goal will be 6 again for November.

[Motherload]

I just posted my page for this sketch, Cheryl:


Halloween Fun - by wendella247 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[sewflake]

Well shoot, I guess I never did put down a goal for this month. I really have no clue, what I get done I get done as I am already well over my personal goal for the year.

Blues Brothers

Done for the November sketch challenge! Thanks Cheryl!!

[AnniePanda]

Here is my scrap lift of Wendy's layout.

[smadson]

I got about 100 photos printed at Walgreens today; online special of 12€ a photo. So, I have them all and am ready to scrap! Have to look at all the challenges.

[daizees]

Happy November.....9th? whoa, lol! I started a temp job at the county elections office a couple weeks ago and wow is it exhausting. I'm not used to being a working mom! But I have to get the calendars done for Christmas gifts, so I'm still attempting scrapping! I'm setting a goal of 22 for the month to hopefully complete them. Two of those 22 got done last night! I totally cheated when I realized I had the same number of photos for each calendar's October layout, haha, so these look darn similar!

October 1
October 2

[vilmaldonado]

Thanks for the wonderful welcome into this group! I am excited to to be surrounded by scrappers again. I feel like we are a dying breed! Thanks for the support.
So Far I have completed 4 pages this month! I was on a roll, but all the little people around here need to eat lol! Here is my layout for the biweekly sketch challenge:

Hope everyone gets a few minutes to scrap today!

[Scrappy48]

Stash Busters week two is up! Fayette Week 2

I have enough pictures for a few more layouts, this is a State Park (we used to always say it was a ghost town) of vacated buildings. Its a neat place to walk around and look inside the buildings they've maintained.

I'm off again so have a great weekend!

[smadson]

I finally did a page this month!

Jury Duty
Used stash, stash and more stash! (And also the November sketch)

[Christy S.]

Checking in...I have several layouts I need to upload so I'm now at 134 pages for the year and I've met my 10-page November goal. Enjoying this while I can since I'll be starting another baby book in December. Off to leave some lovin' in the gallery!

[daizees]

I linked another calendar page in the gallery a bit ago. This one is for my parents calendar.

May Calendar 2

[Lmn]

Happy November!

whew ... already half way through the month! I'm traveling for work but did get to spend this weekend w/ my Sis and her family, awesome! I'll be home next weekend and am "Itchin' " for lots of time in my Scrap Office ...

How come ideas and MOJO are always greater when you're away....hahaha

Hope you're having a good weekend

[daizees]

I added three more suuuuper simple calendar tops last night:
April

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

[Lmn]

yes ... I'm back After 2 weeks out on the road, it's good to be back although it's cold and possible "white stuff" this weekend here in OH. I guess that's good because hiding in my Scrap Space sounds just perfect

Lots of fun stuff to get done ....

Happy Weekend

[sewflake]

Ooh Lela, I see on my iPhone radar that you are indeed should be getting a little of the white stuff before long. Yikes, it looks like rain before the snow?? Hope you get some scrapping done!

I have been cruising the site and of course I have lots of pages I need to get posted and comments that I need to catch up on. I find I spend more time on the computer than I do working on scrapping!!! That is where those three day crops come in handy, NO computer time!!
