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 "sbc15sep"

I have 45 pages done year to date and will try for ten this month. Seems like I never make my goal these days, but I probably get more done than if I didn't set one at all!
I got a few done last month, not even sure how many. Didn't get picture of any of them! Argh.
School and sports have started again, so not sure how I'll do this month. Although I think my main goal this month will be to focus on making sure all my SD cards are downloaded onto the computer and organized.
I'll make a small goal of 6 pages plus organizing 2014 photos.
Made August goal. I have 59 YTD. Since I want to get 100 pages for the year, I will set my September goal at 10 again. Like it's been said before, having a goal usually renders a higher completion rate than if I didn't set a goal.
I'm still in Virginia. DGD is hanging in there. At least I've gotten her eating some, hoping to stop the weight loss. I think I've helped relieve her stress level by taking care of Tiny Tot. Now, if I could just fix her non-supportive husband! He just doesn't get it - don't aggravate a pregnant lady!

Thank goodness for a new month.... My goal will be 8 and my year to date so far is 77, only got two layouts done durning the past month.
August seemed to come and go with a blurr.... Lots of fun road trips with my hubby and lots of changes in our lives. I am really proud of my girls for accepting and taking on the responsibilities of their new callings and all the boys for all their love and support. Loved spending the week(end) in celebrating a 30th (friends) and 31st Anniversary (ours) with our good friends, I am so glad that September is here and fall is in the air... Fall is my favorite season and I am loaded up with a whole new stack of fun fall challenges and recipes to try!
I've done 73 pages YTD, 8 for the month of August! If it weren't for Stashbusters I don't think I would have done any pages in August! I'm sooo far behind on my goals! UGH! Maybe September will calm down and I'll be able to get some more pages and challenges done!
I'm going to go with 10 for a monthly goal...hopefully I can at least do that!!
In the meantime....
Here's Week One of Stashbusters! And even though I forget to mention it...Digitial Scrappers are welcome to play along, just use older kits/items! Hello Myrtle Beach
We have FOUR Hall of Fame additions!!! Lela (LMN), Cheryl (Motherload), Sharon (Smadson), JoyceAnn (Annie Panda) CONGRATULATIONS!!

Hi, I made my high goal for August with 20 pages which brings me to 208 YTD. Setting my goal for September at 20 or 25. I have a crop coming up in two weeks...
woohoo ... Good Morning Scrappy Friends! Monday holidays are so awesome for that extra break from the work week.
I plan to scrap/stamp most of the day other than make a Bday Cake for my oldest DS who's home visiting for the weekend. Yay! Time to get some pages done.
I decided to try something "different" for September. For Sept scrappable moments, I'm going to make the pages prior to ordering the photos. For instance, yesterday we went out to celebrate B's birthday. I looked through the photos I liked and counted those, then I made a page last night from a scraplift on Pinterest. I did the same for the Air Show we went to Sat, counted the photos I liked and made the page. I'm hoping this will help me reduce the boxes of pictures I have ... right now, I'm out of space for storing photos, LOL! I'll let you know if it works ....
All good, scrap on

Sharon, have to say, again, how truly beautiful your "Mother" layout is. I know how hard it is to look back on photos of those we've lost. You have a truly beautiful outlook and you are making precious tributes to her!

I agree Sharon, your page for your Mother is a lovely tribute and a sweet page

Hello!
Well it's still Thursday so technically I'm not too late...just later in the day!
I think I have too much on my mind and I had a hard time finding my mojo today! But here's Stash Buster: Week 2
Hope to get the companion page done sometime this weekend!

I have not been doing much in the way of finishing pages, just getting layouts ready to take to crop/retreat. Here is the only other layout I have gotten done this month.
For anyone who has been thinking of getting Adobe Photoshop Elements, Amazon has Version 13 on sale for $45. I'm sure Version 14 is coming soon (if not already out), so they're discounting 13. I very much doubt a newcomer to PSE would benefit from the newest version, so I' recommend 13. I'm actually still using 11 and have no complaints!
I've started an album from our trip to Disneyland/CA Adventure in July. Some Disney "fanatic" (a/k/a aficionado) friends of ours invited us to join them, and of course, we had a great time. Although I've been to Disney many times, I'd never been to Cars Land which opened in Cal. Adv. in 2012. It was really cute and the Radiator Springs ride was a blast!
No plans for the weekend so I scrapped both day! My fall pictures are all CAS, that's because they are a book for DH and I know he would want his golf pics CAS.
I was originally a member of this group when it started 7 years ago . I then went through a few major changes in life and stepped away from my scraproom. Now I'm clearing the spiderwebs and discovering what I was missing. I'd like to join the group again with a goal of 4 pages. I've been looking at the gallery and challenges and I see amazing talent here!
