[pjlla]

I'm in with 6 pages done for this month!! (I intended to finish them for the Jan challenge, but didn't get them done on time.) No scrapping this weekend as DD and I are going to an "away" swim meet. Good luck to all this month!..............P

[cobbler]

I want to participate even though I don't want to win. I just like to have something to give me a little motivation.

[WDWAurora]

I'm in, got 2 pages done last night.

[knovak]

I'll join in - I'm going to a crop next Saturday from 9 am until 11 pm so hopefully I will get ALOT done.

[Queenie]

I'm in. Another scrapping forum I'm on organises us into teams with weekly challenges, the teams are also organised into houses which now have their own monthly challenges! Need to get going now!

[PrincessNancy96]

May I join?. I'm new scrapbooking..
While my husband was out of town this week.. I scrapbooked 7 pages and am working on some today...

[bcarson]

I am in for 2 pages. I haven't joined a challenge in awhile. :thumbsup2

[scrappinmom]

I spent most of today organizing & reorgaizing my scrap room...but I did do 4 pages! My goal for my weekend crop at the end of the month is 75!

[PoohBearLovinMama]

I made a 8x8 album for a friend's new baby (w/o the pictures) Would that count? If so, I've done 20 pages, if not I'm at a big fat 0! LOL!

[cobbler]

I completed 9 pages yesterday :)

[bigsis1970]

Hi ladies. I did 6 pages this weekend , finished up my ABC album.. Michelle

[pjlla]

Unbelievably, I am home with two sick kids today and I STILL managed to finish 6 pages! GO ME!! I think that brings me to 12 so far for the month.............P

[PrincessNancy96]

Thanks pjlla!!

I have done 4 more pages this weekend.. Started working on more today..but the phone kept ringing off the hook! :furious:

Hopefully, I can get to more tomorrow... I wanted to do some tonight..but ds came home with a science quiz tomorrow...so we are going to study!!! (well, should I say, he is going to study.. I'm going to quiz him!)

[scrappinmom]

[scraphappy92]

I am playing this month for motivation too (not to win)! I have completed 8 so far.

[czycropper]

I've already done 20 pages this month. It helped that this past weekend I was at a SDV. I'm hoping to get going with many more :banana: :banana:

Join away! We always welcome more! Good luck.............P

[pjlla]

Okay.... I got a bit done Tuesday and Wed. Completed 2 more and have 6 more "in the bullpen" as it was. Just didn't have the energy to complete the journaling last night. So I'm up to 14...........P

[bettyann29]

You can put me in for 15 so far this month.. Woohoo.. Im almost done with my WDW book!! and I have 1/2 of my cruise book done, so I'll be happy to finish both this month..

[knovak]

I've completed 6 pages so far. I am going to an all day crop tomorrow from 9 am to 11 pm so I hope to get a lot done. :goodvibes

[ohMom]

can i join? i don't usually join b/c i'm no where near the winner, but after a thursday-friday night-saturday crop i have 21 pages done! woo hoo! i have finished my 8 x 8 album of my 1/2005 trip and printed 375 pictures of our cruise and started that album -- here I go ...........................

[pjlla]

Six more done yesterday, so I am up to 20. I'm taking some photos and my BH Sketches books to work today... maybe I will get some layouts planned during lunch!...........P

[bcarson]

I am up to 3 now. I seem to be taking such a long time! I worked on two last night but they are not done yet. Hopefully tonight I can finish.

[czycropper]

Add 4 more for me - it helped that it was a snowy day here in Jersey and I refused to go out in 19 inches of snow :)

[scraphappy92]

Two more for me this month. Upto 10 now!

I made a lot of kits this weekend for a crop this Friday so I am all set for some major scrapping this week. I also have an all day crop event on the 25th! Need to start getting ready for that one too!

[Honeybehr1]

snow day yesterday and I am up to 23 pages.

[czycropper]

I really want to thank this challenge it has gotten me going! I finished another 2 pages last night, so now my total is 26 for this month :banana: :banana: More than I've gotten done in a lonnnnng time.

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Add 2 more to my total please!

[scrappinmom]

Hi gals! Please check the totals on pg 1...I think I have everyone's right.....

now you guys just wait....I have TWO big crops still to come!!!!! I'm gonna catch up!!!!!

[TN Traveler]

Add 7 more pages to my list. I started my Hawaii album but seem to be struggling somewhat. These are not my pictures; they're a friend of mine that went last year and I wanted to make an album for my office (I'm a travel agent). I thought it would help people see just how beautiful the state really is. Anyway, all pictures are scenic and they are truly beautiful but it's so hard to scrap w/o people!! I've not done this before! I'm also having to do a lot of journaling b/c I want people to know where these pictures were taken and a little about each section. I used almost a whole page just on telling about each island. But I have to admit, what I've done
I'm happy with. I found some great paper on sale 2 weeks ago at Hobby Lobby and then yesterday their stickers were 1/2 half so found some good tropical/Hawaii looking stickers that will work. :woohoo:

Off to crop more!!
Karen

[WDWAurora]

I'm in, got 2 pages done last night.
Ok, so far have 8 more done tonight-hopefully 2 more before bed! That puts me up to 10 total (not counting the hopeful pages!) for the month.

My crop was cancelled tonight, which is sad. I think I may have actually gotten more done at home though, and I've been working less time...

[bcarson]

Put me down for 6. I have a few more almost done but won't count those yet. I went to a crop last night and didn't finish the journaling and a few odds and ends. I should have several more buy the end of my three day weekend! :cool1:

[cobbler]

I did 13 pages today at a crop. This puts me at 22 for the month!

[bcarson]

I officially finished the pages I started at the crop so that brings me to 10! YeaH for me! :cool1:

[PrincessNancy96]

Please add 5 more pages to my total.. I'm up to 16 now! I have a ton still to do..just not enough hours in the day w/ 5 kids here all the time!

[czycropper]

Add 3 more to my total - yeah, I'm on a roll :cool1: :cool1: I'm hoping that it will continue. I'm now waiting for an online order so I can do some American Girl Place LOs!

[pjlla]

I finished the journaling on 6 more this morning, so I am up to 26!! I have set myself a goal to be COMPLETELY caught up with my children's albums by the end of 2006, as well as finished with our 2004 Disney trip. That will leave me just the 2005 DL trip and keeping current. Think I can do it? (I am currently up to May 2000 for both children and about 4 days into our 8 day 2004 WDW trip.... so I have to get about 5 years done for each child.... YIKES!)....................P

[wuv tigger]

I am SO ready to get away. I stayed up last night until 12 midnight to get stuff ready.

The hotel folks will think that I am a bit over packed :lmao: but I don't care. I have my CM carry all, my memory mate stuffed with 3 albums, extra pages & protectors along with my luggage & some food. I forgot my cm cutting system the last time & I made sure it is packed this time.

DH has had extensive travel since July 05 ~ he's been gone about 1/3 of that on travel. He's off again in March for an extended trip.

My goals are:
get my girlfriend's 50th b'day album done. It will be about 28 pages.
finish the 2005 Christmas pages then I will be current in that album
Start on my WDW b'day album from last year.

I'll check back on Monday.

Here's hoping for lots of completed pages! pixiedust:

[pjlla]

I've been scrapping all morning and I have completed 8 more pages for a total of 34 and I have four more waiting for journaling, so I am "cooking with gas" as they say! Plus I have the layouts planned for about 16 more pages (8 LOs), so maybe I'll get some time next week when the kids are on vacation! I've never planned ahead on my LOs... I usually just sit down with the photos and go start to finish (LO, color, embellishments, title, journaling, done). I'm anxious to see if my planning ahead pays off!.............P

[bettyann29]

You can put me down for another 7 pages that I got completed today..

[wuv tigger]

My goals are:
get my girlfriend's 50th b'day album done. It will be about 28 pages.
finish the 2005 Christmas pages then I will be current in that album
Start on my WDW b'day album from last year.

Here's what I got done.

My gf's 50th ~ NOT DONE. I didn't like the colors I had chosen. :crazy2: I put off doing it until I got home & had more paper selections.

I am caught up for my Christmas Albums. I did 8 pages in this album!

I am almost finished my WDW B'day album. My dh & our girls have some journaling to do. I got 33 pages done so far in this album! :cool1:

SO, I got 41 pages done in the weekend.

The only way I got this much done was to use the Power Layout system. :thumbsup2

I hope to finish the journaling this evening.
