April Scrapbooking Challenge- Who's in this Month?

[rlovew]

Who will be completing pages and moving up the list on our annual thread this month? Will you be working on your spring and Easter photos or catching up from sometime earlier in the year or life? Sign-up so we can all help keep each other going on getting our pages together.

[PrincessNancy96]

I'm in!!!

I have 6 pages ready for pictures to be added...and plan on working more today.. I'll let you know when to add these to my list!!! ;)

[mickey8888]

Please count me in. This helps me to stay on track because I don't want a 0 next to my name. LOL! This helps me to complete my disney album.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will be working on preschool pages this month. They do have pictures and journaling. Would they count? If so, I am in. My first time.

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm in, I'm in!! I'm hoping to have a good month this month and get the March trip book finished! :thumbsup2

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'm in!!!

[hopemax]

I am in. I have to focus on completing pages this month if I want to earn those scissors in the yearly thread.

[rlovew]

Any pages you do count- they don't have to be for your own albums just completed.

Rebecca

[mantaz]

I am in for this month. I just got back from WDW so I have a book to do for DD so she can take it to school to show her class.

[LisaB]

I am in

[Honeybehr1]

Please count me in. I have a few done so far but havent counted them yet. I need to get caught up on my sons preschool book and my oldest 4th grade book (I only have one page done in that one - first day :rotfl: ) If I get to those, my total should be pretty respectable. The key word is IF:lmao:

[New England Eeyore]

I'm in! I love having this motivation.

[Mickster]

I'm in. We will be going to the shore for a few days this week and I'll have a babysitter (well, my parents) and then my in laws are coming this weekend. I hope to get some pages and/or swaps done. :)

[JandJ]

I'm joining! I have to do my DH's grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary book - what fun :rolleyes: and I still need to finish 2006 and get started on 2007.

[Faerie]

I'm in! I cropped my 264 pictures from my October Disney trip on Saturday and bought a Cricut on Sunday. Time to get it started

[MazdaUK]

I'm in! Fewer swaps might lead to more pages :rolleyes: But then, I've got a lot of stuff on the way back so that will also inspire me to do more - talk about a win win situation:lmao:

[jennyL]

OK I was hoping tha March would be better but I've got stuff layed out just have to get it done. LOL So count me in.

[rlovew]

I have everyone in to here. If you don't see your name let me know it is easy to miss a post.

Rebecca

[aroyer]

I think this might just be the motivation I need. Count me in please! :thumbsup2

[Mic_n_Min]

Please sign me up also. My creative juices are finally flowing again, so it's time to create some pages. My photography business is picking up again for the Spring, but I need to do something just for me. :thumbsup2

I did complete one page the other night (non Disney related though) that I can post if anyone wants to see.

We count all pages with journaling and pictures, they don't have to be Disney. On this thread you only have to say how many pages you completed. If you want to post pictures feel free to or you can post them on the picture sticky.

Rebecca

[tiggerfan6]

I'm in .. Looking forward to the challenge :)

[Octoberbeauty]

Please count me in as well. I'm working on our Disney trip from December. :)

[TPCShauna]

I'm in. My goal is to finish my b-day trip to LA from LAST year since my b-day is tomorrow. I finished 6 pages yesterday which is pretty-good for me.

[threeboysmom]

I'd like to be included! Haven't done a scrapbooking challenge in a while due to wpasadi taking over my life :rotfl:

[Wilsonfamily4]

Me too! I am new to this forum but this is what I need to get my bottom in gear. I have our 2007 WDW trip to do and my 2006 trip to China plus all the everyday things, so I really need to get going. Would love to get caught up to date this month, maybe May.

[Queenie]

I'm in with one page done so far :)

[rlovew]

I got the board updated through here!! We already have a couple of you on the board for the month. I have 3 swaps to put inthe mail this week and then I am working on my scrapbooks.

Rebecca

[Yzerbear19]

I'm in. Though I don't know how many I will get done this month since I have quite a bit going on especially my birthday at the end of the month! YEAH!!!

I have a couple of digital ones that are close to being done that I have to finish.

[threeboysmom]

Yay! Just did 4 pages this afternoon. :cool1:

[pjlla]

Well.... I'll jump in again this month. My numbers certainly can't be any worse than last month! I've just been in a rut getting other stuff done (like laundry, dishes.:lmao: ), plus I have been working a lot.... gotta pay for the Mother/Daughter trip in May!......................P

[Mickster]

I'm on the board with 10! I went to a crop tonight and I finished my 2006 trip to WDW! :woohoo:

[MyGirlLovesMickey]

I'm in!!! I may only get a few days to work on scrapbooking, but my church is having a scrap day on the 28th, so I should be able to get several pages done that day.

[rlovew]

Updated through here.

Rebecca

[LisaB]

I did three last night

[quiltymom]

Me, too! I've done zip-a-dee-do-dah yet, but hopefully I'll be as successful as last month! Here's to hoping...

[Scrapdolly]

I had no idea this all existed here - I am off to try and discover more

[AlexWyattMommy]

I finished 15 pages today!! WooHoo!

[PrincessNancy96]

I finished 15 pages today!! WooHoo!

OMG! You grew up over night... YOU are a big girl scrapper now!!! RATZ! That means I have to get my butt in gear tonight!!! :)

[BernardandMissBianca]

I finished 15 pages today!! WooHoo!

What a minute what happened to just being a collector???

[PrincessNancy96]

What a minute what happened to just being a collector???

I know what was she thinking not telling us she was no longer going to just collect those items!!! :confused3 :rotfl:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Well, these are preschool pages. So it only cuts into my paper stash. Love the Cricut. Now, my swapping stuff is still safe for now.

I made the cutest pages using the letters B&MB gave me. I'll take pictures the next time I working on the other ones. (We do these at another lady's house)

I am still a collector.

[PrincessNancy96]

I'm on the board w/ 5... and a stack to finish tomorrow!!! ;)

[rlovew]

We are off to a great start- at least some of us our and make the group as a whole look good for the month so far.

Rebecca

[aroyer]

Ok, I got 2 done. In between making DS's birthday invites and playing with the Cricut.

[threeboysmom]

I managed to do 5 more pages yesterday afternoon.

Wow! Some of you can really scrap!!! LOL!

[scrappinmom]

I'm in! Just back from 12 wonderful vacation days! I have lots to do! Probably won't even be on the board with ONE page for at least a week....but that's ok!

[plgrn]

Count me in and on the board with 2 pages! :cool1: :lmao:

[BernardandMissBianca]

I managed to do 5 more pages yesterday afternoon.

Wow! Some of you can really scrap!!! LOL!

Yeah they are crazy!!! LOL
Me I'm lucky if I get 6 pages done a month. :rolleyes: :rotfl2:

[Mickster]

6 more for today. Maybe there will be more, but probably not today. :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I did do 45 (3 pages x15) today. But they were party pages and no journalling, so they don't count for this challenge, but for my personal achievements, I put tally marks on my calendar.

[TPCShauna]

Question - Not all of my pages have journaling (on purpose). Those don't count?

[New England Eeyore]

I'm on the board with 2 pages!

I think if your pages intentionally don't have journalling they certainly count. They don't count if you leave the journalling off, to be done "later." Those count when later actually comes!

[rlovew]

I did do 45 (3 pages x15) today. But they were party pages and no journalling, so they don't count for this challenge, but for my personal achievements, I put tally marks on my calendar.


As long as you don't plan on journaling them later they count for the challenge. I changed your numbers on the original post to 45. Great start for the month!!!!!

Rebecca

[RRBB]

Last month was pretty pathetic for me, with only 4 pages completed. But this month is starting out great... we'll see if it continues. So far I've completed and delivered the numbers album I started for my niece last June. Plus I got a whole ABC album completed for my DS. So all in all I've already completed 56 pages, plus 40 flash cards that went along with the numbers album for my DNiece.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Cool for that counting. So then I really have 60 pages completed. 15 on Tuesday and 45 yesterday. They are really cute.

[Honeybehr1]

I have 26 done so far. I am trying to get our vacation from last summer before we go on a weekend getaway next weekend.

[New England Eeyore]

3 more for me while watching Lost last night!

[aroyer]

I have finished 4!

[BernardandMissBianca]

ACK! I can't get motivated. Now that I've finished our 2004 WDW trip I don't know what to do. I got burnt out on disney stuff. I just can't decide what to do now.....

[Macca1111]

I posted on the yearlong list, because I didn't see this one! I'd love to join, and I'll let you know a total at the end of April.

[rlovew]

I believe I have everything updated through here. If your number isn't right in the first post let me know.

Rebecca

[rlovew]

I posted on the yearlong list, because I didn't see this one! I'd love to join, and I'll let you know a total at the end of April.

You can do that or just let us know throughout the month where you are and I will update your number on the 1st post.

Rebecca

[New England Eeyore]

2 more last night!

[plgrn]

I was on a roll tonight! 12 more pages. :cool1:

[Macca1111]

You can do that or just let us know throughout the month where you are and I will update your number on the 1st post.

Rebecca

Alright, one more question since you've all been so helpful and motivating. Can I give totals for January and February too? I wasn't checking this forum at that point, but I was scrapbooking, and I know how many pages I've completed for the year so far. It's totally fine if I can't, I was just curious as I'm eager to start and help out the totals - I feel lame not having completed any in a month, but before that I had done 100 pages (exactly, wow, i had to go back and recount) in January and February. :banana: It was a bad time in my life, and thusly a productive time for scrapping. C'est la vie, eh? :artist: That makes me sound like a character in a bad movie wearing a beret and speaking with a phony French accent. "From pain comes art" or some such plattitude. Man, I should go to bed. I think I need the sleep. :faint: Sorry for the random thought chain at the end there... :sad2:

[Mickeyteacher]

I'm in- I will count my pages from our 5 hour crop last night in a little while- I will say I got a whole lot done thanks for swap items. They make putting pages together a snap!

S :)

Just post on the annual thread that you did the 100 for January and February, as well as any you did for March and SIOH who runs that thread can update you on that one. I hope things are getting better for you.

Just wanted to chime in here and agree with Rebecca! I'll add your 100 pages to the annual thread--that'll get you on for January & February! Then, at the end of April, I'll add your April ones from this thread in!! Welcome aboard!! I hope things start going better soon! :dance3:

[scrappinmom]

I'm on the board with 7 pages last night!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, remember when I said I was having a hard time starting my disney 06 trip because I didn't have my cricit carts yet? Well NOW I have them,,,& I must have sat there for 45 minutes last night JUST GETTING STARTED and planning what I wanted to do for my Share a Dream Parade page! GEESH! at this rate I'll be scrappin my '06 trip in 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mickeyteacher]

I'm in- I will count my pages from our 5 hour crop last night in a little while- I will say I got a whole lot done thanks for swap items. They make putting pages together a snap!

S :)

OK-so I just counted- I did 48 pages last night! I'm going to finish this year and then lay out the next years worth of pictures sometime this weekend!

S :)

[Macca1111]

Thanks again Rebecca and SIOH! Both for the help and kind words. Life is better now...I was devestated by my fiance leaving me, and having to move back into my parents house, and not having my teaching job next year...like I said, it was a bad time. I wanted to let you know though that I appreciated your kind words and I am doing well now. It's so nice to have such a supportive group on here - I'm glad I found you all! Also on a happy note, I finally finished all of my tax junk, so I'm off to scrapbook. :banana:

You will find that we are very supportive here.I'm very glad things are getting better. Enjoy more scrapbooking and move up in the ranks on our annual thread.

Rebecca

[quiltymom]

Also on a happy note, I finally finished all of my tax junk, so I'm off to scrapbook. :banana:

Same here! Now I can play, too!

P.S. I'm sorry that life has been crazy for you! :grouphug:

[StitchIsOurHero]

All right!! I'm on the board here! I got 28 pages done tonight from our March 2007 book. That's right. . .only 120 to go! :rotfl2: However, it's a start!!

We're having early Easter brunch at my parents tomorrow, so I'm hoping for some scrapping time tomorrow afternoon.

Macca1111--what will you be teaching next year? Several of us are in the teaching field! Like Rebecca said, this is a very supportive and awesome group--and we're glad you found us!

Happy Easter, everyone!! :banana:

[Macca1111]

I teach orchestra and music theory, but I think I'm going to go back and do graduate work next year. I took this position knowing that it would only be two years long, but was really expecting it to continue on - hoping the previous teacher wouldn't want to come back to his job! ;) Ah well, if I can go back to graduate school, it really would be a great opportunity. Life changed a whole lot for me this year, but I think it could really be a positive thing. I definetly want to go back to teaching at some point, but now would be a good time to get a masters in violin performance - a good reason to be out of a job. :rolleyes: I came on to mention my productive day - I got 31 pages done, and finally finished my Disney vacation from 2004...I wonder what I did in 2005? Hmm, have to go back and look. :confused3

[rlovew]

Updated through here. I was bored so I added on a few little smilies.

Rebecca

[StitchIsOurHero]

Rebecca, I love the smilies!! Those are a great motivator. . .I gotta get to work to get one of those!! :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I knew preschool would be good for my DS, just didn't know how good it would be for me too.
Course, once April is over, I will be all done with my share of the preschool pages and I will never see numbers like this again, so don't anyone mind if I roll around in it for a while. :rotfl2:

[Mickster]

I love the smilies! I want one now! My in laws are here, maybe I can get some done today... :) Thanks for keeping track! :banana:

[rlovew]

Those are a great motivator. . .I gotta get to work to get one of those!! :)


I thought they might motivate people to move up just a bit- Like if I just finish another 2 pages I can have a smilie! I know that I am working to get my pages done so I can get to the next level in the annual thread. I have to do another 30 something more to move up. Of course after that move it will be a few months before I move up since the next jump is pretty high.

Rebecca

[threeboysmom]

OK, I did another 6 pages over the weekend. Not as much as I would have liked, but it's better than nothing :)

[StitchIsOurHero]

I did another 31 pages today! I'm hoping to keep up the momentum. Thanks to all of you that I've swapped with this past year--I used LOTS of swap items!! :thumbsup2

That puts me at 59 for the month! :banana:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I had better get off this DIS and go put my cacti on my pages so SIOH doesn't take away my smilie.

[StitchIsOurHero]

AWM--you're probably safe from me! I just wanted the dancing banana!! :banana:

[Mickeyteacher]

I did another 8 pages this afternoon----
S :)

[rlovew]

Updated through here so SIOH and Mickeyteacher you both got your dancing bananas.

Rebecca

[plgrn]

Three more for me. :cutie:

[plgrn]

Updated through here. I was bored so I added on a few little smilies.

Rebecca

You have discovered my weakness! :rotfl: Thanks!

[New England Eeyore]

Just 4 for me tonight. I did do a lot of prep work though, so hopefully next time will go faster.

[Macca1111]

Yeah smilies! That's ridiculously motivating...too bad I have to go to bed so I can teach tomorrow...I want to go do more right now! Banana here I come! :banana:

[StitchIsOurHero]

Updated through here so SIOH and Mickeyteacher you both got your dancing bananas.

Rebecca

It's really sad how excited getting the smilie makes me!! :rotfl2:

[MazdaUK]

Finally managed to get 5 pages done :thumbsup2 DS(7) also did the first 2 pages of his new scrapbook - could he join the boards as Kicky? I doubt he'll do 20 pages all year but he's always hanging over my shoulder when I'm on here or scrapping .
I did get loads of recipes printed out for my recipe books though so hopefully I'll be cranking up that total:woohoo:

[rlovew]

Updated through here.

NEE- You are still averaging more than 1 a day which I think is great. (although I guess you will slow down once you are away- I can't wait to meet you)

MazdaUK- I added your son- one can never be too young to get started.

Good luck on keeping the scrapping up everyone.

Rebecca

[New England Eeyore]

Thanks, Rebecca! Now that you put it that way I feel better! I have been trying to scrap at night when I get home from work, even if it's just getting things together for the next day. For some reason late nights are my most productive time anyway, so might as well take advantage of that. My totals for the month won't be too high because I'll have that big gap but a little at a time is good!

[tiggerfan6]

I finished 2 pages last night while watch brothers and Sisters

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got some more time to work this afternoon--I may like this whole being able to come home right after school thing! :)

I got 18 pages done today--that puts me at 76 for the month. I'm determined to get my March album done this month! :thumbsup2

[rlovew]

Updated through here. Congratulations on taking the lead SIOH!!!!

Rebecca

[New England Eeyore]

3 more tonight. I wanted to push for 4 but I need to go to bed!

[MazdaUK]

Thank you Rebecca - I showed DS(7) and he had a huge smile, then wanted to do some more scrapping to get a banana:) As he hasn't got any more photos at the moment it looks a bit unlikely this month, but maybe once he gets his zoo pictures back...

[PrincessNancy96]

Hey wait! I want a banana..

Who is willing to come up and watch my Dkids so I can get a banana? :lmao:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Me. I'll watch yours if you will watch mine.:thumbsup2

[PrincessNancy96]

Sounds like a plan AWM!!! ;)

I've gotcha covered!!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got 12 more done today. Yes, I should have been working on that testing stuff for work, and now I have to go do that. . .but scrapping was much more fun!! :banana: That puts me at 88 for the month! :cool1:

[AlexWyattMommy]

You go Girl!!

At least I had the cool smilie for a little while. :hippie:

[rlovew]

You go Girl!!

At least I had the cool smilie for a little while. :hippie:


Updated to here. AWM- you still have a dancing banana!!

Rebecca

[AlexWyattMommy]

I got my photos on the ones I prep'd yesterday ...
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q179/alexwyattmommy/IMGP0371.jpg

So 15 complete for today.

[rlovew]

That is a very cute page. I have you updated.

Rebecca

[MazdaUK]

I did 17 pages yesterday and I'm scrapped out :faint:

Well, not really:rolleyes1 But I've got 2 interviews today and am now thinking I should have been preparing for them instead of cutting out bits of paper:scared1:

[StitchIsOurHero]

AWM--I love that page! Too cute!! :dance3:

[aroyer]

I have 5 pages done. Not much but way more than usual.

[rlovew]

5 pages total- or 5 more- I updated the first post with 5 more than I wondered exactly what you meant.

Updated through here.

Rebecca

[aroyer]

5 pages total- or 5 more- I updated the first post with 5 more than I wondered exactly what you meant.

Updated through here.

Rebecca

Sorry for the confusion- I didn't see any by my name, so 5 total.

[aroyer]

Ah- I see my confusion, I am on the list twice! I was only seeing the first one, not the last one!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Double the aroyer, double the fun!!

[rlovew]

Fixed through here- at least I think.

Rebecca

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got 12 more done today. I'm trying to make myself scrap some every night. . .then it's hard to drag myself away to do the stuff I have to do for work! I think that puts me at 100 for the month.

Must go do pre-registration!! Putting schedule requests in--6 classes for 1000 students! Fun, fun!! :banana:

[aroyer]

I finished 4 more tonight! :cool1:

[rlovew]

I updated to here and added in a new smilie for making it to 100 pages.

Rebecca

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oooo, a new smilie to try to earn.

That helps me get my tush back in gear!!

Going to stop putting this off and go work (after I read all the threads from last night).

[quiltymom]

Wow - you guys are doing so good! I'm just thinking about what I need to get done this month. Hopefully I'll be able to sit down this weekend and get a few pages done.

But keep up the good work, everyone! :cheer2:

[Yzerbear19]

I finished 20 more! :cool1: 12 of those are of the parade!

BTW, my name is misspelled in the first post. ;)

[scrappinmom]

14 more for me - too cold & snowy to go anywhere! & we lost power yesterday for 6 hours...so I just pulled up the blinds & scrapped...

still a sorry total for April...

oh well I'm working on it!

[Madisonznana]

Hi all,
I have been having computer problems. I still don't have mine back, but I was having withdrawals and so I popped on DD's. I don't think I signed up for April. And without the computer, I did get some scrapping done!!:banana: I have 20 pages so far, and it is early in the month!!
Hope to be back soon and with my computer so I can share!
Karen

[rlovew]

Updated and corrected through here. Keep up the scrappin' Disers.

Rebecca

[MazdaUK]

10 more for me - I'm running out of room for new pages in both DS recipe books. Maybe I should have been more choosy about the recipes I put in :headache:

[aroyer]

I managed to eek out 2 more pages. Had to do housework tonight- it really interferes with scrapping! :lmao:

[rlovew]

I know I had some to do too. I am hoping to get some work done on my scrapping and swapping tomorrow.

Rebecca

[Honeybehr1]

I am up to 54 pages total. :woohoo: I still need to update both kids school books(easy pages) and their professional studio books. They both require me to plan and think out the layouts too much. :rotfl:

My personal goal is to have 250 pages done by June 1st for the year and be a
Memories Maven :rotfl: :lmao:

[JandJ]

I know I signed up this month, but I don't see me on the list the first page??

Anyway, finally on the board as I did 2 whole pages last night!

A great goal- I am trying to make it there this month but if I don't then definately by June. I only need 20 more pages I think and I have a number that are just waiting for journaling that I hope to do tomorrow morning.

[rlovew]

I know I signed up this month, but I don't see me on the list the first page??

Anyway, finally on the board as I did 2 whole pages last night!

I've got you in there now. 2 pages is still 2 pages done and made for future generations.

Rebecca

[tiggerfan6]

2 last night and 4 today

[rlovew]

Got them added.

Rebecca

[mickey8888]

I have completed 2 pages so far this month.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay, all those cacti are on the pages, journaling & photos. 15 more for me please.

[rlovew]

Got your pages and added your new smilie. I got one today too.

Rebecca

[MazdaUK]

rebecca, I think I'm up to 32 now (hint)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I can't keep the new smilie. I only have 90 pages for the month so far. Once I finish the ice cream parlor pages & the Shelton Space Station pages, than I will have over 100.

[threeboysmom]

WOW!! You all are doing GREAT!! Keep up the good work!!

I have sadly fallen behind with WPASADI going on, but hopefully I'll be back at my digi-scrapping next week! I so want a smilie! :)

[rlovew]

rebecca, I think I'm up to 32 now (hint)

I got you fixed and added your smilie.

Rebecca

[rlovew]

Thanks for telling me about my mistake. You'll get your smilie back soon, and you do have 2 others anyway.

Rebecca

[rlovew]

WOW!! You all are doing GREAT!! Keep up the good work!!

I have sadly fallen behind with WPASADI going on, but hopefully I'll be back at my digi-scrapping next week! I so want a smilie! :)

It's amazing how something that small can keep us motivated.

Rebecca

[Fran98765]

1 for april so far.

[mickey8888]

I completed another page today for a total of 3 for the month and 13 for the year! :thumbsup2

[TPCShauna]

I finished 6 yesterday.

[mantaz]

Ok I can finally get on the board with some numbers. I have done 20 pages so far and have 4 pages left to finish DD's baby album! Of course she will be 3 at the end of next month. Well at least I am catching up!!!

[rlovew]

I've updated through here. Mantaz hopefully you can get theat baby book done this month if you scrap again. It is always wonderful to finish a book and be able to start on something new.

Rebecca

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got another 10 done today. I am fighting with the Cricut Mickey and Friends cartridge--somehow I can't get mine to look right! I'm hoping to finish this book this week!! I think that puts me at 110 for the month. :)

Have a great week, everyone!

[Macca1111]

13 more for me...it took me some time because I had to remember what happened after our WDW trip in summer of 2004. My first year of teaching...hmmm, wonder why I blocked that out? :lmao: So I got dance pictures from that summer done today.

[rlovew]

My first year of teaching...hmmm, wonder why I blocked that out? :lmao:

If was anywhere near as bad as mine I can definately understand blocking it out. My first year was brutal. I took a break for 5 years to recover. My first year back was hard but not nearly as hard as that first year, but now I am on a great team and teaching is so much easier.


I am updated through here.

Rebecca

[MazdaUK]

Six more for me last night!
I'm supposed to be having a crop this afternoon but its the first day back after Easter so I'm not sure if anyone will turn up. DH did the school run armed with the relevant newsletters as I'm working at home, so we'll see what news he comes back with...

[JandJ]

I felt inspired this weekend :goodvibes and got 18 more pages done!

[PrincessNancy96]

4 more pages done.. hoping to do several more tomorrow.. they are ready to go.. just new a few moments of peace and QUIET!

[MazdaUK]

2 more for me at the crop - not bad considering I spent the first hour just moving bits of paper about trying to find inspiration! DH is on lates so i hope to try some more tonight :goodvibes

[Fran98765]

1+1=2 :) :cool1:

[AlexWyattMommy]

15 Ice Cream Parlor Pages done!

[Mickster]

4 more for me today! I am going to a crop for the weekend on the 27 & 28. I hope to post a lot of pages! :) But not yet. I still have swaps to get done.

[AlexWyattMommy]

My son graduates on May 8th, so I need all these pages done before that. While working on swaps too. :scared:

[rlovew]

Updated through here. Great work over the weekend ladies.

Rebecca

[Fran98765]

1 more = 3 :)

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got another 18 pages done tonight--I may eventually finish this book! That puts me at 128 for this month.

Great job, everyone! This is a successful month for all of us!! :banana:

[rlovew]

I just updated the numbers and added some statistics on group averages at the bottom of the first post. There are 37 people signed up for the challenge. We have completed 757 pages so far and we are just over half way through the month. That means that:
the average pages per person is 20 :cool1:
the average pages per day is 47 :yay:

Wow we are doing a great job on actually scrapping our pictures this month.:cheer2: :grouphug: party: :jumping2:

Rebecca

[Mickster]

You really are a teacher, aren't you? :cutie: I love statistics like that.

Phew, I just checked and I am right on average. That's me - an average Joe, well maybe Josephine. :rolleyes1

[aroyer]

1 more for me. That may be all I get done for the week. It's DS birthday on Wednesday and I have lots to do to get ready for the party, etc. I will have lots of pics to scrap after the party!

[RRBB]

I finished up another 32 pages this evening for a Numbers album for DS. That puts me at 88 for the month. I'm thinking I'll only get the few pages I need to tackle for CJs finished before calling it quits on the scrapping for a while. I could be wrong but my guess is sleep will take priority over scrapping after baby arrives in a few weeks. ;)

[jennyL]

Well I'm finally off the boards with 12 pages complete in my Grandmother-in-lawas 80th birthday album. I only have a couple more pages in it to go so hopefully I can finish up tonight.

[MazdaUK]

32 pages in one evening:scared1: I cropped and stuck pictures on one (yes, ONE) 2-page layout last night (12 x 12 so its quite a lot, honest :rolleyes1 ) but I've still got to journal and embellish so it doesn't count yet.. But I'm up to May 2001 so steaming ahead :rotfl: DH is going out with the lads tonight so I'm going to be really good, not watch rubbish TV ("finding a Danny and Sandy", I ask you:rolleyes: ) and get loads done. Ooooh, 4 pages at least:rotfl2:

[RRBB]

32 pages in one evening:scared1: Don't be so shocked. They were nearly done, just needed a bit of tweaking and printing out. I made both DS's ABC album and Numbers album on the computer and printed/cropped the pages down for the actual books. He's two and loves going through them. Even as I was working on them on the computer he would make me stop so he could look at the pictures. If y'all want I'll post them for ya... Trust me, they are very basic but they work.

[rlovew]

You really are a teacher, aren't you? :cutie: I love statistics like that.

Phew, I just checked and I am right on average. That's me - an average Joe, well maybe Josephine. :rolleyes1

Yes, and I love math and schedules and statistics. My team calls on me to schedule anything in their days 9when they set up centers and such because in a few minutes it just all come together in my head.

I updated through here including the monthly statistics.

Happy Birthday!!!!

[MazdaUK]

I did three pages, and cropped and stuck two more ready to finish tonight (hopefully). I was playing with my new clear stamps and couldn't get the ink to stick - does sanding them work?

[sabrina in tn]

I'm new to the DIS and I'm a scrapper. I've done 3 pages so far this month and 32 total for the year.

I'm in awe of the number of pages some of you ladies are doing each month!

[Madisonznana]

Welcome Sabrina! And Mazdauk, I have tons of the clear stamps and have never had to use anything on them. Could it be the ink you are using?
I have 4 whole pages to add to my count!:banana: Speeding right along!
Karen

[mrsbornkuntry]

I started and finished my first page tonight!! Granted, it doesn't have any photos (it isn't meant to) and it's pretty basic, but it's a start and I'm pretty happy with it. I know I couldn't have even started without all of the great info I've gotten here :thumbsup2 .

I can only scrap after my DS3 goes to bed so this will be pretty slow going.

[MazdaUK]

Three more for me :)

The ink should be OK - I'm using CTMH inks (the pen ones) and stamps. I did get some other clear stamps - I can't remember the brand but they're not $ store, if you know what I mean:rolleyes1 - and I had a bit of trouble with one, which was a rectangle with the word "wild" carved into it (reverse image). I used the brush end but I didn't get good definition. It was the first time I'd used it so maybe it will be better now I've washed it.

[rlovew]

Updated through here. I will be a bit slower updating this weekend as I leave for Disney early tomorrow afternoon and won't return until Sunday evening.

Rebecca

[bobcat]

I'm going to join you this month. I am trying to get caught up on many random pages before the 300+ pictures I ordered from Winkflash arrive.

As of this morning - 14
Pages finished waiting on pictures to arrive - 4
Can I count 8x8 Pages? If so I have 10 more

Hopefully this will help to keep me accountable!

[PrincessNancy96]

Yes, you can count 8 X 8 pages in your totals!!!

Welcome aboard!!! :)

[rlovew]

Got it updated once again. Welcome to our newest challengers- bobcat, sabrina_in_tn, and Mrsbornkuntry.

Any size pages count as long as they are complete.

Rebecca

[Faerie]

I have tickets to the Marlins for Saturday so that will be perfect to scrap for a spring layout.

[MazdaUK]

I wish I was going to Disney:sad2: :sad1:

Have a fantastic time! Can't wait to hear all about it:thumbsup2

[Honeybehr1]

If y'all want I'll post them for ya... Trust me, they are very basic but they work.

Please do. I love seeing everyones work:goodvibes

[threeboysmom]

Yay! I finally had the time to do some scrapbooking yesterday! :cheer2: Got another 5 pages done!

10 more to get a smilie! LOL!! :rotfl:

[MyGirlLovesMickey]

I've done 5 pages! I spend way too much time on each page, though. I'm trying to learn to simplify, and it's not going so well, LOL!

[Honeybehr1]

10 more for me. I just finished a quick 8X8 book for my son to take to school on our weekend vacation getaway to NY:woohoo: Now to do my bigger album of the same thing.

[rlovew]

Updated through here. I will do any additional updates Sunday night or Monday morning.

Rebecca

[RRBB]

Any size pages count as long as they are complete.Really? Any size? If things go like they did when DS was born, I'll be doing mini-albums for a while soon. When I say mini, I mean 4x3.75 or smaller. I made a 3x4 for myself that I still carry around, and the others for DH & MIL at various times during DS's first year. That was about all I could really find time to do during those first months.

[RRBB]

Please do. I love seeing everyones work:goodvibes
This is the Numbers album I just finished for DS. As I said before it is pretty basic, but for a 2 year old it works well.
http://www.smeechy.com/Scrapbook_Pages/Albums/NumberAlbum.gif

[RRBB]

And this is the this is the ABC Album I made for DS earlier in the month. Both albums are 6x6 so they are easy for him to handle. He loves looking at them during car rides.

http://www.smeechy.com/Scrapbook_Pages/Albums/ABC-Album.gif

[PrincessNancy96]

Cute books Robin! Those are adorable... :)

[StitchIsOurHero]

Those are great, Robin! Love the use of the sign language numbers and letters, too! :)

[MazdaUK]

Three more for me! Slow and steady wins the race....:goodvibes

[Mickster]

Both of those books are wonderful! Thanks for sharing them with us. :cutie:

[Honeybehr1]

Robin those are great albums. Thanks for sharing them.

I have a little Ian as well.

[mrsbornkuntry]

Does it count if the journaling isn't finished? If so, I finished 3 more pages. If not, only 2.

[RRBB]

Thanks for the album compliments. I really had fun doing them. Now if could only get the colors album finished for DS. I actually started it 2 1/2 years ago for DNiece when she was DS's age. Now she's beyond that so I need to change some stuff to make it for DS. And if I don't get my act together soon, I'll have to change it again for DD when she's old enough for it. :rotfl:

[Macca1111]

I got to scrap tonight! 20 more pages for me.

[Mickeyteacher]

I got 60 pages done today at an all day scraping retreat.
It was a good day!
Shawna

[tiggerfan6]

Went to a crop yesterday! 11 pages done.

[MyGirlLovesMickey]

I got 5 more pages done last night. That's a lot for me! :lmao:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I finished the Space page, so 15 more me please.

[rlovew]

Does it count if the journaling isn't finished? If so, I finished 3 more pages. If not, only 2.

It has to have journaling if you plan on having any on the page. If you are not journaling then it is done.

Rebecca

[rlovew]

I updated through here. MazdaUK- only 1 page from next smilie.

SIOH- you have 2 people close on your heals for the pages for the month.

Rebecca

I know! It looks like April will be a huge month on our Annual thread!! I keep thinking I'll have time to scrap each night, but I've had to bring work home every night--don't they realize state testing shouldn't get in the way of my scrapping??? :rolleyes:

[aroyer]

2 more for me. I was hoping for more, but the creative juices are just not flowing today. :sad2: Maybe tonight!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I finally got my work done for work this morning, and I got some time to scrap!! I got 2 CJ pages done to get me up to speed on that, and I got 25 pages done in my March album. I only lack 1 page having that book done!! I'm so excited!!

That gives me 27 for today, bringing me to 155 for the month. :banana:

Shawna, your all day crop retreat sounds great!! Congrats on getting so many pages done!! :thumbsup2

[aroyer]

I managed to get 2 more pages done!

[rlovew]

All caught up to here.

Rebecca

[LisaB]

add 5 more to me

[Honeybehr1]

I managed to do 23 :woohoo: pages this weekend - DH was away so I stayed up late. :surfweb: Bringing me to 87. My personal goal is 100 but not sure if I will make that. DS turns 4 on thursday and I have to do a major cleaning and his party is on saturday.

[rlovew]

I cam all caught up again. We are doing a fabulous job preserving memories this month.

Rebecca

[rlovew]

If all you do is place a single picture the right size on the page (like adding a photo to a wallet) I wouldn't count them- but if you are framing the photos, adding some journaling, adding embelishments, or such then I would say it counts. Sometimes when i have done small pages like that I have counted a 2 page spread as one page instead of 2.

Rebecca

[Faerie]

I got caught up on my swap stuff over the weekend, now to start my October Disney Trip album

[TPCShauna]

2 more for me. Yes, I know. Sad by the standards of other ladies on this thread! :rolleyes1

[BernardandMissBianca]

2 more for me. Yes, I know. Sad by the standards of other ladies on this thread! :rolleyes1

I'm right there with you! I'll never be able to touch Brooke's 155.

[aroyer]

I'm right there with you! I'll never be able to touch Brooke's 155.

Me either!!!

[Fran98765]

LOL I'll be lucky if I hit 5 this month, let alone 155! :lmao:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Really, we should give Brooke the crown now. She is doing awesome! :thumbsup2

[StitchIsOurHero]

Really, we should give Brooke the crown now. She is doing awesome! :thumbsup2

I'm just making up for all of those YEARS (not months, but years) when I didn't do any scrapping!! :) Plus, with the whole not coaching anymore thing, I have a little more time in the afternoons. I try to get some scrapping in before DH comes home. If we had kids, I don't know how I'd do it--I'd probably just say, "Honey, come look at the computer and see the pics mommy took of you, because they'll never be scrapped!!" :rotfl2: I don't know how you all do it!

[Fran98765]

2 more done to = 5! Go me! :cool1:

[PrincessNancy96]

Well, let me tell you.. with 5 kids.. it's a tough one... I think it's great if I can get anything done during the day.. even with them at school.. I can't get caught up on the housework to scrap most of the time... I have to change that!!
I won't get much more done in April.. but May.. is an off month from sports... only tournaments on the weekends.. no games after the first week in May.. so I'm determined to hit 100 in May.. if that means I have to go down and bury myself behind loads and loads of :laundy: I am going to get some scrapbooks accomplished!!!!!!!!!! If not... there are going to be problems..
My kids always ask to look at the pictures on the computer because I haven't had time to print them off yet...

[StitchIsOurHero]

Nancy, I don't know how you keep it all straight!! And with all of the sports, too! I would never be able to do it! :)

[MazdaUK]

3 more for me last night, and got a bit of swap stuff done. Not bad considering I've been suffering from the virus. Back at work today:headache:

[bobcat]

Three more for me. My problem is that I take too much time on one page. I am trying to simplify - I have too many pictures to be scrapped to go all out on them all - but I can't stop myself from embelishing. It's a sickness I tell ya!

[rlovew]

I edited the list through here. Mazda you earned your next smilie. Bobcat you are only 3 pages away from a smilie.

Rebecca

[RRBB]

I finished up 2 more pages last night, for a CJ. I think I finally fell into bed around 3am. Guess I'm practicing for the sleepless nights that are about to hit in a couple of weeks. :rotfl:

[mantaz]

I made a disney book for my DD this weekend so she could show off her trip at school. I also finished her baby book. At least all that I can for right now!!!! So I have 32 pages to add to my total this month. I am getting ready to start a new project. So now I have to finish cleaning up my scrap area so I can change gears and do beach vacation pages. I am very excited to start a new project!!

Everyone is doing great on completing pages. Love to hear that we have worked so hard on our passion!

[threeboysmom]

Can I say it again? WOWWWWWW Ladies!!! :thumbsup2

April is quickly running away from me here! Grrr... I plan on scrapping a ton today (of course, my definition of "ton" is like 5-7 pages! Some of you would say 30 pages = a ton! :rotfl2: ).

Hold me accountable!! :thumbsup2

[plgrn]

Add 14 more for me as well as the much coveted banana!! :banana: :cloud9:

[scrappinmom]

Well, I managed to do 8 pages yesterday....of course I got zilch else accomplished!!

hoping to go to a crop on Saturday......

[Fran98765]

1 more for 6 i think total this month. April's been bad for me. :)

[rlovew]

I updated through here. I had to take the smilie for 30 off those who had made it to 50 also since they wouldn't let me have but so many smilies in one post.

Rebecca

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think you will have to only give out one smilie per person soon. Or start using colors instead.

[rlovew]

Well that would mean everyone is doing great on scrapping up a storm this month so that would be a good thing.

Rebecca

[threeboysmom]

YAY!!! I did 7 pages today!!! I'd do more but have to get ready to go out. :( Hate when real life interferes with my fun! ;)

[rlovew]

I'm glad you were able to do the scrapping you wanted to do. I got you updated.

Rebecca

[bobcat]

2 more for me. I spent yesterday fiddling with ideas for the newbie MK swap so didn't get alot more accomplished. Need to get at least one more page done this month. I want that smilie!

[threeboysmom]

Isn't it funny that something as simple as a little smilie has the power to motivate us? LOL! 3 more pages until I get my first smilie! :rotfl:

[Yzerbear19]

I did 5 more. A pretty pathetic month for me. I have some layouts partially done, but need to get the Disney cartridges to finish them. Since I'm going away for the weekend and not taking my scrapbook stuff with me. I guess thats all I'm going to get for April. Hopefully May will be a better month.

[rlovew]

Updated through here. I will update our weekend pages on Sunday as we are taking a quick trip to Orlando to check out a seminary and then visit Disney. I would actually like a bit of time at home.

Hey, my BIL goes to seminary out there. It's called Reformed Theological Seminary, I believe. And I think it's in Oveido - near Orlando. It's so nice to have an excuse to go out there to "see family". Oh, and happen to throw in a big Disney trip too, LOL! :thumbsup2

Oh, you can add 3 more pages to my little total, and then I'll be doing a bunch more this weekend.

[JandJ]

Well, looks like my current total is my final total for the month. I'm going out of town for the weekend so I won't be getting any more pages done. I'm glad I got done what I did!

Good job to everyone who got pages done this month!! See you next month . . .

[MazdaUK]

9 for me today - nearly finished recipe books for both DS's, and I want to get them done this weekend. Down to the last few sweets now!:goodvibes

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'm done for the month too. I really HAVE to get my swap done first, so this weekend will be spent doing that.

[New England Eeyore]

I'm done for the month too. I have high hopes for May! I just need to knock out a few swaps first!
