I would like to join up for the challenge. Now that the weather is changing I need to sit down and get caught up on my kids album. Well, first I guess I need to dust off my stuff :laughing:
ok... guess I need to get off the computer..... that is my first goal....

Wow does that seem SO far away!

I did 13 pages last night at my friends house. We watched two movies and I think that slowed me down. Both had McDreamy in them. I couldn't concentrate on my scrapping. I will be working on more tonight.

Sorry--I just lurk a lot. Do you just "join" and try to get pages done in your books? If this is so, I will join. Don't know how it will go for me. I am not so good at making pages. I have seen some really beautiful pages posted. I was just trying to get pictures organized. I have "played" at scrapping off and on for years. Anyway, I have made 3 pages so far this month, but I am the one with the glue problem and the pages are wrinkled, so you might not want to count them. :confused3 I will get to the store later today for different glue and maybe get more pages done. Thanks, Melissa

Wow does that seem SO far away! Good to "see" you, too. I hope I'll be able to go to GASC next summer. The dates aren't posted yet, but if it's the same weekend as this year I won't be able to go. We have a family wedding to go to up in Connecticut the first weekend of June and I don't think I can skip it for scrapbooking. :rolleyes: Keeping my fingers crossed that it's the next weekend!

Robin,

2009 GASC is June 4-6.:flower3:
Hope that will work for you. If not, there are alot of nice CT gals
on here that would welcome you to scrap with them
when you're there for the wedding :rolleyes1

I think of you when I see my tiara in my scrapbook room! :hug:

Marylee pixiedust:Well darn! The wedding is on the 7th so we'll probably be leaving here on the 5th for whatever events and activities they'll have planned. I'd say I'd go on the 4th but I know I'll be going crazy packing and such. Guess I'll catch y'all in 2010.

(Maybe I'll take my my tiara and pretend I'm there with y'all! ;))

You just join in and let us know when you finish pages- NEE will keep up with how many you are doing. The point is to encourage each other to actually finish pages and albums. You don't have to post any of them but you can. Some people get just a few done in a month other get 100 or more but everyone is a winner if they get some pages scrapped.

I'm in and these are my goals for the month:

10pages (down 5 from last month but with a reason!)
At least 2 sets of the "Weird Everyday" swap, the reason for above
and "Make A Wish" pages done.
I like keeping track on here as it makes me feel like I accomplished something!

What would you give me for a "Potty Points" poster I did? :rotfl: I used many scrapbooking elements. :lmao: cricut, stickles, acid free markers, stickers

Seriously, my 2yo DD is potty training and I spent naptime today making a poster for stickers. When it is completely full, we go to WDW!! Wahoo. (we are going anyway, but she doesn't know that)

Fun idea! You be the judge of how many layouts the poster is comparable to.

2 for me tonight. I started to work on some pages, then decided my work space was so cluttered I had to clean it up first. Then I decided I had to clean the kitchen up before I could clean up my scrap room. Now here it is bedtime and I never did get back to the scraproom. Figures.

Hey Ladies! I am in again this month! I moved this weekend and started to unpack my scrapping stuff today before my clothes are even unpacked...priorities! haha! I did two pages so far today...my DH is at school tonight so I plan on finishing off some more!

Also, I just joined this subforum last month...where do i post the numbers of pages I finished in September that I didn't total yet, and the total from January on?

Hope everyone is having a lovely fall day! :hippie:

Once you have a single number for any pages in Sept not counted and those for Jan-August then post the number on the Annual sticky at the top of the page so that Buffy or SIOH can add it to the annual total.

3 more pages for me.

LindaBabe
10-07-2008, 08:26 PM
This doesn't count for the month challenge because I didn't do them this month, but they should count for the year total.


38 scrapped pages (& an 86 page trip report for our 6 week spring trip.)
150 more pages for Give Kids the World (SplishSPlash, and It's a Jungle) no photos, of course.
40 pages - 80th birthday Album (including interviewing the subject, and collecting input from 20 other people.)
20 page 6X6 cruise album - (it started as a kit by Seaulater, but I took liberties, and it's completed)
(26 pgs)130 fish extender gifts - cricutted film strips with 4 photos on a backing, laminated - I guess I'd count 4 as a page - eh say 5, it comes out more even
2 "my favorite photos" Library card books - they should count as at least a page a piece, don't you think?


Oh, and then there's CKC . . . completed so far

10 page Disney Board book, from a kit - with doodling done, but no photos (not sure if I'll use it or gift it)
10 page heavy cardstock book - not exactly chipboard, but heavier than regular cardstock - with pull outs, minibooks, flipdowns, tag books. It's cute -all inked and beribboned, it was worth the frustration. Again, no photos, for the same reason.


I'll have to count the pages I completed that were 'just' pages. Oh, and the pages I've done in my Christmas cookbook. . . gee. I got done more this year than I thought :goodvibes I'm HAPPY!

Oh I see now, I posted this in the wrong place. argggggggggggggh! :scared: OK I moved it - just disregard the whole thing!

+1 for me.

I'm not getting pages done very quickly right now. But at least I'm getting some done. I thought having both kids in school would give me more time to scrap, but so far it hasn't worked out that way. :confused3 I guess being room parent for both classes is keeping me busier than I'd anticipated.

I would love to see it when you get done. All my wedding photos are in boxes & I'm scared to go ahead & do my albulm. We didn't get the fancy albulm they sell. We just got a set of prints. And I have several friends that took pictures, so I'll need to get them all organized & then start. I'm thinking about using the "Once Upon a Time..." albulm & papers, stickers, etc. Of course, I'll add some of the Disney wedding ones in there too.

let's hope this will be my major comeback month! I've got 2 done so far....


I know it doesn't sound that impressive but I fianlly finished the 07 vacation album and did the Title page for my June 08 WDW vacation album. I love scrapping DISNEY and have 1/2 a weekend later this month devoted to just scrapping....so I hope the numbers start rolling in for me.:goodvibes

Yes, the 6x6 pages count. We count all completed pages, regardless of size.

6 pages for me last night. I think October is going to be more of a swapping month than a scrapping month.

Even though it's kind of late into the month, count me in. I got 1 done the other night. It might be the only one I get done this month. We are leaving for the World in less than a week. Maybe November will be better. Ugh! I'm so far behind. I really need to get back into a groove.

I'm in. I have just 2 pages left to finish summer and then a 12 day WDW trip to scrap. I would love to get 12 done this month. I think I might actually make my goal for 2008.
I have 2 done I have a looong way to go. But I sure bought a lot of scrapbook stuff this weekend if that counts :)

People are welcome to post their pages for people to see if they would like, but there is no requirement to do so. This is just a way for us to keep a tally for ourselves of how many pages we get completed, and to encourage/motivate each other to continue working on our scrapbooks. We do a challenge like this every month to keep track and then our monthly totals get tallied into our annual total (which is a sticky at the top of the board).

Great! Are you going to enter it into the challenge? I'd love to see it!

I'm not sure it's really challenge worthy because it's so simple but I'll probably post it anyhow just because it was the challenge that inspired me to finally get it done. It's not one of my typical layouts - no journaling, no stickers, do-dads or other accessories. Just a series of 3 pictures that I've had prints of forever now (taken when my 5 year old was 2) and needed to do something with. :rotfl: I figured the series of pictures spoke for themselves and I found papers in my stash that worked really well with them. I mercilessly ripped some cardstock then ripped another piece for good measure and put them together in a way that resembles a scrapbook page. It works for me and I finally got those pictures in my DD's album.:woohoo:

New England Eeyore
10-15-2008, 09:50 PM
Any page that was done for the challenge is challenge-worthy! And I'm sure it's terrific. Now you know I just *have* to see it what with the merciless paper ripping and all. I have to see how you tamed that layout into submission. ;)

Everyone knows I'm trying to get DS #1's 1st year done before DS #2 shows up in mid-January. Any suggestions? I've never hosted one at my house before. They can come & go as they please - open house type thing. I asked them to bring food to share. Any ideas would be great. I have another one planned for November.

You can never have too much table space. Also don't have out stuff (stamps, paper cutter, cricket machine, etc.) that you don't want to share. If you're very possesive about something (I am with my stamp pads) then just put them up and you won't be stressed out.

Mostly people just wanted to get together and have an excuse to scrap. I'm sure it will go great!
