[TN Traveler]

I want to play this month! I have several pages that are completed except for some journaling or some last minute touch ups. When I get everything finished, I'll post numbers here.

Karen aka TN Traveler

[wtpclc]

OK, I know I'll complete 4 cj pages and I'm really hoping to do 40+ pages in dh's home improvements book. I'm probably dreaming on that one though.

[Honeybehr1]

I will try and get some done. I am hoping to beat last month :rotfl:

[rsjj]

just curious...how does the monthly challenges work? can someone please explain? thank you! :flower:

[bubbasmom99]

I'm in! I have a ton of kits sitting around just screaming for pics :)

I have all my swap goodies that need homes on layouts.

And I am taking a trip to Disneyland this weekend and Disney World in 2 weeks so I will have lots of inspiration!!

[goofymom/pop]

you just post here how many pages you complete..thats it! Simple as pie. The winner sometimes gets a little something from the hostess but not always. The fun is getting inspired to get some pages into an album. So post away!!!

I will play too.....not sure what I will do but I want to try!

[Queenie]

I'm in on this one, need to finish off my friend's wedding album in time for Christmas Day! I've done a whopping 1 page so far this month, hoping to do some more today (gotta do speeches/sit down meal, bridesmaids, 1st kiss, final congrats page, cutting the cake, signing the register, evening reception and a crowd shot.) Eep!

Will post up the album when it's finished.

[GrayFal]

Hello from WDW....Count me in....ZERO!

[Soccer Princess]

I'm in! I need to start and finish my Grandpa's scrapbook (aka Christmas Present!). I have a feeling my all-nighters won't end after finals! haha :)

[rsjj]

oh, that simple! thank you for explaining!! :flower:

[TN Traveler]

Put me down for 24. I started several pages in November but had journaling or some embellishments to put on them so finally have these done. Probably won't get many more completed w/the Christmas season upon us and SOMETHING going on EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Climbed into bed at almost 2am...and here it is my grand total of pages done.............................................. ................................................














"0"
:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

But I got my winter year round swap items done...so I am now completely finished with that swap! :)

[Honeybehr1]

I have only gotten 7 done so far. I am going to a CM crop on friday the 9th so hopefully I will get a lot done. Wont count on it becaue its only for 4 hours and I tend to talk LOL

[JudithM]

I'll play! I have to finish a recipe sb for a wedding one week from today. The sb has to be completed no later than this coming Wednesday - eeeeekkk!

LOL!!! Sorry, Cindy, I'm not laughing at you, but at what you said or rather how you put it!!

[Soccer Princess]

I've got 3 done so far!!

[cobbler]

I am in this month. Hoping to beat my big fat 0 from the previous month.

[pjlla]

Well... I'm hopping in, but with very little hope of accomplishing much this month. I had grand hopes of doing a Family Tree album this month, but I took a BIG dose of reality and realized that there is NO WAY I would do any justice to this thing if I tried to get it done in under 30 days. So I am putting that off until Spring. I'll work on finishing our 2004 WDW trip!.............P

[wtpclc]

Ok 2 pages completed. I also got 10 in my book Fiday night, but not journaled yet. A good start for me, though.

[Twigs]

I'm going to play this month, so far I have 12.

[FantasticDisFamily]

COunt me in! I must, must, must get some scrapping done this month!!!!

Deb

[JudithM]

I just finished scanning 68 pages of the recipe scrapbook (8 1/2 x 11) for a wedding gift. It is completely finished! It's either feast or famine for me :)!

[goofymom/pop]

you go girl!! wow! I haven't done a page this month...been busy paper piecing...lol

[Twigs]

Way to go JudithM!! :cool1: I got another 2 pages done. This is a very challenging month with the holidays, but I am hoping this thread will motivate me to do some late night scrapping and gradually chip away at my Hawaii photos.!

[WDWMom]

All totals are updated at this time. None for me. I need to get to work.

[wuv tigger]

and that is all I may get done this month.

BUT, it is more than I have gotten done in the last 3 months.

Judy

[goofymom/pop]

on the board.......................


with ......

1



lol.. :rotfl: :rotfl: I think October drained me.....lol :rotfl:

[pjlla]

Well, I manage to buy some sort of scrapping supply for myself every time I go Christmas shopping, but I have yet to finish even one page this month! If those darn teachers would just stop calling in sick, maybe I could stay home! (JK.... I really like the paycheck!)..............P

[Twigs]

Got one more done. With me not even being close to being done for Christmas, I don't think I will be getting a lot done.

[Alice28]

I'm on board with a whopping 4. I have hundreds of pictures to scrap though- so behind and I want to get caught up before my DH comes home in a MONTH! :cool1:

[FantasticDisFamily]

Well I managed to get 7 pages in DS's Brazil trip book done over the weekend. And wouldn't you know it last night DH comes home from a meeting and brings me pics from one of the adults that went on that trip. Most are from a later part of the trip but 1 - the guide holding up this HUGE snake - belongs in a layout I finished! AARRRGGGHHHH. Any suggestions on how to work this in? DS REALLY wants that included as he hadn't managed to get that particular photo.

Deb

[WDWMom]

Updating complete

[Alice28]

4 more for me yesterday...hope to accomplish more today.

[wtpclc]

What a bummer Deb! Can you blow it up and have it be it's own page next to the one it belongs with?

[Queenie]

7 Pages to add on to this. Hoping to do a few more soon.

[Honeybehr1]

I wasnt able to go to the scrap event last weekend due to a snow storm but I have been working on a project for my son and I now have 50 pages in. But my scrap table looks like a bomb hit it and its going to take me days to get re-organized. :flower:

[Soccer Princess]

I did 20, yes that's right 20 pages today in my Grandpa's scrapbook! It's amazing how productive I am when the internet isn't working. This brings my total upto 23 for the month so far. :)

[FantasticDisFamily]

Wow! Some of you are really cruising! Good for all of you!

Carrie - nope can't blow it up since I don't have the negative - this is definitely a film print. And then I'd have a blank back to the page I insert. I'm going to have to go back to those pages and really look at them. Maybe I can do some prying up and rearranging on one of them. Wish me luck!

Deb

[JudithM]

Deb, how about adding a smaller page? There was a thread not long ago about putting in 8.5" x 11" pages in a 12" x 12" book. Just a thought ... I've had to do the prying & rearranging, too.

[WDWMom]

Updated again

[cobbler]

I know I know I am still at ZERO. I haven't had much time at all this week. I figure if I can just make it through the next 2 days . . . .

I already told my hubby this weekend is going to be a ME weekend and I don't want to be pestered. I am working all weekend on my books!

[wuv tigger]

Considering I have completed 000000 pages for the last 2 months I am excited.

I got to work on my Christmas album to get it caught up from 2004. I did a really cute layout & have the albums ready to share with our families over Christmas! I am SO happy as these are the only albums that I am caught up in.

Have a great day.

Judy

[goofymom/pop]

give me a few days to journal and I will finally be up and running this month. Trying to get 4 pages per day done without journaling. Doing pretty good, have about 10 more to go by Saturday.....lol!

[wuv tigger]

I put dd's 1st day of school pix in her school album. She was so excited to see the pages that it has given me motivation to do more :cool1:

I will post back later if I get any more pages done tonight.

Judy

[Alice28]

so far I'm at 16.....not great....but not bad for December!

[wuv tigger]

I am SO thrilled! This is the 1st time in months that I have scrapped.

I am so thankful for the monthly challenges. It has helped me get over 50 pages done for the year!

Judy

[JudithM]

I am glad I completed the pages I did this month (heck! it was a wedding gift!). However, since I already won once this year, I will pass as a winner if my total is still the highest at the end of the month. Let someone else have the pleasure of a win :)!

[FantasticDisFamily]

Didn't get any scrapping done this weekend, but I DID manage to get all the gifts wrapped, packages that needed shipping shipped, and all that sort of stuff. So I am crossing my fingers that come Thursday and beyond when I am done working for the holidays I will be able to get some SERIOUS scrapping done.

Deb

[WDWMom]

I completed 19 pages in my dad's book this weekend. Have many more to go, but I am happy with what I have so far.

Totals updated

[goofymom/pop]

parents loved it!!! and left room for additional Christmas' to come.

Done for the month.....whew!!!!

[cobbler]

I am finally on the board. I spent all day Saturday and half of Sunday doing the 2 books for my dad. Got one of them done and 4 pages in the second one.

I have completed 25 so far. I have to finish the other one before Xmas :) It really felt good to get back to scrapping

[Alice28]

Another 4 done for me....it seems that is the most I can get done in one sitting these days.

[wtpclc]

OK, I put a few more in dh's book, but stll not jouraled. AT least I'm making progress.

Now to finish shopping...

[wuv tigger]

I am so :cool1: !

Thanks to these wonderful challenges I am finally getting more pages done.

I just heard that dh will be on travel for up to 4 weeks in Jan. 06. I gotta get pages done before he leaves. It's just too hard to try to get anything done while he is away.

Judy

[wuv tigger]

I can't believe HOW much I have gotten done!

thanks for the encouragement to join the challenge!

Judy

[TN Traveler]

Put me down for 4 more pages. I have several more than I need to journal so I'll add more before too long. Now that the kids are out of school for a couple weeks, I'm able to stay up late and get pages done. I'm having so much fun working on our cruise album. Wish I was going on another one!!
My step son is coming in from TX Friday so after that I'm not sure if I'll have much time to scrap but hope so.
Have a great week everyone.
Karen

[cobbler]

I did one more bringing my total up to 26. I really have to work on that album on Friday and Saturday since it is my dad's Xmas present.

Thank goodness he isn't coming over until Monday.

[TN Traveler]

I'm having SO Much fun working on this cruise album!! I finished 11 pages since last posting. I bought 2 cruise kits from Scrap Your Trip and it has really helped me get these pages done. I just finished our Formal night pictures and now going for the Midnight Buffet. My pictures from Tulum will taje a while b/c I took ALOT but I have found some awesome ideas off 2 Peas and have some really cool paper I bought when the CKU was here in March. I'm hoping they'll go pretty fast. I hope when I work on the Hawaii album it'll go this fast too. :goodvibes

Have a GREAT day!!
Karen aka TN Traveler

[cobbler]

Between Friday and today I finished 30 pages and I am done with the books for my dad :)

I have done 56 so far for this month. That will probably be it for the month but who knows.

[Honeybehr1]

I am still at 50. I havent done anymore and still cant see my scrap table. I cleaned it and now it is covered once again . Dh did get me lots of scrapping things for Christmas and a couple of organizational things so that will help.

I am having knee surgery tomorrow so I wont be scrapping anytime soon. I am not sure when I will be able to sit at the computer or at the scrap desk. But it will give me time to read the instruction manual for my new digi camera.

[WDWMom]

Only a couple more days ladies. I have updated the front page again. Not sure how many pages I did for my dad's book. I didn't keep track. I am scrapping today, but I don't plan on getting much done.

[PIRATEGIRL007]

I know it's late, but I finally got some scrappn' done this month. You don't have to add me to the list, I'm just happy to finally get back on track! Christmas Eve I had to finish 8 gift albums! :earseek: :earseek: Thanks to my angel of a cousin and some major power scrappin' we got them done! 120 pages 8 x 8 pages in 6 hours!
I hope to get some done tommarrow and thur, I really need to finish my 04 disney albums so i can get started on the disastrous 05 trip!

[TN Traveler]

WOW! I'm impressed! There's no way I could get that many pages done in such a short period of time! I'm moving along w/my Cruise album but have found a few blips when it comes to scrapping these Tulum pictures. I wanted to put some history of Tulum in here so have had to do research on it. It's been interesting to say the least! Since my journaling isn't finished yet, I won't count any more pages but so far I have almost 5 more pages done. I love this time out of school. The kids are playing well together and I'm having time at night after dinner to scrap. When they go back to school next week and have to go to bed at 8:30 and up at 5:30, my numbers will drop drastically!! ..... as will my energy level!! :rotfl:

Have a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!! :wizard:
Karen

[WDWMom]

Today is the last day. Please post as soon as you can tomorrow if you get anything done today. I will try to check on the 1st but we'll see how I feel. DD is having a party and we're having some friends over. Not sure how later we will be up.

[wtpclc]

Unfortunately, I don't have any more to add, but I did make a lot of starts. Hopefully January will see a lot of finished pages!

[WDWMom]

Did anyone do more than 68 pages in Dec??? If not, JudithM you are the winner!!!! I think I can find your address from scarping, if not, I'll let you know.

[JudithM]

I am glad I completed the pages I did this month (heck! it was a wedding gift!). However, since I already won once this year, I will pass as a winner if my total is still the highest at the end of the month. Let someone else have the pleasure of a win :)!

Please allow the second place person to be the winner - I've won once this year, so I would like someone else to be the winner!

[WDWMom]

OK Cathy.

That makes Cobbler the winner. I will contact her directly as she lives near me.

[FantasticDisFamily]

I managed to do 60 through New Year's Eve - sorry I didn't post sooner - I was pretty busy New Year's Day and yesterday! COngrats Cobbler!

Deb

[cobbler]

Well then Deb should be the winner :)
