I'm trying to get a few layouts done in between other projects (we're starting to build a ramp for the front door - MIL is moving in when she's released from rehab in about 10 days).
So far I've done one two-page layout with hiking photos from earlier this month and I'm halfway through a second two-page layout from the Primitive Arts Festival we went to after the hike.
[and no - I'm not caught up to this month - I scrap randomly but store chronologically and these photos were in the batch I received from Shutterfly this week]

Wow! You got a great start! Would love to join you, but will not be able to play with paper this weekend.
We have dinner theatre tickets with dd & hubby tonight, and need to drive to their home this afternoon. Will stay over a couple of nights, as dd & I have an art class (using barn boards, I think: she set it up) on Sunday and then I have a meeting to attend on Monday.
So a busy weekend for me, and a little crafty playing, but no scrapping.

I'll be making cards. I want to step up my donations (from 10 a month per cause to 20 a month) so I need to build up my stash for March mailings and beyond.

Probably not, although hubs put up my pegboard so I'll be installing my things back on it. Maybe that will motivate me later.

Yes, probably tonight. I'll be working on the last few pages of DD's high school album. If I'm diligent I might be able to finish it up this weekend.

I have pictures printed for a page about my best friend and I going on a road trip to Atlantic City. I subscribed to SC forever and bought a million pieces of paper from 2 peas. I can't find anything to go with them. Or I can't find anything to fit the vision I have. Am I the only one that this happens to?!?!?!?

I hope to get a little scrapping in at some point, but I am devoting my attention to reorganizing for now.

@elaynef it always amazes me that you are caught up! I really like the very thin black background behind a set of photos, would work well with my simple scrapbooking style.
As for getting photos on paper, I don't have any photos in the sizes I want. But you have inspired me to do more scanning of some photos and negatives so I can send in an order and make that happen!

I'm turning a 6x6 paper pad into a big pile of greeting cards. So crafting yes, but not scrapping. I haven't been motivated to scrapbook lately.

I will be in the evenings, after DS is in bed. I'm trying out Calvinball after seeing the thread about it here. So I'm making a few kits for that, and will be choosing photos soon.

3 Day crop at my LSS. It's insane crowded. maybe 40-50 people? This picture is the smaller 1/2 of the shop.  They had to split into 2 consecutive weekend crops because they are both completely booked. |

Yes and no. Not "real" scrapping. I still have a few of the sticky page albums that I need to get the photos out of. I decided awhile ago that I wouldn't scrap them because I would never get them out of those darn albums in a timely manner. I decided to just get the pics out and place them onto cardstock just as they were in the old album with the same notes/journaling (which was never much). I scan the good photos and make notes if there are any that I feel I might want to reprint for a traditional layout later. I started on Friday and completed 1994 to August 1996 tonight.
I feel like I accomplished something and I loved going through the old pics from when the kids were little. I noted about 6 that really stood out for me for future layouts.

I am working on an album about our trip to the Grand Canyon with my DD, son-in-law and two grandsons. The trip was 3 years ago. It is a combination of PL type pages and regular paper pages. I have also been watching videos on using mists and splatters as well as learning how to do layered clusters so I have been trying these new techniques out with the Grand Canyon album..
We took so many pics and I wanted to include most of them so I decided on an entire album which also includes the several days we spent at a resort on this trip.
Today (Sunday) will be limited because of church this morning and going to the theater this evening to watch our ds in a play.

I got a calligraphy set for my birthday so I'm working on that. And all of this talk here got me to organize a wee bit! I put 90% of my supplies into these little cube boxes and labelled them.  The only thing out on my desk are my stamps, current kits, and library of PL cards. I'd like to keep my stash small! I got all caught up on last week's PL spread, intentionally keeping it simple because the week before was a hot mess! Since I'm all caught up, I'm thinking about going back to do a PL album for 2014 to practice my skillz and use up some of my supplies. I think I have the opposite problem than a lot of people who have been scrapping forever, that I don't have *enough* to scrap! It might be expensive for more page protectors and an album and printing photos, but I definitely have enough paper and will collect more embellishments. What do you all think of that plan? I also posted a few blog posts and will probably post one more today. I have been making an effort to get up early even on the weekends and I'm seeing now that I'm quite productive when I do!  |

I scrapped two 12x12 layouts of my grandson with my Scraptastic December kit. Both very simple but I'm happy with them. Glad to be scrapping.
