(Elsabelle - stealing your words again this month)
Here is our thread for sharing our scrappy goals and progress. Do you have monthly scrap goals and yearly scrap goals? Is there anything new you'd like to try? Anything you'd like to do differently?

July is a super busy month for me and I'm not sure how much scrapping time I'll have - it might just be a memory-making month
DD17 is currently in Europe - she'll be home on th 5th (flies in just before midnight on the 4th)
My best friend flies in on the 5th for a week - we'll go to Legoland FL together while she's here
I take the GS troop camping on the 14th for a weekend
We're leaving on our epic 2-week road trip to my sister's wedding on the 21st (FL,GA,NC, WVA, VA, PA, NY, VT, Canada, VT, NH, ME, MA, RI and then down the east coast back to FL) - wedding is the 29th in VT
So my goals are to take lots of photos and hopefully do a little scrapping

These are the things I want to work on this month:
* back up photos (and everything else on my hard drive while I'm going)
* June month in review pages
* complete at least four layouts on older projects
* complete four other layouts
It's another cold day here today so I'm planning to spend some time scrapping just as soon as I've done the not so fun stuff like ironing.

I love scrapping travel photos. My goals are fluid this month. It totally depends on how many crops I get to. I am cropping from 3pm to midnight at an LSS when I go to CKC. Will be trying to finish the layouts I took to Expo and didn't get done. I may have one or even 2 of my regular crops depending when or if they are scheduled. If I have even one of them I will go back to current pics. But it looks like the LSS one may be the only one I can get to this month. |

My goal is to finish my December Daily album. I still have a couple final touches for my 2015 DD too...it would be awesome to finally sh both of them!
I cleared off my desk and got a few pages done earlier today! I just need to keep it up!
My other goal is to start organizing my kids sport/school photos.

I need to complete and send 10 cards for our CIJ exchange.
Also need to have created and distributed 1 bd card and 3 anniversary cards by the end of the month.
I have tons of photos I want to scrap, and hopefully at least some of them will find their way on to pages. But we have a busy month as well, so not sure how many pages I will actually complete. To keep up with a page per day for 2017, I need to complete at least 4 pages. Pretty sure I can do that.

I have vague goals.
I want to work on & finish layouts for a day trip I took in April.
I want to buy a sheet of pineapple patterned paper for a layout I'm going to do of my dd.
I have a large order coming from Snapfish, due mid-month. I know I'll want to play with those photos.

My goals this month. I have lots of crafty things for Christmas I want to get complete so I'm not frantic or just pushing it off in November/December.
But for just paper crafts:
* I HAVE to finish my 2 banner swaps (due the 14th)
* work on the 10 for 10 CIJ card exchange
* work on Christmas Cards for DH's business
If I get to doing Christmas layouts, great. If I get to challenge layouts, great. But I'm not going to put any pressure on myself.

Last night was our monthly ladies craft night and I totally killed it- got about 20 photos scrapped and a lot filled in where I had some blanks. I feel GREAT about that.
I have a baby due in 3 weeks so my July goals are a tad condensed for a shorter month:
-Have my husband edit and print all of our Aspen vacation photos from June
-Slip them all into my 6x8 PL album
-Finish the journaling for that album (it's halfway done and typed, but not printed/cropped)
-Print the last of my 2017 Jan-Jun photos
-Slip them all into my 6x8 PL album
-Once I get my maternity photos, print them, scrapbook them

_  My goal is the same: don't runout of photos. I finished my travel album and am ready to resume scrapping family. My embellishments have been unmanageable for a while. I started working on them yesterday and filled up a big trash can. I hope to work on them some more and be able to find what I need more quickly. My desk right now as you can see is not pretty . |

Linda , your road trip sounds amazing! I'd love a trip like that. My July goals are the same as my June goals. I'd like to finish my travel album that I started late last month. But...my summer months are so busy and at the same time so lazy that I will just say that I'll work on it if I have the time and if I feel like it. jamiebohbamie , I'm so excited for you! I love babies.

My current goal is to start printing pictures more frequently - I've realized I work better with a photo in my hand than an image on the computer. I've got to learn to work in smaller increments of time.

No scrappy goals as far as hitting certain numbers. But I have decided I really want to make a dent in my scraps. I have way too many, and my storage is overflowing.

DH took DD14 to Universal Orlando last month, so my goal is to get that album well underway
( or, dare I dream, finished? )
before they leave for their next trip in August.

It's been so hot lately that we've been hiding inside to avoid the heat. I've been doing batch style scrapping on my travel album and I've gotten all the pictures and patterned paper done and I've started embellishing.
Maybe I will finish it this month!

I've scrapped a lot more this month than I thought I would.
I've been working on a day trip that I took my kids on in April, but am just getting around to scrapping now. I had fear of messing it all up, so kept putting it off. But I really am enjoying putting it together now.
June was a photo heavy month, and my printed photos just came the other day. I scrapped one of them. So, about 70 more to go, LOL. But, June also included a day trip that I want to scrap just right, o I am gathering supplies for those photos, and don't want to mess it up.

Well it is the start of Week two of July, and I have done nothing scrapwise.
Hoping to get a few things done this week. On Sunday we are driving to see our ds's family (usually have to fly, but they are visiting a city closer to here), so I plan to take a year's worth of albums with me for the girls to look through. Before we go, I want to complete at least two additional pages about their adventures at the farm last summer. I already have several in last year's summer album, but still have a couple of sets of photos from then that have yet to find a home.
Also hoping to cut some Canada 150 symbols to put on my July calendar page: have an awesome 8x10 photo that is calling to me.

Can you believe we're almost halfway through June? Who's planning to tackle some scrappy goals this weekend?
I plan to get some photos backed up and make more kits to take to the expo next week. (And start packing my scrap supplies for the trip)

I'm mailing my swap items today.
I've completed 1 Christmas layout.
I did some CIJ cards that I'm not liking. I don't really like making cards anymore and it shows. I have to totally be in the mood to do them right.
I created 3 Christmas gift tags and then not feeling that anymore, ended up going online and getting printables which I colored some with copics and cut out.
I've completed 7 additional digital pages that were not on my goal list - most weren't even in my current photos/stories to tell log.

My main goal for July is to start putting together kits for a scrapping weekend I have in October. I know it's early but that way I know I have everything together instead of waiting until the last minute.
We are going on vacation at the end of the month and I want to get my photos downloaded and printed soon after vacation.

I have tons of photos I want to scrap, and hopefully at least some of them will find their way on to pages. But we have a busy month as well, so not sure how many pages I will actually complete. To keep up with a page per day for 2017, I need to complete at least 4 pages. Pretty sure I can do that. As of today, I have 7 pages completed, so any other LO's I accomplish will be gravy. I actually have another page started: or at least I have selected and trimmed the papers and have them with the photo and the cs. I am just waiting on one more piece so I can make the final rearrangements and then start gluing. Even though my pages have not been very complicated, it felt good just to play with photos and paper. Oh, and two of the 7 pages I did this month are of ds's girls for last summer's album. I also did a couple of pages with pix my ddil and one of my dgd's sent me Canada Day, so they will also have a page in THIS summer's album already (set aside a ton of photos of their cousins from June and July to scrap the girls before our road trip on Sunday) Oh well, those photos will be waiting for me when I get back to my scraproom... I have 9 CIJ cards started. One more front to create and then I can start assembling. Those ten cards will be out by the end of the month. On Wednesday at the LSS, I picked up papers and stickers for another couple of pages, but don't think I will get to them for a few more days. Over the upcoming 2 weeks, we will be away 3 days, and then have our ds & family here for 4 days, and my garden needs close watching in case it decides to take over my life. |
