My 1st goal is no spending. I'm having a Dry July because I ended June in a blaze of glory. I survived the Independence Day sales. Yay! And so far with 6 days in I have no desire to buy anything. I just keep telling myself "there will be other sales" and "I have product that hasn't even been opened yet."
2nd, I have a bunch of card backgrounds, images colored, sentiments die-cut, sentiments embossed, etc. Two bins worth of stuff. My plan is to get them put together and finish these WIP cards. If these items don't get used they're getting tossed in the recycle bin.
ETA: 3rd, I just got my pre-order of the Popsicle stamps today. My plan is to send out Happy Summer cards to my Christmas list people.

My goals are to order photos, and to finish all of last year's school photo layouts before the new school year starts again.
I did order my June photos, and they shipped already. Yay!
Another goal is to make myself buy trimmer blades and adhesive. Gah! All that money, spent on boring stuff. I'd like more black cardstock too. I'm out.

My goal list for July is very short:
: finish mini album of last fall’s vacation so I can maybe start one of my other 15 mini albums of birthday parties and trips I plan to do
: print photos of Yellowstone vacation
: make a birthday card for my nephew.
All very doable!!!

My goals: 1. get photos uploaded to computer, edited, and printed by end of July, including upcoming camping trip
2. 15 layouts - have 3 done already, but week of camping looms!
3. eat in a relaxed way while camping, but clamp back down once home. That's soooo hard for me - I have no "medium" switch, I'm
either eating whatever the heck I want, or I'm a saint and live on protein and salad!!! Can somebody PLEASE hold me to the
switch back to diet-land next weekend?

I bought another set of 49 and Market stamps, they're like mixed media background type stamps so I really want to use them on a LO and do a cool mixed media background. I just want to use the new products I got recently!

My July goal is 50 layouts. I have 25 done so far.
I want to keep up with current photos.
I'd like to actually complete 2 albums that I have thought were completed and I keep finding a few more photos here and there that go in those albums.
I have been working on living history photos for over a year. I should be finishing 3 time periods leaving me with all of my 1860's photos and about 1/4 or less of my 18th century photos. But I am going to put those aside when I finish these albums. I need a different subject for awhile.

I finished four- 50 page albums this weekend. Two were 2000 that needed journaling and two were 2001. Woot. I also have about 5 feet of paper on my floor that need to be organized and put in puppy proof boxes. Check!
I also get Scrapbook Generations boy kits and made 8 of those pages.

My July goals:
- Finish 9 weeks of Project Life: March 26, 2018 through May 27, 2018.
- Finish 2018 WITL
- Finish 2017 December Daily (this is laughable, but I'm going to try).
- Spring clean my house (My craft room is the worst in the house, so this counts, right?)
I have vacation days July 10-15, and my husband has to work, so I'll just be at the house. I want to get as much done in Project Life and spring cleaning this week as I can. Wish me luck!

But I am going to put those aside when I finish these albums. I need a different subject for awhile. I met my goal of 50. I actually did 5 more than that. Almost all of them are put away in albums but I have to readjust the albums because they are too fat. I have a crop at the end of the month and would like to get 10 done of current photos.
I did complete the living history albums I wanted to finish. I am moving on from living history photos for awhile. I am trying to decide between fixing my wedding album so it doesn't embarrass me, or launch into my years living in Arizona.
And then of course son and his gf are going to get 3D ultrasound photos next week courtesy of me, so I will scrap those at my first opportunity.

I'd like more black cardstock too. I'm out. If you ever get black cardstock from Hobby Lobby, don't get their cheap stuff. It shreds something awful on one direction of cuts. Terrible unless you want frayed edges! |

Update - Day 16 I haven't spent any crafting money! WooHoo! High Fives! I got Jennifer McGuire's email on sales today. I only read the title and promptly deleted it! And sadly I did not buy the $198 Scan n Cut from Amazon. It's back up to $224 today and I'm OK with that. I've used a few items from my WIP bins and sent out 18 "Thinking of you this Summer" cards. I sent them last Saturday using the Popsicle USPS stamps. In a few days, when people receive them, I'll post them on my IG account. |

Terrible unless you want frayed edges! The American Crafts textured cardstock does the same thing. I have little "threads" of paper everywhere. |

Update -
1. No spending - Well I almost made it. I bought a backup TH Stamp Platform. But I didn't buy any stamps, ink or paper!
2. I got my two WIP bins down to less than one bin.
3. I sent out my "Thinking of you this Summer" cards. I used one Doodlebug Sweet Summer 6x6 pad and one coordinating sticker pack. The cards are posted on my IG smayer.crafts . Not my usual style to use only paper and stickers. But I think the cards came out cute.

I just want to use the new products I got recently! They have some gorgeous flowers too! I found some great stamps at joann online, different stitches I love them, and I'm not a stamper:) |

I finished my 2017 pocket page/PL album tonight. I have two more weeks before school starts, so I'm hoping to make a start on my June pages. I do a monthly event-based album.
I took a long break in about 2005 after doing 12x12 layout albums for a number of years. Started back with a 30 Days of Thankful mini in 2014, then started pocket pages in 2016 but only have that one done through August. But I'm happy to have 2017 finished, and have good intentions (and more than enough supplies!!!) for this year.

I finally got some scrapping in today. I worked on school photos from the past year. Finished several layouts. They were fairly simple layouts, but I'm glad they're in the albums.
I'm hoping my mojo continues.

linda, I reckon you can take the rest of the year off after all you achieved in July!  I did use my new stamps and mixed media products in July! I also started a mixed media challenge for August so hopefully I'll use my stash a bit more.
