PEAS I AM A DECLUTTERING GENIUS! So.... have any of you any thought of actually using the things in your stash in your albums? I just spent the day catching up on DD's 2022 albums and decided to jump right in and use those cards, and embellishments, and pretties...so that I get to actually SEE them and APPRECIATE them rather than constantly just reorganizing them into different containers and systems. I know, I truly am a genius... Stay on this forum for more life changing and stash busting decluttering tips and tricks Love it!! You’re brilliant!

It does not mean optimizing my entire life to be productive always.
I love this so much!

I am frosty. I still allow my Elle’s Studio sub and a small purchase for must-have, discounted add-ons from there to bundle with my kit, but I am being much more selective, at least that’s what I’m telling myself right now. We’ll see what happens come release tomorrow, but I plan to stay strong. I haven’t bought anything yet this month and am trying to use more!

Photoplay also made a gendered college line last year I bought some of this. I have a son and decided that the “girl” sticker sheet had more of what he enjoys. He’s not into sports or video games etc. I also bought both to use for my son. The colors weren’t really gendered, but some of the icons/stickers were.

Some great words in this thread!
I’ve been choosing a word since 2011, and have done the class a few times but never finished. I don’t plan to do the class this year. My word is THRIVE.
I want to Thrive at work by being engaged, proactive, and providing sound leadership. I want to Thrive at home by getting rid of things we don’t need, clearing out the clutter and everything weighing us down. I want my physical and mental health to Thrive by being more active, eating healthier, and connecting with family and friends. I want to Thrive in my hobby by scrapping more, and scrolling/buying less.

Funny that I got an email for this class yesterday after mentioning it here! I do wish it had a discount to go with it. It's on sale now. Use the code SPRINGDEAL to make it $18 (40% off). I bought it! I’m glad I waited!

OLW - I will choose a word and maybe do a layout or two, either TN or 6x8, to put with my previous words, and maybe a card in my PL. I’m not doing the class…it’s too angsty for me.
PL - I plan to do this and hopefully be more consistent.
JYC/DD - absolutely!
I’d like to do an All About Me album during my birthday month.
Other projects: I want to finish my JYC/DD for 2022 and 2023
Finish a trip album
Senior Memories album for my son
And then other random scrapbooking and projects as I go.
Not sure about WITL or DITL. Probably not.

Should any class sales be coming up? I’d like to get lasteve1’s Plan Prep Play class sometime. I’m thinking of joining this class too. Funny that I got an email for this class yesterday after mentioning it here! I do wish it had a discount to go with it.

I have mine on top of a low bookshelf, so I think a kallax (or equivalent) would work well.

No crafty presents, but I’ve been doing a lot of after Christmas online shopping of the sales. Without an LSS, it’s too hard to try to give a list to my perpetually last-minute shopper DH, so I ask for other things, then by scrappy presents to me from me. It’s win-win!

I love the Snow Much Fun and am SO happy with the color combo and that it doesn’t include Pink! I’m trying to decide what to get, because I really don’t need to spend $100 on a single collection, but that’s what I had in my cart after selecting everything I liked. Now to pare that cart down!

Nope. Nope. NOPE. I don’t need plastic doll skin/bandaid color in my scrapbooking (or home decor). Pass.

I've grown more frustrated with the stereotypical feminine & floral domination of the industry regardless brand or theme (& the few exceptions often having an odd yellow-dominate color palette that is equally unusable for me). Hoping the industry gets out of its feminine/floral rut for 2024... You could be my scrapbook bestie! Ditto! Pink does NOT need to be in every single collection. I’d like some variety in color schemes.

If you have taken other classes from SCT ( not Crop and Create) you get an alumni discount. Thanks for mentioning this. I was excited to possibly get a discount and that was going to push me over the price hurdle to sign up, but now I’m really disappointed that C&C alumni aren’t offered the class discount. That would have been a good way to transition those customers over to class content customers. As it is, I probably won’t sign up.

"Let's get lost" in travel collections, especially ones that are more mountain/trail/woodsy...nope, I do not want to get lost in the middle of nowhere on my vacation. Exactly! The bears will eat me! I also don’t like “All who wander are not lost.” Maybe they aren’t, but they need to pick up the pace because I’ve got somewhere to be! 🤣 The Mountains are Calling and I Must Go is another. Why does this have to be in every outdoors collection? There are a lot of outdoor adventures NOT in the mountains. And I get altitude sickness, so I’m not really driven to go.

I said that even though AC says that “pink sells” crafters and artists need variety. Not every collection needs pink.

NO I did not. But their description did not say that there would be a swag. I was not expecting it considering this one is a smaller event. Sorry for the confusion. My original description included ‘some really fantastic swag’ and when I look at the description now it is no longer there. I was wondering about the swag too. I like the album, but wish the spine was bigger like the SC/AE and SS Holiday albums. I will likely use a different album with a larger spine, since I pack my DD full, and save this album for a difficult project.

Yes, it sticks. I did that for a title page in one of my December Daily albums.

I’m going to a retreat in November, so I need to prep for that by printing photos and journaling and making kits, and maybe doing some stitching ahead of time. I also am thinking of starting my JYC/DD 2022 to try to finish that by December. Plus maybe work on PL. •prep for retreat •print photos for JYC 2022 •JYC 2022 •PL pages ✔️•add journaling to completed pages ETA: •SCT card event classes (Th &F classes done) October is a busy month, so we’ll see what I actually accomplish! I’ve added journaling to a lot of LOs, so they are now completely done! I’ve also been making cards from the SCT event. I need to get busy prepping for the retreat in November!

Also, I have some goat cheese and I don't know what to do with it. How do you all eat it? We were going to make a dish but it's not going to happen so now I have it. Trader Joe's has their seasonal Pepper Jelly out right now...I believe it's on the shelves from October-December-ish. It tastes amazing spooned over goat cheese. I set out with pita chips or crackers and it's always a big hit. I love goat cheese! The previous recommendations are great - I also like it on a burger. 👍❤️
