I'm in but it'll be a while before I can scrap (all the more reason not to shop) since we're about to move - closed this morning

Man I love this! And I sure need to slow my roll when it comes to shopping, but I also know better than to try and commit like that. I'll cheer you all on!

I'm a small stash, uber slow crafter. I'm not sure I could do 50 layouts with what I have in stash. And also, I think it might take me a year to do 50 layouts anyway. So I'm committing to 20 layouts and the only thing I'll buy is my monthly kit. I think I can do that. 20 layouts is a lot for me.

Question for everyone. At the 50-page milestone, will you give yourself a spending limit? Are you planning to “pay” yourself for each completed page or for used product somehow? I’ve seen others who put $1 (or other amount) per completed page or used up item into the spending “balance” that can be used at the milestone. Limit, what limit? LOL Honestly, my spending varies month to month. I think if I make it to 50 layouts, I will buy whatever catches my fancy. I think of it as my way to help the economy during these uncertain times. I already have a few items in mind... and although I finished a few layouts, I am going to start counting layouts towards 50... NOW!

I’m doing some batch scrapping today for an album I’ve been meaning to work on for a long time. I used the most recent RTS 4for4 cutting guide and it’s moving along quickly. I’ve already got the paper and pictures adhered and now I’m working on embellishments.

I am in, as well. I would like to shop for my birthday in May, so I'll aim to complete them before then. I may set up an Instagram account for this, we just have to agree on a hashtag.

Besides the money I got for Christmas, I'll join. It's really not a lot to spend anyway. I've been scrapping a long time and my "bigger" purchases are after Christmas and my birthday. I have the spending under control, it's getting actual pages done. Since this thread began, I have done 2 pages; so I'm at 48.

I can't join. I popped in Hobby Lobby today near my mom's because I don't have one near me and bought some stickers and paper on sale. I only scrap at crops so there is no way I could keep myself from buying in between crops unless there is just nothing I want.
I don't need anything. Not one thing.

we're about to move - closed this morning Did you post about this? Upsizing, downsizing or same? New town/state? same area - we're currently on the outskirts of a rural town on 4 acres in a doublewide. We're moving to the outskirts of the same town on the other side (walking distance to DH's job - about a mile) to an actual house (brick) on 1.3 acres in an actual neighbourhood. We're gaining some square footage but not a big change. Lots more storage though and a better layout. I'll have a craft room. It's 2 stories - ground floor has craft room, living room, dining room, awesome kitchen with a breakfast nook, master bedroom with en suite, utility room and powder room. First floor has 3 bedrooms -one with an en suite, 2 that share a jack and jill bath, and a big bonus room for DH's hobbies/collections. There's a 2 car garage, large shed/workshop, screen room off the living room. It's our first 'real' house - we were in flats and then 2 different mobile homes on land...I'm super excited.

I completed 1 page today... 49 to go!

Congratulations on your new home linda. Its sounds great!! I'm trying to stay chilled for the first few month of the new year,I'm keeping my on going subscriptions. I'll play along with my card making. I like the 5 for 1 , but I think I will only count 1 for a sheetload of cards sketch.

I'm in! I've been spending way more than I have been creating this year so this challenge is right up my alley. My only purchase will be adhesive, I'm in the market for a new roller adhesive as my ATG is dying a slow painful death.

I'm in with this challenge as well. I have been prepping my DD7's baby book (LOL) for months now and started some layouts before Thanksgiving. I made a list last week of the finishing touches each layout needs and pulled sketches for the remaining layouts. I'm sure I can get some momentum finishing the ones I started.

Yesterday I kitted up ten more pages. Was too tired to actually scrap after work. I'm hoping to scrap this weekend.
Tomorrow I will (hopefully) order December photos. Then I'll have a better idea of exactly what I'll be scrapping for my holiday pages.
I do know that I didn't take a huge amount of pics on Christmas. I need to remember to take some tonight with the kids.

I've finished my Dec album so I'm now ready to start my 50 pages. I'm allowing myself to use the gift certificates my DH gave me for Christmas as I know he'd want me to use them sooner rather than wait until I hit 50 pages, but other than that exception (and photos and adhesive of course) I'm hoping to get through 50 pages without any purchases.

Well, I have one exception, possibly two and I’ve not even started yet! I’m making two memory books for my BFF and my sister for their baby girls. BFF had their baby on 12/23 and sister is due 4/19. So, I need to buy collection packs for those two projects. Have everything picked out for sister’s book. I’m going to stash dive for BFF’s baby.
Aside from those, I need nothing! (I think...)

I finished up my DD, just need to take pictures and clean up. Next up will be making my OLW journal (going to do resin covers again) and order my December photos to finish up my PL2020. For PL spreads I'm counting 2 pages as 1 layout, just because I'm more photo heavy in there.

Since those are gifts, they shouldn’t count toward *your* purchases. So exciting! New babies!!

Sign me up! I SHOULD be able to put together about 500 pages with the supplies that are now stuffed into my scrap room.
Just ordered page protectors, and I have a subscription to glue refills, so I think I am good to go. Hoping to get back into scrapping on the weekend. Still have some fall pic's to print, but of course I want to play with the more recent ones. Will need to print some at home on my ink jet, I guess. As to the challenge, I even have ink for the printer...
