Yesterday, after work, I started seven more holiday layouts. Didn't finish them yet, so I'm not counting them yet.
After I wrap up my DD pages, I'm going to add a bunch of LO to my numbers done. I'm looking forward to seeing progress.

How can I NEED more card stock? The drawer is still over 3/4 full. But it is getting harder and harder to find the colours I want to use. When my 50 pages are completed buying papers will be more fun, but card stock may have to come first.

I’m enjoying seeing that so many are getting layouts done. Great work!

I'm up to 18 so I'm bumping my goal to 30 before I purchase anything.

I did a couple more layouts and completed the creation of my OLW journal, which I'm counting as 2 layouts 😆 so I'm up to 15! Only 35 left to go.

Have 6 pages in various stages of completion after the crop today. Not changing my goal. When I hit 50, I will be like Wilma Flintsone. Charge it!

They may have been difficult, but they look beautiful, vexedangel.

beautiful cards @vexangel
I fell off the wagon - We went to the city - I haven't been there since I flew out to RI back in early January last year - and went to Michaels (I was SO good and didn't buy anything), Tuesday Morning (Bazzil cardstock packs and I found a QK die of a bullseye and arrow that I've wanted for years - actually DH bought them for me but...), Target (didn't buy anything), and Joanns (I got London stamps on clearance, adorable gnome washi flakes, and a Heroarts house die/stamp set for making new address cards). So I'm resetting my ticker again. Sigh

I'm so close to being finished with this album. I just need to do journaling. I'll be so happy to be done with it and finally count something toward my 50 layouts.

Wow...you are all creating away in here!!
I was at 1 page but since I caved and placed 2 orders with ACOT (one regular, one preorder) I am resetting. I spent a few hours this weekend scanning old photos so I'll have some new things to scrap about...stories are coming to me as I am going through them.

Woot woot!
I can now add 20 layouts to my tally, for a total of:
28 layouts done, 22 more layouts until goal!
Today I finished my holiday layouts (Christmas season, Yule, & NYE). Twenty 12x12 pages in total.
I can't believe I'm halfway to my goal.
I definitely made a dent in my stash, between the cardstock bases, using up the holiday pattern paper, using nearly all the Christmas Jolees I bought, and the dozens of enamel dots I used.

Awesome accomplishment, LavenderLayoutLady. I have not finished Christmas yet, but am getting there. The good news is I have only 15 more pages to go (have a couple I have not yet claimed b/c they won't be posted until the last Sketchy Saturday). Have page kits put together for six of those pages, and some ideas for a couple more, but then I may be forced to take a break to get all the Christmas scrappy supplies sorted and stowed away...

I finished a Christmas themed pocket page last night. I want to be able to buy new Christmas collections this year so I threw as many stickers and die cuts on it as I reasonably could and am almost at the end of one of my die cut packs.

grammadee Woot woot! You are getting closer to goal, and have great plans for Christmas pages! Chinagirl828 i feel ya! I didn't buy Christmas paper at all this year, and decided to use up what I had on hand instead, so that next Christmas I can splurge and buy all new. I was layering and layering some more to get as many stickers, die cuts, PL cards & cut aparts, and xmas papers on each page as I could.

I'm really hoping this "use all the things" mentality will carry over into my non-Christmas pages, it would be nice to make a real dent in some more of my supplies. I can actually see where my patterned paper has reduced because the lid on the Iris container now actually snaps closed properly - progress!

I've realized the only way I will ever dig myself out of my stash (and it wouldn't even be considered a big stash by pea standards!) is by not buying paper pads anymore. Or at least fewer of them. It's just so hard to stomach buying paper by the sheet when it is $1+ each sheet! I usually by paper pads when they are on sale/clearance for about $5 each, and they have 48 or more sheets.

This year, for the first time in a long time, I think I will be putting away fewer Christmas supplies than I took out of the cabinet! Alot less random purchases b/c I was not wandering around stores and being tempted by all the pretty things.
I dug out an old Sticker Stadium, and used it to display all my supplies, and it really helped to remind me to USE this stuff! It was especially good b/c the smaller things like stickers and diecuts and scraps are right at the front in the smaller sections, so easy to see and access.

I finally ordered the bulk of my 2020 photos and tonight I sorted them and began to make up page kits.
With as much Vicki Boutin as I have in my stash, and more on the way, imagine my surprise when I didn't find myself gravitating toward any of it! At all !!! Or Shimelle either for that matter, and I have gobs of that now too since I started hoarding it after AC dropped her.
What I did find myself dipping into more often than not was PinkFresh. I'm really loving it right now. I can't wait to start scrapping with the 28-4-28 challenges, but for now I'm just concentrating on prep. For me, that's page kits, trimming, inking, and matting.

I’ve just come back from a 4 day crop...I made 14 pages (1 a double page, so that counts as 2pages) I did have to buy 5 pieces of cardstock to make some of the pages work.
2 were real intricate with fussy cutting, texture paste & stencils...and 1 page took me a while with paper piecing
normally when at a crop I do tend to spend quite a lot, but $6 for cardstock is not bad

I finally did spend my Christmas money on some stamps. In a previous post I said no more spending after I made a scrappy purchase because I typically only buy scrap stuff twice a year.
I have an undated planner that I added a lot of stamping too and will sometimes add stickers or washi. I'm counting that so I'm at 46. Just so you know, I'm being very liberal about what counts as a page.

Today i finished 5 Halloween pages, and three 12x12 December pandemic pages.
Doing so, I killed my Halloween & Christmas papers, and used lots of the remaining puffy stickers.
Eight layouts added.
36 Layouts completed, 14 layouts until goal!

I finished another two pages yesterday, including one that used what is quite possibly the oldest piece of paper in my stash. 38 to go!

I’m finally in the game! I finished my album so I’ve completed 20/50 layouts. Now I’m moving on to an album using two EP Disney collections and some other supplies I put together. I’m hoping to kill that kit by the time I’m finished with the album.

3 more pages done...I had some unexpected time last night and decided to go for it.
I did order some lake supplies, but I don't really count that. I had some birthday $ left over and so I just used that.

I have an M's gc as a Christmas gift, but have been holding off on using it yet. My birthday is coming up in February. Hope by then I will have freed myself from this obligation I made to be frozen, and I will be able to spend the gc plus some additional gift $$.

I think I am seeing a dent in my Fall scrapping supplies! I did kind of a weird thing, so because apple orchards are such a big part of what we do in my area in the fall, I divvied up my fall supplies into "fall" (general) and Apple Orchard, lol. Last night I used fall paper from probably 20 years ago, and it felt really good to use it up! I am now at 22 pages complete! 28 to go!

I fell off the layout wagon with my DD's baby book because I started Stacy Julian's Photo Freedom class and have been busy sorting and purging prints and images. I am happy to report that I haven't shopped (aside from my AE Story Kit subscription).
I'm so impressed with everyone's efforts to get their layout completed and using their stashes!
