2022 Frozen/Chilly Peas

No purchases here and lots of creating. I’m really pleased with my progress so far. 

I have not bought a thing! I think I’m up to 13 pages and going to a weekend crop. Everything is packed. Don’t need a blessed thing!

My frost is going well. I’m far under the limit I set for myself - I bought one stamp (on sale) at Elle’s Studio, and that was going to be it until SG release some Cocoa Vanilla Merry & Bright I had missed last year, so I picked up the small pack.

I do have a cart full of preorder CV No Limits at ACOT, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. But that is a must-have for me and perfect for my teenager (and for me!). It’s so hard to find product without pink that isn’t super themed or little boy. I do have a few other items thrown in, but I’ve been whittling that down to only what will complement my existing stash.

Really well!😁

Other than photo prints (allowed), I haven't bought anything scrappy related.

And yesterday I finished my twelve holiday pages, using up the Christmas Salutations collection I was gifted down to just little scraps.

I started working on another set of events layouts, which will be eleven 12x12 pages. I was able to pull all the papers from my stash, using up some sheets that have been in there for years!

Great job and great goals for Feb!

The Binding source.  I used to get it from a mom and pop on line framing company but their prices went up so much so last January I did a bunch of searching and price comparison and found this place.  I order 12 rolls of acid free at a time.  It’s not cheap, but it’s 3M quality and I like buying it all in one go.

I've done really well for me. I did buy a new paper trimmer and got my Paper Person sub but I haven't purchased anything beyond that. I'm so proud of myself.

February might be a bit rough for me since it's my birthday and I like to treat myself so I'm thawing for now. I want the Cocoa Vanilla No Limits line or at least components of it so I may have to do a preorder.

I'm super impressed with everyone and how you've been able to stay frozen/chilly! Let's keep that momentum for February. It's a short month so you should be fine.

I did a complete freeze in January even of non scrapbooking stuff. I bought myself 2 bunches of flowers, a beauty blender and a memory card for my camera because I forgot mine and I’m on a trip. I didn’t even buy myself beer until yesterday. My other hobby is collecting good beer. For scrapbooking I did still get my paper person kit but no extras. And I had some design team stuff come in so I did get new stuff. I used a ton of old product up including trying to use my scraps. I think most of the pages I made included some scraps. Overall a pretty good month.

I have a list of items I’m buying today. I think I’m doing a mixed media project for 100 days so I’m buying that. And I need a lens adapter for my new camera. I have been keeping a list of things to buy when the month is over. Surprisingly it’s only got like 6 items on it.

January freeze was a success for me! No new scrappy supplies. I want to keep it going in February - hey its the shortest month of the year we can do it!

I'm also holding strong with no spending so far. I would like to make it through Feb without any purchases, although I gave myself a caveat to order Cocoa Vanilla's new line I'm going to try and hold strong until I've finished my 50 layouts first.

I didn't spend anything in January, although I'm chilly not frozen.

Yesterday I bought two packs of stickers at Dollar Tree ($1.25 each). But they both fill a stash void that I have for layouts that are currently on my desk. One is sea shells for a trip my dd took. The other is farm themed, but has lots of goats. I have several pages worth of photos of my kids at the zoo, petting the goats, and no stash to match.

Overall, I've been doing a decent amount of scrapping, using stash, digging through sheets of paper that I've had for awhile.
