I wanted to let all of you know I'll be hosting the Sunday crop at 1pm tomorrow. Fun! Is the link in the general scrap board? I’m not sure l’ll have anything to work on. I almost have this current week done - just waiting until tomorrow to finish since we are doing something tonight. Maybe I could try to get my goal planner back into shape. 😂 The link is always posted on the general scrapbook board. I'll post when I open it up tomorrow. Hope to see you there! |

paget I just wanted to let you know I posted in the virtual crops thread this morning that I want to cancel. I'm just not feeling well today. It's depression. And I was up late last night which is just adding to my can't get moving mentality today. I'm sorry.

I wanted to try to pop in but honestly didn’t really have anything to work on. Take care today with whatever you need. ❤️ |

Here are my last two weeks for PL- last week’s has a 3x8 pocket (start here) with more pics on the other side and a 3x4 flip pocket (hard things) with more journaling and pictures.  I’ve been using more flip pockets and extra pages per week than I want (because it’s making the album bulky) and challenged myself to not do that this week for the Valentine’s layout and was successful! Lol. |

ITA with jeremysgirl. Incredible PL pages, paget. If mine looked like yours and had fun interactive pieces, I might do more of them. Love how you balance the photos and other elements, your use of colour. Everything! |

grammadee thank you so much! I do love color and mixing colors and patterns. I wasn’t really sure where to post my pages. I know the sharing thread on the general scrap page is for everyone but I was a little shy lol plus it seems like it’s only typical pages (not pocket pages). I thought maybe in the PL life thread since a few people have posted there?

I thought maybe in the PL life thread since a few people have posted there? Go ahead and share on the Sharing thread. There are other pocket scrappers who share there as well. It’s good to see different styles and approaches together. Your pages would give even a “typical” scrapper some inspiration, even if it is on designing a title block or a journaling spot. |

I started out so well with the 4-28-4 challenges, but fell away with sick kids and a bunch of things going on IRL. We’ll see if I get extra time to do some more but I’m trying to catch up with PL in the spare moments since I want to capture the now.

Who's scrapbooking this weekend? It's 8 am here and I've had my coffee. I'm just about to shower and put on some cozy clothes and then pull out my scrapbook stuff and get started. Anyone else creating this weekend?

Have fun, Sisters! This weekend is all hockey all the time, but I will be taking some pics to scrap next week. Just a note for those scrappers who love sketches: we need hosts for upcoming Sketchy Saturdays. So if you have a sketch you would like to use, or can find or draw one up, hop over to the sketchy Saturday signup thread and pick a Saturday. |

I have a question about the *no-spend* challenge. Last month we doubled our points if we didn't spend for 30 days. Since this is a 28-day month, do we get to double our points for not spending?

Made another card with a photoshopped picture. This one is from when DS was in marching band. I loved taking pictures of the band that showed their being perfectly in step. Front:  Sentiment:  |

I'm doing some scrapbooking but looking at the challenges and points and it seems really overwhelming to me. What is the easiest way to add up points?

We should ask grammadee I'm not sure what the rules are. My knee jerk reaction would be a month of no spending is a month of no spending. So even though February is a short one, you should still get the bonus. |

The easy peasy points way is the way I like to do it. I do pocket pages too which limits a bit my ability to participate in the challenges. Basically the easy peasy way allocates a flat number of points based on the size of the project. |

I spent money on January 4th. But Jan 5th to February 4 th was 30 days. So BOOM the frozen points were doubled for those 30 days. February 5th to March 6th will be another 30. |

Perfect ~ so if I don't spend any money the entire 3 months, that should give me 3-30 day periods. IF I can last that long! |

Since I’m failing at non spending I’ll just keep earning points other ways. 😂 in my defense, I didn’t buy scrapbook supplies for like 10+ years!

I got some organization points today! When I finished up with the Positano layout and the card for DS, I spent 30 minutes cleaning up my space: Before:  After:  Tomorrow I'm going to reorganize my cardstock/paper scraps. |

I thought we had to add up all of the other things in addition to the points per layout. |

I spent several hours today reorganizing my colored cardstock *scraps*. Years ago Costco had a huge *accordion* style thing filled with tons of patterned scrap paper. I eventually took the paper out and organized it a different way. So I wasn't using it any more and decided it would be perfect for scraps. I still have more work to do but this pictures will help you get an idea of what I'm talking about:  |

I just recently bought some organizers for my PL cards and stamps. I've been cutting my cardstock scraps into 4x6 and 3x4 card size and just throwing them in with my PL cards. I might buy another organizer just for cardstock scraps. cadoodlebug do you find that you use your scrap envelop a lot? Are you good at digging through there and pulling out scraps to use? I'm afraid if I put them in a box, I will never go back to using it. |

I'm afraid if I put them in a box, I will never go back to using it. All the time!! Notice the little squares at the bottom of of the Positano layout? I would have had to ruin 7 pages of cardstock to make them if not for my scraps. Also for journal boxes. I just realized that I posted the same picture twice. Here is the other view:  |

Hi, Sisters! The 2Peas Mega Crop is coming in less than two weeks. For challenge participants, extra points can be earned. Please take a look at the Mega Crop Thread for details. Unfortunately, I will most likely not be able to play along. I thought I would be out of town the weekend before when I initially voted on the date and now I will be out of town the weekend of the crop. My Esther is moving to Illinois and I'll be taking her to help her settle in. This will empty my nest.  |
