I’m moving into my new scrapbook room today. DH is already suggesting that we use the closet for our board games and puzzles. <hiss>
So this month I’ll be happy to get things organized and hopefully get back to scrapping. I’ve had a very busy couple of months so I’m looking forward to a little downtime. I have three themed albums I’d like to get started on. The unfinished Disney album from February 2020 that I’ve been hiding from is still haunting me, though. I should at least glance at it and make a list of what needs to be done so I can finish it.

My July goals ---
- work on PL (I know I wont get caught up but I need to at least try and get caught up)
-print photos
-scraplift one layout
I haven't done anything crafty in a few months (moving, life) so I would like to do something to get the ball moving again. Low expectations but trying to be realistic.

Finish the alcohol ink backgrounds for my Christmas cards.
Finish CS card kit.
Finish purging paper crafting supplies. ✅ 7/2
Scan and print photos for layouts in progress.
That averages to a goal a week, which is doable, no matter how I feel. Perfect!

Uploading photos, for printing.
Still working on making words out of partially used alphabet stickers and chipboard.
Currently not in scrapbooking mode (haven't been for the last three months), hoping to get back to it. My creativity and productivity ebbs and flows.

I've mentioned on other threads that I've been struggling with mojo, so my goals are very low stress this month:
* work on some Christmas/December layouts for the Christmas in July thread
* finish the last Christmas layout needed for 2021
* do the sketchy Saturday sketch I just posted
* get all the June photos onto my computer and ready for printing (no commitment to actually print them)
* organise and print some of the many printables I own

I'm done with my big card donation projects but one of the charities needs words of encouragement type cards for kids so I might make a box of those.
Christmas cards if the mood takes me. I have some die cut ones ready to start on and a paper pad.
I should use up at least one more of the paper pads I bought.
I'm trying to finish reworking my China album into a photobook.
And I just re-discovered a bunch of disorganized negatives that I probably need to trash. I was giving decluttering and organizing advice to a random stranger on the internet and realized I wasn't following my own advice. I just need to check what I have digitized.

I fear I am losing my scrapbook mojo. I passed up an opportunity for a 2 day crop within one mile of my house this weekend. I just can't get myself together to scrapbook. In more than 2 decades I have never had my scrapping on the back burner.
Next weekend I have an all day crop and CKC at the end of the month. I decided to work on living history at the farm site photos again this summer. I enjoy these photos and I use a lot of 49 & Market and other products I like. So we will see how much of a dent I make in those.

Since I didn't get terribly far into my June goals, they will arrive over into July. Currently I have photos printed and in pockets for my PL album ready for journalling etc. I have from March 19-current to do (I'm a weekly girl) but I'm not expecting to get done anytime soon. I finally got off a surgery waitlist (after waiting for almost a year)! I go in on July 5 and then we'll see how recovery goes. I might have a chance during those weeks to do a bit, but not counting on a lot.

My goal for July is to survive a road trip with the family. 🙃
It should be a lot of fun, it has just been a bit stressful leading up to leaving later on this week.

My creativity and productivity ebbs and flows. This is a really great idea, I’ve seen it once before and forgot about it so thank you for the reminder! It helps me not waste time, when I am scrapbooking. I would end up spending an hour or two, looking through alphabets to make words or sayings ......only to be one or two letters short. I went through my "to be scrapbooked" photos and photo cd's and made a list of subjects, events, photo ops, etc... and made a list to use as a reference. |

Keeping my goals small again this month. Try to finish my gr-grand-dau's sb. I made more progress on it last month than I thought I would, so going for the finish this month. Maybe get back to that much-put-off task of organizing my inks & stamps. Thanks for keeping us focused linda. |

My singular scrappy goal this month is to work on (and hopefully finish) a camping vacation album. We go on another vacation next month, so I’d really like to get this one wrapped by then.
I also need to back up then delete a lot of phone photos, especially to free up phone storage space for the upcoming vacation’s photos/videos!

I've had a come to jesus moment and really need to go through all my supplies and downsize.
So this july I'll be going through everything and making piles of sell, purge, donate. I really need to downsize my stamps and I have so many kits from Paper Person that I haven't touched.

July goals -
Print photos from our two vacations so they are ready to scrap.
Organize my layouts - this is going to be a HUGE project. Right now, my layouts are in random order in a dozen or so albums. I need to pull out all my layouts, organize by date, and put them back in albums. I'm dreading this project.
Finish journaling on 3 or 4 dozen layouts. The layouts are done, but I haven't finished the journaling. :/

Mid month check in:
* work on some Christmas/December layouts for the Christmas in July thread I've made 4 pages for 2022
* finish the last Christmas layout needed for 2021 and done this one from 2021
* do the sketchy Saturday sketch I just posted done
* get all the June photos onto my computer and ready for printing (no commitment to actually print them) still need to do this, maybe this weekend as I don't think I have that many
* organise and print some of the many printables I own I've done some organising (not much, but some) but no printing yet.

I am finishing my paper sorting, purging. I don't know that I can get it all in the holders I want yet because I am waiting for them to arrive. But I will do my best.
And I am going to finish my embellishments.
I would like to get my stamps done but I think that will be August.

Finish journaling on 3 or 4 dozen layouts. The layouts are done, but I haven't finished the journaling. :/ It feels like there is always something I’m waiting on to finish a page, printing another photo/size, ordered paper/embellishments, page kit put together but no photos, journaling. I have them all in separate albums, guess which album has the most layouts? Journaling is such an important part of the page for me, so I have to be in the right headspace to do it. Also, I have a terrible memory so I often have to talk to someone who was there or look back through my notes. And, I really want to have my handwriting turned into a couple of fonts. Does anyone do this anymore? Any recommendations? |

I need to add more days to the positivity planning page before I forget good things. |
