March goals/progress/sharing

loco coco, your daughter is an absolute doll! She's so cute. I remember so clearly when my babies found their feet. I loved every single milestone no matter how small they were. Thanks for sharing your layouts with us. I love them all!

Thank you!

I actually finished the PL spread I started a while ago and it didn't take me until the end of the month...but it's the perfect example of why I only get further and further behind. 3 or so weeks to finish 1 week in my album, lol. Hoping to get back to doing 2-3 a week like I had been doing before I got sick in February. It is SO NICE to feel like a functional human being again!! I am getting a bit behind on photos (5 weeks in printing, but I'm in the midst of editing and uploading the first 3 of those 5 weeks, so I haven't ignored them, just haven't made editing them a huge priority) but it would be nice to get what I have currently printed done before March is over (I have printed through Feb 11). Share some mojo, ladies!

I went to a crop last night from 5 until 10 and I scrapped unbelievable even to me, 18 pages.  Then today I went back to the same crop from 10 am to 7 pm and I scrapped 30 pages.  I have decided I am just a super speedy scrapper and I enjoy that.

Anyway, here are 3 layouts from today - just a sample.  I pulled another card out of my wallet - this time a Sweet Frog punch card.


         

loco coco your page (and dd) are adorable.

myboysnme I am constantly amazed by how productive you are at crops. You clearly have a very effective process. I love the fun sweet frog colour combo.

Whoo Hooo!!!  Glad you are right back on track and steaming ahead!

I got back into scrapping today after our guests left.  Hoping by tomorrow to have 4 or 5 pages completed and another 2 at least started.  Things seem to be going quite quickly and easily for me today:  maybe scrapping is like exercising, now that I am "in shape" from all that Calvinball push, I can actually do more in less time!

I do find that I scrap faster when I've been scrapping on a regular basis.  My layouts are coming together faster lately, too.  

bump! hows it going ladies, anyone planning on scrapping this weekend? I really hope I can get a few layouts done, Im finally catching up (only 3 months behind now!) 

Was busy making card kits all week for the crop I'm going to this weekend it called Crop and Create. It's put on by Scrapbook and Cards Magazine. I'm taking 6 classes so I won't have a ton of time to create. I did 16 different card kits about 65 - 70 cards!

I figure what I don't get done I will add to the projects I need for the 2 3 day retreats I am going to in April!

This is the only goal I've accomplished this month that I wanted to complete. I did however purge 5 grocery bags of stash that was super old from my scraproom yay!

No scrapping for me this weekend. I am on grandparent duty. When the teen wakes up, I think we will head out to M's though, and do a little shopping for craft supplies. Baking is also on the agenda, and tomorrow a hockey game, so will have lots more pix to scrap by Monday.

have fun at C&C, canadianscrappergirl !  Wouldn't you know I would be in Abbotsford while C&C is in Calgary!  BTW those kits look awesome!

Oh darn you will have to try and make it to next year's event! I'm really looking forward to the classes especially the make your own embellishments one snd the clusters etc one. I think it will help me in adding finishing touches to my layouts!

Thanks the kits were a bit of work but I think it will pay off!

I just spent some time catching up in this thread. Everyone has been so productive and the pages shared are wonderful. 

Between trying to just create layouts for Calvinball and doing the bare minimum in house work and starting back to exercising and dieting, well, it hasn't left a lot of social screen time.  DD & I had a wonderful time creating prints with the gelliplates, then I worked steadily on paper layouts and she bounced around between layouts, collage, and making her own scratch plates for our weekend earlier in the month.  I even used one of the gelli prints on a scrapbook page.

My weekly page average has been steadily going down. I'm currently at 73 pages for the month, but my average layout by day for each week this month has been: 5.2, 3.7, and last week 1.5.   I'm really hoping to get that back up this week as I know that soon I will have very limited time to create with home projects, gardening, a massive cleaning project, etc. 

Just catching up on this thread and wondering how everyone is doing heading into the last week of the month? Any goals for the week?

I'm wrapping up Calvinball with a few photos printed and sitting on my desk, then I'm moving to re-organizing my embellishments. They are a giant mess after this month of busy scrapping. Like LisaDV, I have a lot of home & garden projects coming up in April, so squeezing in a last few days in my scraproom before it all starts.

My goal was 31 pages, and I finished over 40 being spurred on by Calvinball and with a fair amount of scrappy time at my disposal In March.

I also have some supplies kitted to take with me to the April LSS crop at the end of April. That will be the only time I foresee scrapping this next month. (Except, I guess, the page I have almost completed on my scrap counter, just waiting for photos I will print this weekend.

 Leaving for 5 days now. Need to get my tax info organized. Heading out next weekend on a week long house hunting trip with dd & family, then Easter. Then just time enough to get organized for the crop starting the 21st.
