2011 - challenge yourself!
 

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I'm enjoying the 365 photo-a-day in 2010. :woohoo: Now that 2010 is coming to an end, I'm looking for a new challenge.

I was thinking "365 scrapbook pages", but that just sounds a tad unreasonable.

So I decided on "200 scrapbook pages" in 2011. :scrapbooking: I've got no kids, so I have more free time than a mom. :)

And I'm starting now (11/1/10) ... b/c I'm a cheater!

Who's with me? You can pick any number you'd like to accomplish! I'm going to use this thread to keep myself honest.

And ... go!

Great idea and challenge!

I typically complete about one LO a week. Expecting myself to do 200 in a year, wouldn't be reasonable for me. Thus, I going to challenge myself to 100in 2011. That is really going to be a challenge as I have a class to take at the first of the year for 4 months. It will occupy most of my free time. :sad2:

Thanks for the motivation and I am going to think positive... I will get it done!

Amber :mouse2:

Goal: 200

Completed: 3 :woohoo:

To go: 197 :help:

Okay - that's just too funny! :lol:

I'll have to think about this one.

Just think ... this is finally a challenge you can double dip into! :lol:

I think that this is an easy challenge to do... :thumbsup: Considering we have a weekly challenge, which would give you 52 layouts...Then add in the template, telephone & speed scraps, plus scrapping vacation photos...I'm sure I will meet the challenge of 200 pages, (if not more)... :yeah:

I'd have to think about a good number for me. I'm probably the only one that keeps track of how many layouts I do per month, lol. Last year I did over 400 digi pages (queen of scraps really helped skew that, but take away that one month & I'd still be at about 300.) I just did the math & this year I've completed 204 layouts already.

WOWSERS! Here I struggle to get one done a week. :blush:.. Kiddos to you girl! You rock! :thumbsup:

I wish I had more time, but really 1-2 can be a struggle. You go girl!

I´ll have to do maths to think a number for me, I´ve scrapped this year so far 3 regular books for me (starting the 4th) and one for my cousin, that´s 320 pages, plus the Disney pages and some others challenges and stuff I do around there, I´ll say about 500. I think I need a challenge...but to scrap less :lol2:, OK my goal for next year max 3 regular books (trips don't count :D). I think my challenge would be finish my regulars 2007 and 2008 books, the ones I don´t want to scrap cause I already had and lost all my pages when my pc crashed last year what makes me sad every time I see those pics, so that´s 80 pages for each one, the my number would be 160 pages I must scrap!

You go everybody! Impressive numbers all around. :eek: :scrapbooking:

Haha, thanks :D And I'm STILL crazy behind in my scrapping, lol! One day I should take a pic of my list of things to scrap for Disney alone. That would have people call for :help: haha

i know i have seen it somewhere i just can't remember where, but there is a countdown ticker you can get for your siggie (like the countdown ones everyone uses for trips) that is made to count how many scrap pages you have done.

That would be beat Tanya.

I am going to shoot for 200....I have 3 kiddos afterall and I can't ignore them all the time. :D

I'd love to participate - I'll really need to think about how many pages I can get done. Digi scrapping is completely new to me and I haven't paper scrapped since before Mia came home from China... almost 7 years ago! With two businesses being run from our home and me homeschooling, it's pretty crazy around here.

I guess that means I actually have to scrap some pages to see how long it takes me, right? :whistle:

I'm going to try for 150 :)

This is an awesome challenge. I am going to try and do the 365 at least 1 a day is achievable for me.:yeah:

I am going to look for the ticker Tanya!!!!

Found the ticker

Tickerfactory.com

I like the idea of doing one a week with seven pictures on each. I've seen this on other galleries but I don't have enough kits purchased to participate in their contest. I like this one though!

Ok i think i'll got for 200 pages...Sometimes when i come in at night I just don't have the energy but I really want to get some full albums done. :rolleyes:

I used to do these with my friends before I moved four years ago so I am so in. I need to finish three digital road trip books, trip to Alaska plus Disney last year so I surely have plenty to keep me busy. I'll start with 200 since I'm still such a newbie to the whole digi scrappin scene.
:scrapbooking:

How fun!!

Well..I just figured mine out... I've done about 300 pages... SINCE JUNE 1st! :eek:

no wonder my family thinks I've abandoned them :rolleyes:

I think I'll set my goal as 400 pages by Dec 31, 2011. That's basically 1 a day counting in the rest of this year + a couple extra to keep a rounded number!

Off to find a ticker!!:yeah:

Well, I am seriously behind on my scrapping (life in general) BUT.... I just finished scrapping 74 (:eek:) pages for my Disney trip that I just got back from last month! I can't believe I got it done. I was highly motivated though- I wanted to have an album of our trip to bring with us when we go up north to visit family for Christmas.

So, knowing that I CAN do it, maybe I can get caught back up this next year on all my personal family scrapbooking.

I'm going to challenge myself to 200 pages in 2011. That's 4 pages a week. I can do 4 pages in a night, once a week. Totally doable for me.

Great challenge!

Well... since my 1st post here.... I've done 60 pages! :woohoo:

How is everyone doing??

I've done 43..not too shabby!

I've only done 23 but I did get my Disney Cruise album done and sent off to be printed so that's something. :)
Guess I need to get back to it...:scrapbooking:

Joining in! I want to scrap 104 pages in 52 weeks. Hopefully I'll get a lot more than that done but that's my goal, 2 pages a week.

Thanks to the SS marathon, I made a dent in my goal. Still a ways to go though ... :)

I'm keeping tabs in my sig.

I'm starting late, but I'm joining in this challenge.

I have 2000 photos from my big trip at the end of last year, and we're going on a month-long road trip and cruise this fall, plus I'm doing all the challenges and some CT work so I'm going to set a goal of 500 pages. Of course not all will be Disney, but I'll post the Disney ones here and all of my pages on my blog. We'll see if 500 is possible or not! :D

I guess that I'm not really into the number of pages, nut how many projects/albums I complete. So far this year I've finished 3 albums: p365. 2000 and a remake of my parent's wedding album. I think that I may have scrapped 45 pages so far this month. I haven't been keeping track.

I'm not doing this by the pages...but like Jan, by the albums! Actually, ones I've printed!

So far, for 2011, I have printed 1 album! My goal is to print at least 2 more that I have planned already, by the end of 2011!

Well, I'm going to have to keep track of my LO count here. The ticker I was using really didn't want to cooperate with my signature and wanted it's own line. :mad: So my signature looked super ginormous! :rolleyes:

:lol: It's looking like 500 is possible! In about 5 weeks, I've got 93 finished. Wow. :eek:

WHOA. That's amazing!! GO you!!:yeah:

I had decided to take part in this back in January during the Marathon but my car accident stopped me from signing up. I recently decided I am in! I am shooting for 200! I think I did about 110 last year and it was my very first year digi-scrapping, so maybe 200 is possible. I still have 1 LO left to finish for my 1st full Disney album, then that leaves me only 7 trips in the hole - 4 of which we took since I started working on that 1st Album! My motto for this challenge is: "All I can do is Try!" :lol: I am hoping to finish 2 trips before my December trip this year! Let you know how I do at the end of the year! :eek:

Ok, so my "challenge" is going to be a little different.

Last year I made a 440 page book (from a 7 week overseas holiday)...and I use a program called "Memory Mixer" to design my pages.

My "Challenge" this year is to make:-

* a book all about Disneyland (from last years photos AND I'm going back there in May)
* a book all about Walt Disney World (last years photos)
* a book all about Universal Studios, Florida (last years photos)

but, (and here's MY challenge)... ALL by using Photoshop v9.. AND by making my layour more "creative". I've never really used it (to any great detail), so I'm really looking forward to the "challenge".

I've started my "being more creative challenge" by designing a wedding album (for a wedding that I'm going to be a photographer at !)... and as much as its more "creative" its still done in Memory Mixer (because my laptop doesn't have photoshop!) (check out my "Belle of the Ball" album, and let me know what you think - that's the most "creative" I've ever been in my layouts... well, so far at least !)

So, there's my challenge.... "being More creative"... and "using photoshop to design 3 albums".

Hope I can do it.

Challenge Yourself
 

I just recently joined MouseScrappers and love it ... I was going to leave my Disney books for last, but MS really has me excited. I am doing 2 goals: My Disney pages (shooting for 200), and my sister's (shooting for 40).

Oh I wanna join in on the fun!! :hooray: I just started digital scrapbooking so I'm gonna go with 75 pages for the year.

That's a good number!

Thanks to the big Mini Monsterthon Speed Scraps, I'm now over half way there. I need to pick up the pace a bit if I want to make my goal though.

I FINALLY reached my goal of 200 pages and still have 4 months left in the year. Whoo hoo...I wonder how many I can finish before the end of the year. I ♥ Digi Scrappin'

Congratulations
 

Way to go!
