Challenges

Last week we took a nice vacation along the East Coast.  We were lucky enough to meet up with some good Army friends.  It is always good to see our Army family.

Anyway, while we were on our travels, we were remembering previous vacations and I commented that a certain trip that we had taken was not in the scrapbook yet. It drives hubby crazy that I am so far behind (only four years!) in my scrapbooking.  To be honest, it drives me crazy too but I tend to let other projects get in the way.  This conversation led to The Challenge.  Hubby challenged me to get caught up on our scrapbooks by November 1 (so they are complete before the holidays).  This year.  *sigh* The deal is that I have to be caught up to at least the current year - 2014.

Four years.
Hundreds of pictures. (Possibly thousands...no kidding, we take a lot of pictures of our kids and puppies!)
I can do this... I think.

I need to print this saying out, frame it and keep in my scrappy space and look at it often.

Speaking of my scrappy space, it is now rearranged and a bit more organized so I can access what I need easily.

I have to spend a few days organizing my photos and memorabilia.  I also have to upload and print tons and tons of photos.  I will be keeping my eye out for good deals from Snapfish.  They usually run some good deals during the summer.  I will post any I find.

I hope these posts encourage others to work on their scrappy catch-up too.  As I come across good ideas, or tools that will help in this challenge, I will post them.  Pinterest will be my good friend through this process. My scrappy idea books will get a workout too.  I have already pulled out my favorite book Fast Scrapbooking with 4x6 Photos and marked the ideas I like most so far.  This is a great book because the layouts are fairly simple and they do not require crazy sizes for the photos.  I can also look up ideas by the number of photos I have for a certain event.

So, how about you?  Will you take The Challenge?  Leave a comment and let me know.  I would love to have some company on this!

Happy Scrapping!
Diane
