Ok, I will go first! I am going to try to do 300 this year! That is a lot with a new baby! The good news is I just finished my first layout of the year!! Only 299 to go!! Can't wait to hear all of your numbers!

[SarahRice]

that is a lot with a new baby! Is she walking yet... cuz when that starts you have even less time. lol Aubrey started walking at 9 months. Yikes!

Im going for 200... I make a lot of cards and other projects too so I dont want to commit to high.

[Admin]

It probably won't happen, but I will try! I have spurts where I do a ton! And I scrap every Tuesday! My DH each have one free night!! LOL! Thanks for playing!

Hi, I'm thinking of 200 layouts for years as it depends how often i can get back to my scraproom as i have two littles one--2 years old and 4 months old. lol but I'm going to try to do it this year. I have alot i want to accomplish.

Hi, I am Laura from Virginia and am new here. I am now a follower of your blog and Fb, but anywho, although I started scrapping in 2001, I had all the wrong tools & supplies and didn't scrap often. I really got back into it about 2 years ago, but since i have pretty much torn apart all books I had previously done and started over. So I am way behind, I set my goal last year for 144 LOs and only got about 88 done I think. I have not only been scrapping for myself but making books for others which of course puts me behind on my photos. I am still in the process now of finishing albums for my nephew and my sister before I can start back on my own stuff, so again this year I am setting my count at 144 which actually is 12 LOs per month, I know it is not alot but I hope to bypass it this year, as well as doing 60 cards for the year, 5 per month!

Okay folks, this is a dangerous little game, but my goal is to do 150 layouts this year! Keep me accountable! This is a great way to keep me motivated!

Update! I've done 6 so far!! My DH watched Emma last night and all day today!! Hoping to get at least 1 more done before mommy duties step back in!! And the best part, I used some older stuff..I really have been wanting to use a couple lines that I have been hoarding forever! Glad to use them because I know I am going to need so much of that pink paislee sweetness line when it comes in on Tuesday!

I am with Casey...150

[Admin]

Is it too early to lower my goal!?!?! Just kidding, I'm going to try hard!! I know this thread will help keep me motivated! and accountable!!

[Nancy]

I did 150 last year. I don't really think I can do many more.

jealous! I rarely get any non-mommy time

Not doing so good so far, only got 2 done, but I am trying to learn my New Cricut Expression at the same time and only have 3 carts so far, which don't have things on them, I am needing to use at this time, lol. Going to look at the shop and try to get some more scrapping done today!

[Admin]

I am so excited!! Up to 7! Tuesday night is my scrappy night! Plus I am really excited to have used up some stuff from awhile ago..going to post them on my blog later today (hopefully)! I really want to get a lot done before CHA stuff comes out, because I always have to buy so much!! LOL! I need to make some more layouts with some kits because I am going to a show in a couple weeks!! Only a couple hundred more layouts to go!!

[daisie4100]

I am going to say 100. I don't get a lot of me time and I do a lot of sewing and other stuff too.

[CaseyWright]

Just checking in... I've got 10 (2 of which are two pagers) done... three more layouts to do this month to keep on pace for 150...

[Nancy]

Wow, Casey! You are rocking it!

[Admin]

UPDATE I'm up to 15 and hoping to do some tomorrow since I have the day off...far, far from my goal but 15 is a start!! Where are you at??

[Nancy]

14 and counting.

[SarahRice]

im at 9.... almost 10

plus 2 cards

[CaseyWright]

Hey everyone! I'm just checking in to see how the challenge is going - what's your January number? Did you meet your goal?

Mine goal was 12 and I did 15 - woo hoo!

[butterfly247]

I did 15 layouts. I'm shooting to do at least 20 for feb. I'm currently working on three different layouts. lol

[Nancy]

so, how is everyone doing on the challenge? are you keeping up?

[LizMichaud]

Wow you ladies are ambitious!
Funny I guess that I never thought about scrapping in the way of quantity !!
I don't have a plan of # of layouts.... I actually worry a lot that I will make too many layouts and my books will be too full and in 20 years they will be taking over my house!!!

My goal this year will be to try and stretch myself, to learn new techniques and think outside the box!!
