Project 2015 - what is your scrapbooking goal for the year?
 

Do you have a scrapbook that you really want to finish, but just haven't gotten it done for whatever reason (procrastination, lack of inspiration, haven't scrapped in forever, work on too many different trips and never finish any single trip)? Well, you are in good company, and my thought is that we can try to work together toward that scrapbook(s) that have been eluding each of us.

My thought is to start off the year by setting a goal. I'd then like to work together to set up a plan of attack, and then have regular meetings (chats or speed scraps) or threads to check our status - give us a target and keep us accountable. We will use this forum to communicate in. I may make this up as I go along, but I know the first step is this:

- PLEASE STATE YOUR 2015 SCRAPBOOKING GOAL BELOW! :idea:

(you can either just state it, or you can edit/dress up the file below with your own decorations - it's a good way to ease back into scrapbooking if you are out of practice :) )

Pick up the file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ktar0nd4ke...goals.zip?dl=0 - sorry I don't have the ability to change the .psd file to other formats, but I included a .png that you can add to. The font I used is called "DJB Chalk it up"

It won't be a really big book, but it has been hard to get done. Since it is a special occasion, in my mind I think it has to be 'perfect' - so I kind of avoid it. It's been eluding me for years, and I'd be happy if I could get it done!

My scrapbooking goal for 2015 is to finish my book for WDW 2013 and start pages for my MouseScrappers Meet 2014 book.

Thanks for starting this Carol! I'm looking forward to getting back into scrapping!

Thank you for this Carol! My goals for 2015 is to do at least one album probably my January 2015 cruise on the Dream!

My goal is to complete at least 1 album (probably our June trip).

Finish and print all Disney pages (08, 10, 13). I'm close to being done with all of them, but my goal is to completely have them done and together. 08 & 10 are mix of traditional and digital and 13 is all digital. I also want to stay on top of my kids' school books and my 2015 book so that I can work on prior years in between all that scrapping. LOL

My goal is to stay motivated to work on my albums. I work like gangbusters for a short period of time and then I completely fall off the wagon, and let months go by without doing anything.
I would really like to stay on top of my 2015 pics, and then attempt to work backward. I am so far behind on my family scrapbooks that it is not even funny.

Here is mine!

My main goal is to actually start scrapping regularly again. I found a tweet from 2011 where I was sad I only did 153 LOs that year since I had done over 200 the year before. In 2014, I did 12 layouts, and half were in the last month (so hopefully that means I'm getting myself going again?)

I'd also like to:

-Finally finish my 2007 "once in a lifetime" (lol) trip album. I only have a handful left to do, but I just have a hard time going back to finish them. And then print the LOs that haven't been printed yet (it's a mix of digi and paper layouts from that trip, there were several books already...it was hundreds of pages!)

-Work on a rundisney album. I'm not sure this is something that will be completed, but at least scrap each race & hopefully character layouts from my races (this is what I've been in the mood to scrap lately anyway!)

2015 Goals
 

So excited to work on this!

I could get the dropbox to work for me, but
My Scrapbooking Goal for 2015
is to Complete my
Disney April 2012
Disney June 2012
(Plus, work on Oct 2012, Nov 2012, Feb 2013, Nov 2013 and June 2014)
I also want to complete my regular Family 2012 album and get to work on 2013 & 2014
Last year, I averaged 15 pages a month, I would like to up that number to 20/month

my goal is to get my mojo back and actually create the album for our 2010 trip :blush: we've only been 6 times since and nothing has been except for a few pages from each trip. I need to focus and do one album start to finish!

Project 2015
 

I would like to complete my first trip to Disney World album from 2012.:) Thanks for setting this up, I love the idea and I am looking forward to it!:)

Project 2015
 

I have many projects that I would like to finish, like all our Disney trips, but I would be very happy if I just finished one. So my goal for 2015 would be to finish our 2012 trip to WDW. :scrapbooking:

My scrapping goal for 2015 is to finish up my 2008 and 2009 Disney albums. I don't usually work on them unless it is for a challenge because if I finish them I wont have any Disney photos to scrap for pages here on the boards, but since I am heading back for a few days in Feb I will have enough to get my Mousescrappers fix! I would also love to get a cruise book finished up from 2013 and get at least 6 months of my pics scrapped from the last few years.

LOVE this idea! Let me know if you need any help with anything :)

I'm actually hoping to get mine finished by around October. That way I can hopefully avoid international shipping fees (which would double the price of the book) by getting it ordered to the resort!

hahaha. I feel the same way. which is another reason I have like 6-20 pages to finish in each book.

we need a marathon!!!

great idea!

I would love to be added

I also would like to finish my 2011 Disneyland trip and continue working on my 2013 trip

Added you to the Master List! :)

Please add me - My goal is to finish (it's barely started!) my daughter's Make a Wish trip to Orlando in 2010!

Thanks for organizing - great idea!!!

Added you to the list! :)

Great thread Carol! Thanks for encouraging us to actually think about and state our scrapping goals for this year!

I have at least 2 (I might add more as I type this!) I used to scrap up to 5 layouts per day...but in the last couple years, I have slacked off so much, somedays doing zero layouts (some weeks doing zero layouts). I would love to scrap more this year.

And my 2nd goal might help that out! I want to have my 2012 WDW album scrapped before we go to Disney next year (2016). I have a LONG way to go, but just yesterday, I scrapped a total of 5 layouts! Woohoo! I'm already off to a good start!

If I added a 3rd, it would be to get more albums printed. But since we are taking a trip to Yellowstone this summer, and a Disney trip less than a year later...this is the year of "No spending". That means not spending money on printing layouts....so, I guess this one can be rolled into both 1 and 2- scrap more pages to finish "years/albums" so that when our "no spending" ban is lifted, I'll have albums to print!

Reminder that we will be meeting today in the chat room! Today is the day to start thinking about your 2015 goals and how many pages you think you need to do this year. I think knowing the scope of your project will help you get an idea of how many pages you need to scrap each month.

If you are unable to chat today, please try to get an estimate of how many pages you need to complete each month. We will set some benchmarks using that number.

Reminder that there is a new FB group - lots of activity going on in there already!

Dawn - I will add you to the Master List :)

I would like to join too. I have so many trips only partially done. I guess my goal would be to get 2 trips completely done. :)

Goal for 2015
 

My goal may not be very big but I'd like to simply finish our last Disneyland/Carsland album from 2012. I have many other pages & albums to complete but this one is the most important. I've mapped it out and it will be 28 pages when complete. I worked on it a bit over the Christmas break and finished 3 pages so far......

It is almost embarrassing to list how many Disney trips and how many books I need to finish. I am going to set a reasonable goal of... Finish our October 2014 family trip.

Thanks for the push and encourage to do it!

Think I'm caught up to here on the master list. Be sure to add a place holder on that thread

Sorry for being a little late to join in but after being sick during the holidays I am finally getting caught up with everything. My scrapbook goal for the year is to finish my 2008 album and get as much of my 2010, 2013, & 2015 albums finished as I can. :scrapbooking:

My Goal this year!
 

I want to make a Disney Album from our xmas 2014, using digital supplies this year. I would also make 3 of the same to give for Mother's Day gifts.

For 2015, overall complete 150 SB pages. In that number, I want to start/complete an album for our 2014 trip. :)

A little late to the party but feeling the need to join in as I have a 2011 WDW trip un-scrapped and a 2013 Disney Cruise un-scrapped. (And I will have DL Cal to scrap in 3 weeks time)

Now I'm going to be realistic I'm never going to get both books completed this year so I'm going to set a goal of getting the DISNEY CRUISE scrapped.

non-disney books, going to finish off DD 1st year and get it printed (only have about 6 pages left)

Added all of you on this page to our master list :)

I added my goals to the master list - sorry. My goal is to do my 2014 family album and my June 2014 WDW trip album. Thanks for starting this!

Added you :)
