Preparing for the July Scrapbooking Challenges
I spent this past weekend really trying to get organized for my upcoming July scrapbooking challenge. Sat--uploading and ordering photos that I might need. Sunday and Monday--putting together some page kits using supplies I already have on hand. This is a great way to speed up your scrapping and make the most of your time when you do scrapbook. I'm doing it tomorrow so that I can see what supplies I might need to buy still to create the pages I'm going to be working on in July.
If you're not familiar w/ creating page kits, there are some great online resources that describe how to sort through your supplies and put together themed kits w/ your photos. It really helps you see what you might need. Gallon and 2 gallon freezer bags are a great way to organize these and can be used over and over. Look for more blog posts throughout July. Enjoy your last few days of spending before we start our no-buy in July challenge!

July Scrapbooking Challenge Details
I'm really far behind on my own scrapbooking and lacking the motivation to really get started on it again. So, I've decided to see if there are others out there like me to help motivate each other. Here are the details for my Use Your Stash Page Challenge for July:
--You may not purchase anything except scrapbooking adhesive or photo/ film developing in the month of July. Stock up now on anything you may need! We'll use the honor system on this one, but if you purchase other supplies, then you're out of this part of the challenge. Lets use up those supplies we have lying around collecting dust!
--Set a page goal for the month of July--as many as you feel comfortable completing or need to complete. The focus is on meeting your goal NOT who does the most pages for the month. Challenge yourself to get some pages accomplished!
--I will be providing prizes from my stash to the winners from both challenges--use your stash and page goals. Both digital and traditional scrapbook styles are welcome in this one. :)
What to do until July 1st--
1. sign up on this blog post or on my Facebook Fan page so I can get a list together. Names and email addresses will be helpful.
2. Order photos, purchase supplies, organize your scrapbook room/ supplies so you'll be ready to go once July 1st gets here next week. Remember, no purchasing new supplies in the new month!
3. If you make page kits to speed up the process, feel free to get started organizing your page kits.
I need this challenge more than anyone, and I'm so excited! Hopefully a few of you will decide to join the challenges with me. I promise to help make it fun for all of us!

Happy Mail from Two Chicks Designs!
After the last few months of health problems, I really needed a little something to cheer me up, and I just happened to win a March scrapbooking kit from Two Chicks Designs!

Friday Favorites--Printable Papers!
I confess--I'm addicted to scrapbook paper and use it for everything from the obvious cards and scrapbooking to decoupage and packing envelopes. I love it and can't get enough. Over the last few months, I've discovered printable scrapbooking papers on Etsy, and I love them ,too! The damask patterns in my shop are actually a printable paper that I purchased from Etsy seller cupcakecutiees, and they've been really popular items. Here are a few from my favorites:
Cupcakecutiees has great shop specials and sells everything from scrabble tile size to 8 1/2x11.
Damask--2 colors for $3.50 then print it as many times as you'd like!
Greenka sells everything from printable party supplies and business supplies to paper packs and more!
Printable Kiwi and Avocado Paper Pack--8 papers for $8

Wordless Wednesday--My Dream Closet
Yep, you read that right-my dream closet. I saw this email Tuesday evening, and I want this closet. I could keep everything at hand, then shut the door instead of cleaning up before company. I think my husband even liked it! More photos and details are posted on the Everything Etsy website at www.everythingetsy.com
