Day 1 of LOAD 514, completely off Lain's prompt. I think this is my 9th LOAD challenge. I am finally starting to catch up with the kids' scrapbooks and am almost done with our wedding album... maybe before our 9th anniversary :)

Well, I haven't hit a wall yet, although I did need a little break and a slow down after I finished LOAD! Maybe I'll have to do another 100 Sheet Challenge soon just so I can get closer to being caught up :)

Don't mind the bad photos this week... they were taken with my phone instead of my camera.

Load is over now and I still have 20 sheets of paper to use to meet my goal, which I am hoping I can meet by the end of June. However, my first task is to go back through some of my LOAD layouts and fix a few up (like the last one that was posted). Once I've gone back and fixed up some of the layouts I'm unhappy with, I would really like to finish my son's 3rd year scrapbook before my little girl arrives in August... I still have 12 layouts to do and I have to decide what to do about the two-week vacation we took last summer (separate book or just throw a two-page spread in his book or both)!

"I'm always up for a good challenge. So, when S from Snaps and Snippets challenged her readers to a race to use 100 sheets in her post School of Scrap, I dove right in."
I dove right in, used 8 sheets, then promptly forgot about the challenge! So, I'm challenging myself to try again. My goal is to use 100 sheets between May 1, 2011 and July 31, 2011. I'm hoping this challenge also helps me get caught up on my scrapbooking before baby girl gets here!
Want to join me?
I'm always up for a good challenge. So, when S from Snaps and Snippets challenged her readers to a race to use 100 sheets in her post School of Scrap, I dove right in.
Here are my first creations, 10 cards that were inspired by the desire to share my son's artwork. Now that they are created, I just need to write in them and get them mailed, which for me is the hard part!
Used:
- 5 colored cardstock
- 3 white cardstock (mostly for the inside of the card to write on)
8 sheets down, 92 to go!

After seeing the final product of other scrapbookers, I have been anxiously awaiting the news that this class was being offered again. So when I found out that the class was starting in September, I signed up immediately! If you are interested in finding out more about the class, check out the workshop description for Me: The Abridged Version at Big Picture Scrapbooking.
I am so excited about this class that I have already begun the pre-class assignment, creating a tag book. I didn't use the template that was provided by the instructor, Cathy Zielske, so I thought I'd share what I did.

And, on top of having my tag book done, I've already starting making notes on what I want to document. Already loving this project!
