would anyone be interested in doing a 100 patterned paper challenge with me in 2024? i went into my room to scrapbook the other night and almost died, it was so freaking messy! i spent all night cleaning and still have a ton left to do. anyway, as i was cleaning things up i was making a pile of random papers i have purchased in the last few months and i kid you not, i have like a 2-foot stack of papers to deal with so, i figured a challenge was in order!
the 100 paper challenge just means you set a goal to use 100 papers during the year. whether you keep track of what you use while you're scrapping or put 100 papers in a box, on a shelf, whatever type of container is up to you. and "using" doesn't mean you have to use them entirely; cutting into them counts!
so would anyone be game to join me? this wouldn't be a challenge with a winner, although using up 100 sheets of paper sounds like winning to me
I can do this with you!
OCD is not an adjective. It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized. It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son.
I can do this, but my problem is that I save the scraps, and usually it ends up taking up even more space!!
Stacey you rock!!!
It's been my intention to re-start this in January lol because I lost track! So count me in for sure!!!
I KNOW what you mean when you say 2 feet of paper!
I've been working on organizing this month and, well, yeah I've got tons of other arts and crafts stuff, but OH MY GOODNESS! Do I EVER have paper!
I've even considered it in cost, too! Lol say on average a sheet is a $1. THAT would MEAN that I have enough $$ in paper to make a car payment! Oops lol sorry NOT sorry!

i'm glad to see there's some interest, yay! i'm going to start getting papers together and figure out what sort of container to use.

I definitely need to try to do this! I paper scrap and digi scrap, but it's so easy to just keep buying paper and then digi scrap, so I don't have to clean up! smh

This sounds fun. Is anyone else asking themselves: “How many pieces of paper do I usually use on a layout?”
I'm totally in. Should be interesting when I go south, trying to keep track of it all!

I like this challenge. Does it matter the paper size 6x6, 8x 10, 13 x13… Scraps?

I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure.

nope, it's your paper so you can choose whatever size you want and scraps totally count! i hope you'll join in

I am definitely in!! I've got so much paper and yet I keep buying more. I want to challenge myself to use 100 sheets of paper before buying more.
I would be interested.
