APRIL 100 papers challenge!
April?  What the what?  Are you ready for month 4 of our year-long paper bashing challenge?  How is everyone doing?  I did amazing in March; my total is now 212 sheets, which doesn't count scraps or papers smaller than 8.5x11/12x12.  I'm going to keep trucking along and hopefully I can keep track all year to see how many sheets I've cut into, thereby justifying buying more  😂

I just want to reiterate that anything goes with this challenge!  Layouts, cards, journal spreads, traveler's notebooks, home decor, whatever you want to make with your paper is allowed.  Digi scrappers too; however you want to figure your 100 is A-OK!

I'm glad to see so many cherries participating and hope everyone is having fun and bashing some stash in the process!

If you have any questions, please pm me, rather than posting on the thread.  I get notifications every day, every time someone posts on the thread and most of those are just updating their spot, therefore it's really easy for me to miss a question!

Re: APRIL 100 papers challenge!
I've done a LOT better than I thought I would with this challenge!!!  :)  I only have 7 left to hit 100!  So I think after I do those 7 I'm going to start counting like you Sandi.  I can definitely see the difference in my paper stash!  I need to figure out how I'm going to replenish it without busting the budget!  :)

7-3=4;

Image   7-3=4
Image  4-2=2
Image  2-2=0 And add 2 for the next round! 
Image 2+4=6

Image   6+6=12
Image 12 +2 = 14
Image  14+3=17

Jan - 84
Feb - 75
March - 56

I'll be traveling so it will be interesting to see what I can get done!

Re: APRIL 100 papers challenge!
I just found this challenge, and I’m so in! 

I have no tally on papers used until now, but going forward I’m counting everything  :greenlol:

As I work mostly from page kits that I’ve made myself, it won’t be too difficult to start counting. 

I also really like the idea of pulling 10 papers and going from there, that would be fun and a different take on my usual kits. 

Now I’m thinking that I could pick 100 papers and build some kits around them, to really mix and match and use up some of my really old stash. 

So many ideas, so little time  :greenwinkb:
Add some sparkle to your life :)

welcome!!  i started by pulling a whole bunch of page kits and once i went through them, i have just been counting as i've been scrapping.  i only count new papers (8.5x11 or 12x12) and cutting into them counts as "using" them--but feel free to work it however you'd like!  i've used some ancient stuff (remember Cherry Arte??  lol) in the process and am loving it!!

Total - 8/100

I’m going to have to join in on this. Not sure how I want to approach it yet but it is definitely on my mind! I think a cute graph to color in to keep track would be fun!
