Back in July, I challenged myself to get scrapping again! I was finally in the mood so I gathered all the supplies I thought I'd need (which was quite a few!) and got busy making layout after layout every night for one week. I wanted to see how many I could complete by the end of the week. Well, I got to 20! Some are 1 pagers and some are 2 pagers. Some are pretty basic, but I was going for quantity, not necessarily quality. I love some of them, and some are just ok. I tried to remind myself that even "ok" layouts are DONE layouts!
It's been hard to stay scrapping with 2 kids and especially since sweet baby #2's closet is my scrapbook nook! All my supplies are held hostage each night as she sleeps (unless I think ahead & get out what I need ahead of time. Which rarely happens!) I'm one of those who has to (pretty much) scrap in chronological order, so I worked on layouts with pictures from late 2007 to 2008, which is where I currently am. Yes, that far back! It was fun to see my son as a toddler in the photos, all the while longing to create some girly pages of my daughter...all in due time! ;)
Disclaimer: These photos are not the greatest! Some are glarey and I didn't bother cropping them--but I still wanted to share my accomplishment. (Remember, you can click on the photo to see it enlarged.) Maybe I should make this a monthly challenge to myself??
Here's the first 10 layouts:
My Sassy Sister
Unwrapping
Too Sleepy To Smile
Learning to Color
Finger Foods
Decked (as in for Christmas!)
Family Fun
Time Flies
Read to Me
Stay tuned for the other 10 layouts....

Wow these are fabulous! Great job getting 20 done in a week! I know how you feel. I have 2 kids too and it's definitely way harder getting it done.
I especially love your Learning to Color page! Goes great with that background paper.
I'd love if you linked up on my Scrappy Saturdays! http://www.scrappy-gifts.com/2011/09/63rd-scrappy-saturdays.html
I love these layouts! I've been trying to "catch up" with my scrapbooking too. It's so hard! I also love that you put multiple pictures on each page. I feel that those 1 picture pages are nice, but unrealistic!
Thanks for linking up to Scrappy Saturdays! Featuring some of these today!
Wow - good job on all of them, I think. I had to laugh at your "hostage closet". Keep up the good work.
