For anyone who didn't see the original thread, this is a challenge where you make a personal goal to use 100 sheets of patterned paper (or cardstock) in the year 2024. You can use scraps, 6x6 pads, whatever you want, because this is your adventure and your paper! Everyone is welcome, whether you make only layouts or cards, art journals or even digital pages (perhaps you'll want to choose 100 kits or elements to use?)
This will not be a challenge where a winner is chosen, because we'll all be winners for using our stash
Whether you are just keeping a tally, or you have set aside 100 papers to start, go ahead and post your projects to this thread and let us know what progress you're making. I can't wait to see everyone's 100 and their beautiful work!
Any questions, post on the thread or pm me and I'll be happy to help ETA: you DO NOT have to use each paper up entirely! cutting into and using each sheet counts.

That's a great idea starting with 10 a month!Breauxlabs wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 9:53 amI’m in! I think I am going to pull 10 papers a month, first concentrating on kits that just have a couple pieces left and finish those off. Then pulling 10 from my very old stash. If I don’t use the old papers by the end of the year - out they go! I’ll take a pic of my first 10 when we get home!

I'm pulling 10 papers at a time. Once those are used, I'll pull 10 more and add them to the gallery post I made.
Total papers used - 8/100
Here are the first 10 that I've chosen. These were a random pull. 6/10
3 papers here (including 2 from the 10 I pulled and one vellum!)
2 here, including 1 from the original 10 pull.
3 here, 2 from the original pile of 10. I'm not counting the scraps and things....

*Some of the papers are full size sheets, but any scraps I have left are going into a clean scrap bin. After this round, I'm probably gonna do this again!

Thanks for allowing Digi....I actually have 183 DVD's of papers/kits stored from my past 17 years doing digi! One of the best things about it is being able to reuse favorites. lol So, I'm going back to some of those really old DVD's to find papers I want to use for the other 50!
ok i will never talk about my paper addiction again lol you win! you're very welcome about digi; using is using, so why not?
