NO BUY/NO SPEND Challenge - 2008!

Hi Ladies!

Now that we have a spot to chat it up, I thought it would be a good idea to post the "rules" of our little challenge!

We have all been guilty in 2007 of buying tooo much! If your scrap space is like mine you have no room to put new stuff.. We need to USE the stuff we have bought, not buy more!

So, here is the plan....

You will promise (honor code.. pinky swear, whatever) to NOT purchase ANY scrapbook products (excluding the following)
*adhesive
*photos/photo processing/ink involved in photo processing
*previously commited kit club supplies (however, if your subscription ends during the challenge time, you MAY NOT renew)

You will scrap, with the products on-hand, 20 pages.
The first member to scrap and post links (please post your own thread like Brandi P did) to each page (for now you can post your pages anywhere and then link them up here) to 20 pages will be RAKed a $20.00 gift certificate to their favorite online store...

The second person will be RAKed a TBD prize
The third person will be RAKed a TBD prize

Once you have reached the goal (whether you are the first, second or third or last) you may reward yourself by purchasing $20.00 worth of products... and then begin again! (20 more pages)

I will be posting new prizes/challenges once the first three people finish!

I will also be posting inspiration for you to work from.. Feel free to use it or not... let me know if you have any ideas for inspiration as well!

*** If you agree to the challenge..
Post a thread of your own in this forum... include your name.. and in your first post say "I am in" (or whatever)... that will be where you post your links!

** All pages/projects must be NEW and not posted before**
** Mini Albums - 4 pages =1 **
** Home Decor projects = 2**

Anything else?
Post your questions here!
