Scrap From Your Stash begins today!

We're off and running!!!!!!!!!! or should I say scrapping. I've joined the ladies and gent at Scrap101 in a SFYS challenge. It goes from today until June 3rd. During that time we are not allowed to buy any new scrapbooking supplies (other than adhesives). We are do create as many layouts as we can out of our stash of scrapbooking supplies........hence the name SFYS.

I was talking to Bobbie and I told her maybe we should change the rules to NO shopping the 2 weeks prior to starting the challenge. I spent almost $100 getting ready for this challenge. ROTFLMBO!!!!!!

Recently there has been discussion about how with 1" of scrapbook paper you can do 100 pages. So out of curiosity I measured my 12 x 12" paper and my 8 1/2 x 11" paper.

Don't laugh because you're either ahead of me or gaining ground quickly. Are you ready to read how much paper I have?????

Okay, you're sure you can handle this???????

Positive????

Are you sitting down??????????

Do you have a friend to hold your hand when you read the amount of paper I have?????

Have you called 911 and have the ambulance standing by???????????

Oh, no!!!! I'm not sure that I am ready to go public with my confession!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe!!!!!!!!!

Maybe Not!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting all giddy!!!!!

Is it excitement or is it fear????????????

Okay............I can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really I can!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you sure you are ready???????????????

Tune in next time to find out exactly how much paper this little ole' scrapper in Oregon has stashed away.

Now honestly did you think I'd leave you hanging in suspence??????????????

Me???????????

I'd never do anything like that to my scrapping sisters and brother.

I guess it's now or never.

Okay here it is....................................................................................................................................................15" of 12 x 12" paper..............................10" of 8 1/2 x 11" paper.....................1" of 8 x 8" paper......................and a big huge box of scraps. Of course the scraps are all neat and organized into solid colors and patterned paper in 1 gallon plastic bags.

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so much better since I confessed!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel so much better.............I think I'll go shopping for more paper!!!!!!!!

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you think I was going to lose on the first day? Shame on you.
