A scrapper's Goal is sometimes elusive, but when we set one up, it tends to give us motivation to scrap. Kind of like wanting to be a teacher made me go through 5 years of college and lots of irritation for very little pay! :) Ok, so I love my kids and that makes it all worth while and I always have a new set of babies to scrap. My goals for this weekend are 2 pages on my Calendars (this is finish May and get June done!) This is what they looked like in the beginning! :) So, I have made progress from there and that motivates me to finish! That is a total of 6 pages. Let's see if I can do it! :) I also have lots of die cuts and things to make for the bulletin board at school too. :) I may show that later, if I get the pages done! :) Put your goals in the comments below and if you meet all your goals I will put a small RAK in the mail to you on Monday! :) Thanks for playing and have a fun!!! Now Set some goals and SCRAP!

With that being said, it is time to back off sketches and have fun designing again. Even if my style is blocky and linear, it will be my design...not how someone else told me to do it. :) Now, don...
