I am pretty much up to date with my scrapbooking, but my goal this year is to use up ALL of my scraps in various ways. This will also help in the second goal after that of organizing all of my supplies. There will be NO buying of anything this year, except for consumables such as adhesives.

I set big goals for 2021. A card, a tag and a double page layout every month. Getting ahead on my Christmas cards by making at least one card a month, or more. Making tags because they inspire me and help me try new techniques. Double page layouts because I have 20 years of photos in boxes that deserve to be on pretty pages.
I would love to wind a class to improve my style and technique and learn different layouts. My style has grown over the years. I am documenting my daughters lives.

My scrapbook goal for 2021 is to do more long weekends away with other scrappy friends. I find it so refreshing & inspiring to get away with like minded people and we all seriously get lots of pages, cards or other projects cranked out. I love how we all share products and ideas to make each others’ pages/projects the best. The time spent doing a hobby I love is so good for my soul!
This is going to be a catch-up (not ketchup) year. We moved from our house that we were in for 43 years into a Retirement 2 bedroom condo, so this past year has seen us doing a lot of downsizing. I’m ready now to go back to 2017 and scrap forward from there.
My goal is to document my 3 new grandchildren’s first year! There are hundreds of photos and lots of firsts to document. I plan on using up a lot of my stash!

Hmmm…paper crafting goals for 2021. I have an ongoing list of scrapbooking projects that I’d like to work on/finish, but honestly, this year, I would be okay with getting a dozen layouts completed. I have thousands of photos to scrapbook and that seems daunting, so I need to look at the smaller picture!

I am five years into scrapbooking and still feel lost when I see a blank page. These online classes really help me gain confidence and practice in a time when we are all socially distancing and finding a bew rhythm to life.

I would love to win this class 🤞
To be more confident and productive by taking less time choosing the “perfect” pattern paper for a layout or card rather than shuffling through so many options before making a decision.
I do scrapbooks for each of my grandchildren and for my daughter. I am CURRENT from 2017-2020 finally (yes even in albums), so time to step back and catch up on 2015 and 2016 AND my daughter’s wedding album from 2012 all while keeping current as the photos roll in!
I also want to streamline my stash organization a bit more and start using what I’ve got, although I have been really trying to. It’s just so much fun to hoard more!
I would love to be the winner of this class to perhaps keep me more focused and motivated without having to “think” so much. A roadmap would be perfect.
2021 is the year to get my photos organized! Hopefully, with this process I will be able to scrapbook and tell the stories!

My goal this year is to finish scrapbooks of my daughters high school, dance, drill team, graduation, etc……pictures. It is a large goal since there are so many but with your great products and inspiration I am up for the challenge!

This year I would love to complete at least 52 layouts! And finish off some stragglers that need journalling or dates added.
My goal is to get photos on the hundreds of designed pages I have made with no photos
My big goal is to sort my printed photos into correct years. The years before I became a scrapper. Then once in order I could start scrapping them.
My goal for 2021 is to have all prior years of photos scrapped! Sounds like not a huge endeavor, right? If I tell you I’m currently working on 2009 would you think differently? Wish me luck!
I would really like to complete several years of albums. I have some years completed, but I would like to finish years that are mostly done. I would also like to learn to streamline what photos we are printing and scrapbooking. We take a ton of photos, and we find it impossible to scrap them all of course. So picking out the really important and good photos to start with and go from there!
My plan for 2021 is to get my photos organized and finish my children’s school albums. Who by the way have been out of school for a while now!!!!
My 2021 paper crafting goals is to learn lots of new stuff. I haven’t been scrapping a year yet so maybe take some classes and incorporate my new knowledge on my pages. I want to try stamping and mixed media and use them on my pages too. Get caught up on my photo stash from 2018. If I’m learning new things and being creative I will be one happy lady! Thank u
I have been an dedicated scrapbooked and card maker since 1995 and have never stopped enjoying my passion for memory making and personalized cards. Covid only gave me more time to create and set up a little corner of my bedroom to isolate and create. It has kept me busy sane and lowers my blood pressure for and stress for sure !! For 2021 my goal is to catch up on my grown children’s albums if their life events . I’m only about 2 years behind. My daughter is getting married next year and we adopted a new rescue puppy Covid project 2020 which gives me more ideas and topics to scrapbook now! I donated cards to Cards for care as well. Can’t wait to continue to learn new ideas and see new products to use . I truly missed going to the live scrapbook events and conventions thus year . It’s the first time I’ve missed in over 15 years ugh. Looking forward to a productive and healthy new year and more scrapbooking and card making
My goal is to just keep going – trying to do something scrapbook related every week. Not just this year but forever.
My goal. for 2021 scrapbooking is to just learn new techneichs I’m so limited I feel like it’s really stopping me from making pages I go to start and just get lost because I’m not really sure what to do so that’s my goal to learn as much as possible so I can scrapbook my kids and just have fun doing it
Moving in our new house and
hope to get my craft room in
order and scrapbook more!
Carla from Utah
Get a craft room up and running again. Scrap more this year.
My goal for 2021 is to learn and use my new Cricut Explore Air 2 cutting machine. I also want to finish up all my unfinished layouts and mini albums from the past year. I am loving all the inspiration you continue to share.
My goal for 2021 is to get back to scrapbooking. I was very uninspired in 2020, but want to get organized and get busy. In 2020 I sent homemade cards twice a week to my 2 young grandsons since I could not see them. They loved it and I will continue that – even once I can see them again. It’s been fun for them, fun for me, and a great way to use some of my scrapbook tools and lots of scraps and supplies.
My goal for 2021 is to create a layout a day using my stash. Once I empty a cube on my kallax I can buy more paper or any embellishments. To make time for myself even if I don’t finish the project that day at least I started and enjoyed the process. Happy new year to all and let’s craft away.
My goal is to do at least one layout a week. So far….I’m thinking that I’m going to end up doing them all in December!
I would love to finish some old projects and start some current pages.
I would like to continue my exploration of digital scrapbooking. I still love to touch and feel my scrapbook pages though so think hybrid layouts would be perfect for me! I did give it a try last year and created a couple but still feel intimidated by the whole digital process.
My goal for this year is to finish all four of my kids school albums from jk-12 and also put pictures in every album I have made or every layout I have made that had missing photos.
Happy New Year! My goal this year is to better organize my digital photos as I take them…and try to deal with all of the old ones!
My 2021 scrapbooking goals are to finish the third of three of our wedding albums. The other 2 were finished last year. YES!! And, to finish our 2018 family albums, however many that may be. I know it’s not much, but my scrapping time is limited due to my little boys.
My goal is to be able to re-institute my card making
classes. I’ve been having them in my home for
over 10 years. Miss seeing everybody and sharing
friendship and inspiration.

My goal is to learn how to make better pictures of my projects.
My paper crafting goal for 2021 is finish projects. I’m bad for starting them and then setting them aside to ad pictures, or embellishments and then never go back. i have a bunch of finished pages with no stories to tell! That’s my goal..fingers crossed.
I want to get caught up on my Scrapbooking…. 2018…. the pics are printed just need to do the scrapbooking….
in 2021 my crafty goal is to learn digital scrapbooking
What a great lineup! My goal is to make a lot more cards for Xmas to give away at retirement homes.
My goal for 2021 is to find, and make time to scrapbook my son’s school years. I have such a large, untouched stash after an upside down 2020 and am itching to get creative again.
