Here's the scoop girls!! This month we're on a no spending challenge. I intentionally did not warn anyone because I was really tempted myself to place a couple orders online before the challenge started and that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it?

But you can't just sit around not spending, you have to actually use up that current stash. So the challenge is, you've got to do 10 pages this month using just your current supplies. The only thing you can buy is adhesive, or have pictures printed.

Now, if you *really* want to buy something this month, but you don't want to lose the challenge, you can do 20 pages using your current stash. That will earn you the right to shop again! lachen

Leah and the CPs are doing a frugal scrapbooking theme on the mojo blog. So that should give you lots of ideas for pages using your stash!

Digital scrappers can participate too, you just can't order any digi supplies. You are allowed to print pages though.

If you're participating in the challenge, please reply here to let us know and add this blinkie to your signature now:

I can do this...really! It'll be good to use up some of the stash before the traditional spending spree at the CK convention in April...!

Definitely count me in

I'm in on this one. I really need to use up a lot of what I already have rather than continually adding to the stash!

Oh I am sooo in! I have been really trying to organize my goods as I have been filling my cubes that will hopefully be moving in the new scrap room soon (hint hint DH...too bad he doesn't read SV LOL)

Looking forward to the challenge. I am going to a full day crop Saturday and plan on getting stuff organized and packed Thurs. and Friday.

Darn... won't have my stuff by the end of the month... Wish my mom had photoshop, but even then I wouldn't be able to digi scrap without buying new!
