A HUGE Challenge for Me!

In an effort to save some moola and be encouraged to USE WHAT I HAVE I have put myself on a scrapbooking buying FREEZE! Yes, that's right... until JUNE! There are a few rules which will keep me scrapbooking with what I have... here they are:

- I can buy basic supplies, but will try to use my coupons when I can (includes adhesive, pens, white/black cardstock, trimmer blades, Cricut blades/mats, etc.)
- I can also buy prints... how would I scrapbook without photos!?!?!
- I can buy scrapbooking gifts for people
- And finally (and this one is wishy washy) if I find a REALLY good deal that I CAN'T pass up, I can take advantage. (Example: I found a tab punch at AC Moore on clearance for $2.00... regular price was $20+! I couldn't pass that up!)

So, this is going to be a HUGE challenge for me, but honestly, I have so much STUFF that I should really be using it and spending less time shopping and more time actually scrapbooking! Plus, with my Project 365 kit I am able to document my life throughout the year and focus on some other projects that I have been wanting to do... (Decorating my scrap room/loft, wedding & honeymoon album, mini albums galore, etc...)

Wish me luck! It's going to be ESPECIALLY hard with CHA right around the corner and all those NEW goodies coming out and all the old ones on SALE! Grumble...
