100 Patterned Paper challenge update

Today's the day to share an update on how my 100 paper challenge is progressing!  Well, let's say not the progress I was hoping for but I am still hanging in there! I started on January 1st and usually when I start something I start strong and then start to lose momentum...this time I'm the opposite, my February was better then my January but yet still not so great- maybe this is a good sign I will finish strong!!! 🤞 If you are joining me mid challenge you can see my first post HERE. I started out with 100 papers.  In January I used up FIVE pieces.  In February I used up 6 papers and ONE collection kit!! Yay!  So while better then January not where I wanted to be, my goal was 8 papers....so I did not meet my goal and don't get my cute traveler's notebook I was wanting...but that will give me even more reason to work harder this month! Today I changed out my papers from "love" and "Winter" themed papers to "Spring" papers.  That was sure fun!  I did leave several collections in the stack as they were very versatile and I know I can use them all year round!  So the new collections I added were: Echo Park Sweet Day, Pebbles Seen & Noted, Echo Park Spring, Pebbles Girl Squad, Echo Park Sunny Days Ahead, Simple Stories Posh, and Fancy Pants Happy Place.  These are all fun lines so I am excited to dig into them! 

In January I used 10 things from my bashket of old stash and for February my goal was 11 items but I only used 5 items...so not as good as January😕  I have restocked my bashket as of today and included some goodies that go well with my papers so I should be able to use up some of these things this month...this month I have included 11 items to use in my bashket, they are: 1) coffee die cut 2) large kraft speech bubble die cut 3) PL quote card 4) PL hello lovely card 5) Dreamer tag 6) Sunny Thought stamp set 7) Mason jar/flower sticker 8) quote tag- Spring 9) Dinosaur tag 10) Sweetest thing words stickers and 11) Jillibean Soup journaling spots (2).  One thing I am doing better at so far is keeping track of what I am using up, which is helping me stay on track and keeping me from spending more and buying more! I sure don't need a darn thing...but I sure want a lot of things! 😳

Now for next month: GOALS FOR MARCH:  

1) Use 10 papers from my 100 paper stack

2) Use 8 items in my bashket

REWARD: Simple Stories I Am collection kit!!!  Love this line!
