One of the problems I have is once I have decided on how to place photos and journaling what embellishments to use. I have a lovely scrapbooking room and am surrounded by containers of scrapbooking items. So much so that I go on over load on what exactly I should be using.
So I have taken the idea I learnt from Darci Dowdle class:-
- I pick various photos from my albums – if they are an event I may have picked more than I actually use but then they can either go back in the albums, my category drawer or be used to scrapbook a different story I want to tell.
- I jot down notes/full journaling of the stories I want to tell with the photos.
- I fill plastic storage containers with a variety of embellishments – (flowers, brads, ribbon etc). I then limit myself to only using these.
I have my collection of sketches so I can grab one to use when/if needed.
These all sit on my scrapbooking desk, along with my tools and adhesive so I have everything I need to be able to get scrapbooking. Leaving me only the cardstock and patterned paper to pick (which I normally leave until I have decided on the sketch I am going to use and photos I’m scrapbooking) and lettering for my title.
