wfmw - scrapbooks



It's been a while since I've participated in one of these, but life has been pretty hectic here. Not much sleep, let alone blogging going on. But I always check out the tips at Rocks in my Dryer.

Given that time is so tight these days and that I am about two years behind on my scrapbooks I have finally come to accept that they are not going to get done (at least not now anyway). My new idea is to make sure that I have collections of photos for those things that are really important to me, vacations, holidays, special events. I upload everything to my Snapfish account and build a memory book. I can do lots of layouts, different backgrounds, etc. The difference is that I leave blank pages for those things I know I need to put down (handwritten bits, souvenirs, etc) and if I want stickers I can add those later. I can even add handwritten journaling if I want. It's faster, easier and most definitely works for me.

I feel like the scrapbooking thing is a never-ending project, too. To me, just having the photos organized for scrapping later on is enough!

I am an awful scrapbooker. Maybe a little better at card making because there is a finish I can see.

This is a great idea & I'm going to share with my sister too.

Blessings.

Me too! Me too! I use Shutterfly, but it's the same thing - easy and fast! I have decided that I am going to scrap a few things, really big events the real way; it's a great compromise!
