Moments in time scrapbooking8/19/2023 There’s one common thread throughout all my least favorite pages from the last five years and it’s this simple fact: they don’t contain enough story. MISS: Not focusing enough on the story…or leaving it off completely My albums are essentially journals of my life during the past five years and I think that is oh-so-cool. I scrap the stories that matter most to me when they matter to me and I think there’s something incredibly magical about that. I LOVE looking back and seeing all these little bits and pieces of my life that I would have otherwise forgotten. Perhaps this is a benefit of being a child-free scrapper and not having a constant reminder of just how fast my children are growing up, but I love having the freedom to scrap what I love most. I am all about keeping things low stress. One thing I am forever grateful for when it comes to my scrapbooking is that I never got caught up into the whole idea of being, well, “caught up.” No having to scrap every photo in chronological order for this girl. And yes, that is me pretending to eat an entire block of cheese. Whenever I look through my layouts, pages like this always make me smile a big goofy grin… HIT: Taking time to document life’s little moments…and quirks This is one relic from my early scrap years that I would definitely like to revisit more today. Plus I love seeing the variety of sizes and styles in my albums. It’s good for my creativity and it pushes me to see things in a different light. Over the years, I’ve moved away from this in favor of more paper-centric CT friendly layouts and while I don’t really regret it, I do miss stepping outside my regular style comfort zone more often. When I look through my folders of digi layouts of yore, one thing that really strikes me from my early days is the amount of design variety in my layouts. Back then not only did I scrap both 12×12 and 8.5×11 layouts but I regularly switched between a more paper scrapbooking style and a more graphic magazine style. Think of it as an Oscar Best & Worst Dressed list but with less designer duds and more scrapbooky goodness.
