I AM GUILTY!

Creatively Carol's Q & A Corner

Today’s question comes from Illinois, and I am just as guilty!  “I have been putting off scrapbooking all my pictures for the last three years. I have so many pictures I don’t know where to begin. Any Ideas?

I am embarrassed to say I am in the same situation. I have probably scrapped less than a dozen layouts of my own in the last several years.  Recently, I started to organize my photos, I knew I had many duplicates, had already scrapped the pictures, or they were generic number names. When I began this project, I found some pictures I knew I wanted to scrap, but never got around to getting them done.  I created a folder in the downloads folder (so I could find it fast) and put any pictures I came across that I really wanted to scrap. I then go back and print the pictures, match them up with papers and embellishments so when I have 15 minute block to put it all together, everything is ready to go.

Do you have a suggestion for how you would tackle the above problem? Leave a comment below and share your ideas with us!

 

Scrapbook Sketch for March 18, 2024

I know it has been a while, but I am back to posting sketches on Mondays. I will alternate between scrapbook sketches and card sketches.  Anyone who completes the sketch AND sends me a picture to post here on the site will be entered to win a retired stamp set from me.Scrapbook sketch 03182024

You can really use the size photos you want, as there is a lot of extra room on the two pages.  I hope to have my interpretation of the sketch posted before Friday.  I can’t wait to see what you come up with!  E-mail your page to Carol@CreativelyCarol.com or text to 801-800-0884.
