I AM GUILTY!

by

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!

 

There is No Excuse for No Photos Anymore

Your cell camera is probably as close as your hand!As I sat in church today watching the two little boys playing Ninja Turtles I was taken back 25 years to when my son Gary Jr loved playing with his Ninja Turtles. Whether it was Shredder, Michael Angelo, Donatello, or the others, they were always guests at our breakfast table.  Who would have thought these little turtle toys were last a second generation? I have no pictures of him playing with them and today I realized it saddens me. You don’t know how good you have it today. We had to decide if the pictures were worth the price of developing and printing, much less knowing it was not out of focus.

Gary still remembers his beloved Ninja Turtles, wishing he still had them to share with his son. So remember, your cell phone is probably within 4 feet of wherever you are, snap the pictures, and store them somewhere, forever, you may want to share those pictures with your grandkids.

Do you have a moment you wish you had a picture to go with it? Share with us below.
