I just spent a lovely day scrapping with one of my best friends, Becky. I love her approach to her pages, she is a planner. I love the way she lays things out and moves them around a million times, very much like I do. We both fight and at times embrace perfectionism. We go to great lengths to correct things that nobody else would even notice. All possible options must be explored before final placement is decided. It is a beautiful thing to watch my friend scrapbook and see her memories come alive on her lovely pages. What is your approach?
I am hoping to scrapbook with another of my best friends later this week (gotta love vacation). Her approach is entirely different...can you say speed scrap? She is amazingly quick but also creates the most wonderful pages for all three of her children. Yes, she does three sets of pages for each family event...she has to be fast.
My approach is pretty methodical....I start with my photos. I lay them out on my large cutting mat and rearrange until I find the right number of photos that fit with some sense of balance. I like to use as many photos as possible to tell the story. Next, I pick back ground paper, followed by matting paper, then mat all my photos. Now, I rearrange again and start adding page elements and titles. Once all that is in place I am either done or move on to embellishments. Finally, I adhere it all to the page. I hate this part. I can have a page all done and leave it sitting for days just waiting or adhesive.
I love scrapping with friends...good stuff!!
