I've posted some photos on twopeas of the Disney Autograph book I made from our trip in October. I got the idea to punch the square openings, or windows, from Ali Edward's "Scrapbook on the Road" featured in the March 2006 issue of Creating Keepsakes Magazine. My kids love books with "peek-through" windows, and as this book was for them, I couldn't resist trying this technique.
I hadn't done any scrapbooking since September, so it was really refreshing to sit down and do this project and get it done. Now if I could just figure out what to do with the 4 inch stack (600+ images) of photos from the rest of the trip!
You seem to have a very similar system to me in regards to oranganisation. The only difference being that I can't quite come to terms with having the leftovers in my regular photo albums. ie get 1 set printed, scrap the best ones and put the rest in albums. You seem to be quite chronologically minded like me and i'm just wondering why you don't put them all in albums. I'm posting this here because I would love to know what you ended up doing with the rest of your photos you took on your trip?!! I just can't rest easy until i come up with a way of managing all the photos i take (500+/month). Do you delete a lot, how do you choose what to print?? No one seems to understand my dilemma and after seeing your blog, i thought you could share your thoughts. It would be SO MUCH appreciated. I want to stop spending time working out how to organise, and actually do it and hopefully have time to scrap as well. Unfortunately my mind is one that like everything to be organised before i can start work, IYKWIM!
Also, I have just started a blog as a way of recording all the precious moments and things about the kids but I just seem like I am doubling up all the time. Do you feel like this??
