Scrapping Just for Me!

Don't get me wrong -- I love my classes and our monthly meetings. But I rarely scrap pages just for my very own book. The last week or two I have come up with a new way to scrap my very own stuff!
  1. First I browse online, mostly on http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/ and hit print pics for pages that catch my eye.

  2. Then I print my fav pics -- the scrapworthy ones. I spread them out all over the floor and flip through my pages to see which layouts would coordinate with the group of pics.

  3. I take my layout and pics and dig through my hoards of patterned paper and add it to the stack.

  4. I throw all the pieces -- along with any embellishments that fit -- into a page protector.

  5. Lastly I order any bigger/smaller prints that I need to match the layouts.

Then I have all these kits, pics and all, ready to pull out and work on. If I want to go to a crop -- they are ready. Or, when I get scraplocked on a layout I stuff it away and grab a new one. And the funny thing is -- all that inspiration started from a layout I copied. And my layouts still look unique and sometimes completely different than the idea I started with.

Anyway -- working this way I finished a few layouts and I have a ton on their way. Here are a couple that I have ready to show you.
