I have been accused by friends of being a minimalist.
I like it basic.
I seldom sticker.
I never ribbon.
If I can design a page & get it put together in less than 10 minutes then I am a very happy woman.
One of my favorite layouts uses up scraps of paper like this. It is simple, easy & uses up something I feel bad throwing away!
That is probably why I haven’t switched to digital scrapbooking. I like to make fast easy layouts. Learning to digital scrapbook seems like an overwhelming task. So for now I am sticking to what I know & using what I have. Simple & frugal.
Every October & Mar/April I go to a Scrapbook Getaway. It is a blast & I usually get a lot done.
This time when I returned I didn’t repack my supplies. Instead I took them downstairs & set up a couple of folding tables. Now I have no excuse because it is all set up.
Now I just need to sneak away for a few minutes.
A small thing but hard to do.
I was able to find 30 minutes last week. I made 2 titles with my Cricut for pages that I already had put pictures on.
It doesn’t seem like much but it is more than I had done in the past 5 months. I am shooting to do more than that this week since we will be home more. I love days at home. I would love to complete this album and put it on the shelf! Here is some of what I’ve been working on—just because!
Several years ago (before becoming more interested in simple living) I started up scrapbooking and had the idea that I needed to BUY everything. So now I have loads of stuff, and litle motivation. I've decided to not allow myself to purchase any more supplies and only use what I already have. I must say that it makes the hobby more affordable. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI was the same as you for a long time... I thought I would never switch to digital scrapping. I was a simple scrapper too, with pages that sometimes barely have paper! BUT, I did switch to digital (although I still have TONS of my other stuff) and I find I can do pages MUCH faster, especially with a 2 year old. : ) I am gonna do a post about it today!
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting some done! Looks great - and the photos are just beautiful!

Beautiful! I'm not a stickers and ribbon kind of scrapbooker either. Which is EXACTLY why I bought "Project Life" instead of sticking with traditional scrapbooking. It takes up too much of my already scarce time. :) Thanks for linking up to "No Mom Talk Monday" today! So excited to have you!!
