I just wanted to share with you, something I’m working on at
the moment. I know it all looks a bit of a mess, but honest; there is a method
in this madness.
Last year my cousin got married – it was a very small family
wedding and although she had a photographer; of course Simon took his camera.
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to do a mini album for her, but just wasn’t sure
where to start. So I did my very first order with Photobox (got slightly
carried away) and 50 photographs later, I was still stumped.
Luckily for me, the crop girls came to my aid. They
suggested I work at it, a bit like a production line – cut all my cardstock
first; then a quick embellish of each
page with pretty paper; stick photos on and then go back and “pretty” up. And, I have to say, it’s working. I know that
if I worked at each page as a layout, as a whole, I’d never get it finished.
So here you are; this is how its looking so far; I’ll come
back and show you the finished project.
Such beautiful papers! I think this is a great idea in how to tackle it too - it makes it much easier and you are not trying to reinvent the wheel each time.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely idea,Sandra....very pretty papers....and makes it all so much more manageable.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind me mentioning.....but your 'follow this blog on bloglovin' doesn't actually connect to Bloglovin.....you can get a button from them that automatically goes to the site to allow someone to follow you.
Thanks Jacky, I got the button from them! Ok back to the drawing board and try again lol
DeleteI think that is the only way to approach it, with so many photos/pages. The papers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteFi xx
It's working now!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lot of fun to me and sounds like a good plan to get an album completed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super project and how sensible your crop ladies are.
ReplyDeleteJust the little I can see looks beautiful x
ReplyDeleteLooks good, can't wait to see the finished product! X
ReplyDeleteThe album is coming together beautifully. A great way of approaching what could otherwise be a very daunting task.

What a lovely idea and a great way to go about it. Look forward to seeing it when it's finished :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! I did a production line for my sister's wedding album a few years back I remember..it kind of made me wonder if there was some way I could do all my scrapping like that!
ReplyDeleteThis album looks great from these peeks Sandra x
ReplyDeleteGreat way to tackle a big project! Stacy Julian used to teach a class called Finish Line Scrapbooking that followed a similar format.
ReplyDeleteOoh that's quite a project (50 photos) but I agree - a production line approach will get it finished before her Silver Wedding ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great way to tackle it and how I did the last mini book that I made. Looking forward to seeing all the finished work xx
ReplyDeleteI love this Sandra! A great way to get it done - I could learn from this LOL!
ReplyDeleteI call this functional scrapbooking - a way to get it all done, and quickly! Besides - if the people aren't crafters themselves, they don't appreciate the work that's gone in, and keeping it simple is the best way of uniting the album anyway. I will check back in and hope to see it finished soon! x
ReplyDeleteIt's all looking very good, I can't wait to see the finished pages x
