Love your albums! ❤ I love decluttering! It’s great to use products that I bought some time ago! 😍 don’t worry about white space- just have fun with the pics and create! Simplicity will make it FUN! 😍🤩
So I saw some 2019 videos where you used a HP! Did you go back to PL? I do a past album and the current album every year - and I take a lot of photos too! I use a canon selphy! Such a game changer! ❤
You did a great job adding to the 12x12 layouts. They look so much more interesting plus adding the story will mean so much more years from now when the details are even harder to remember.
Thank you so much, Gina! I agree that the stories will matter even more when I look at the albums later! Thank you for watching and for the encouraging comment <3
Lost my 10 months old cat 2 weeks ago, and every single moment ever since has been hell on earth for me. I’m a 28 years old grown man and cats for many reasons give me peace and deeper connections than any human could.Now I carry the guilt of being incompetence and not treating him right that a life was cut short because of it. Now I can only pray to God to take care of my baby, and to give him so many friends to play with and all those treats he liked. My boy was a literal joy furball in our family. He’s so loving and playful who loved all the attention.I just miss him dearly.
You're welcome, I'm so glad it was inspiring for you! And thank you for watching and lovely comment. I hope you have a great time going through your old albums, whatever you decide!
I used a number stamp to stamp out the years on a small piece of white paper and then inserted that into the metal title holder that comes on the spine of the albums. 😄
I've done this as well. It is wonderful having albums filled with only the things I really love and value. I also appreciate how it has influenced my creating going forward, I love almost everything I create now and there has been so much less purging as the years have gone on. Tip: those "garbage" layouts/components/photos are great to reuse in junk journaling!
Oh yes, I had that experience too that I get better at making things I love long term the more I declutter. Just getting to know my style and what I value in a layout more. 😄🙌 I don't do too much junk journaling these days but I can see how that'd work!
Thank you for sharing your decluttering process Laura. I do that too but there are almost no videos about it... Can't wait to see the new pages you create with what you saved from the old spreads. 💖😁🙏
Oh yes! I have a few old videos in my "decluttering my craft room" playlist where I've done this before, but love doing every few years. So glad I'm not the only one 🙌🎉
@@amber9694 yes, her reconstructing Disney album videos are great for inspiration with decluttering and remaking old layouts into something you love! 😄🙌
Nice craft room, it will be amazing! To get your printer up off the floor, consider getting a piece of wood cut to the size of the top of your wire drawers. Put the printer on top of the drawers if it’s sturdy enough to hold the weight.
This layout turn out so cute! I like how you talking to your cat in the middle of the video haha. I enjoy watching your scrapbook process video, I prefer 8.5 x 11 size scrapbooking.😊
Oh thank you, Katie! I'm loving the fall season. I think it's got such cute elements to play with, scrapbookin wise! Thank you for watching and for the sweet comment 🥰😄
Oh yay! I'm so glad this was helpful with ideas to use it. I think the size is slightly less rectangular than 4x6 but close to that size. I think it's like 4×5.5 or something like that
@@LauraRahel I love your idea to use Felicity Jane ( I’ve been hoarding my kits for something special lol). When I get home I’m going to pull together a kit. I’m thinking 4x6 white paper with room for a number, a photo and a little journaling interspersed with a 3x4 sheet of double-sided patterned paper. I wrote it all down and sketched it all out so I don’t forget lol. Then I thought maybe mixed media for my cover. You are so inspiring! Thanks for the tip on following Felicitas. I will check her out.
Ahhhh this is an amazing question and I would love to know the answer for it haha. Honestly, I end up with way more than 30 photos each month. For traditional scrapbooking like this, I only choose my favorite photos to document. I don't feel any pressure to include every photo because that's the role Project Life plays for me. Narrowing down photos for project life is a lot more challenging for me because that's where I capture the majority of my photos/memories. I would love to hear the answer to this question from some scrapbookers who are more streamlined and minimal than me. Thank you for watching and for the kind comment!
Thank you! Autumn colors are the best, aren't they?! All about those warm earth tones. And that method doesn't work 100% of the time, but it works better than doing nothing to align the letters! I picked that up from another youtube video, years ago :D
OMG! When Bender came and laid on the LO! So flipping adorable, melted my heart! My cat, Ella, does the same thing…always! Oh and the LO is beautiful too! Maggie Holmes is awesome!
I prefer PL, but also enjoy 12x12 LOs. Would love if you shared more in depth details of your process…what you chose, why, just more details, etc. Actually, I would just enjoy if your videos were a bit longer.💜
Oh thank you Kimberly! Between my traditional scrapbooking videos and my PL videos, there are probably a couple hundred to watch on my channel 😄. And thank you! That is so kind of you! I've thought about doing real time videos talking through my choices, but those would be so long haha. Maybe live stream though one day?
Laura, I’m sorry you had numerous negative experiences in the past. Those are a part of your story and are also important. I was looking for more PL videos when I saw this one. My thought was, take a break but you should ABSOLUTELY get back into it! Your LO are so awesome! Then I looked ahead on your channel and was relieved to see you did in 2021! 💕 I can’t wait to binge your process videos to get some more inspiration! 🤩
Thank you so much Kimberly- such an encouraging message to receive today! 🥰😄 I'm am working on PL now and also going back and finishing lots of previous years PL albums that never were completed so I should have lots of PL videos coming in the future! 😄😍 I'm so happy to hear you've been loving those videos! Thank you for the encouragement to keep making them 🤗😊
