Tell Your Story in 2017

Scrapbook.  Merriam Webster defines Scrapbook as:

a blank book in which various items (as newspaper clippings or pictures) are collected and preserved

This sounds like a simple-enough description...  something that can easily be accomplished, right?  Yet for some reason, we seem to make this much more difficult. We've got photos everywhere (phone, tablet, camera, computer) but no longer seem to print them. Getting photos into an album seems to require a Herculean effort these days. Right?

Last year I tried to make a page/week album.  52 weeks.  7 photos per week on average.  364 photos.  This was going to be EASY... or so I thought.  It turns out that some weeks I had a LOT more than 7 photos and other weeks I had none.  Some months I was on top of my project and other times life got in the way.  It left me with an album that is half done and a feeling that I somehow failed.  Oh la la!

For twenty seventeen I am taking a different approach!  I'm going to simply add photos for every month. If I have 7 photos - great!  If I have even more - yippee! To make this easy, I've created a  3" x 4" journaling card for each month plus a 6" x 8" cover page for my album.  I've also created some "everyday" type 3" x 4" journaling cards that I can use throughout the year.  I made these to share with my local Crafty Ladies scrapbooking group (we try to meet monthly) and thought you might enjoy being part of our group too - virtualy!

You can get your FREE copy of my 2017 Tell Your Story Kit here.  I've also created a short video that you can watch here.

New to pocket page scrapbooking?  I'm working on a getting started video that I hope to share this week so stay tuned.

Happy New Year!
