faster scrapbooking

I don’t know about you, but I’m always in search of products that will help me scrapbook my memories faster. That’s why I’m loving the new Ditto line from Hampton Arts!

This collection of products is designed to help you do just that–scrapbook faster and with little to no designing required! Start with a binder (either 8 1/2 x 11 or 8×8) and a pack of insert pages. Each pack contains almost 100 pages, with different styles in each pack (photo pockets, calendar pages, cool half-pages, and more). You can even mix 8×8 pages in your 8 1/2 x 11 binder. Then, you simply add in your photos where you want, jot down a few notes, and add a few simple embellishments, like coordinating photo pockets and envelopes, stamps, tags, or sticky notes. Throw in various memorabilia like tickets, receipts, etc., too. Remember, no planning–just stick stuff down as you go and that’s it!

It’s like having a personal planner/calendar and scrapbook, all-in-one. Ditto scrapbooks are awesome for documenting your daily life, a special trip, or those memories that you want to record, but don’t want to make a full 12×12 layout for. Use it to document a child’s first year, the process of building a house, planning a wedding, give it to your child to document their high school or college memories, and much more. There are seriously so many options!

Check out these fantastic samples created by Hampton Arts!




Cool, right? Get to Archiver’s to see the entire Ditto line for yourself. A full album sample for you to flip through is coming soon to each store, too!

It’s no secret that I love We R Memory Keepers pocket pages. They allow me to fit so many more photos into my scrapbook, which for this photo enthusiast, is a good thing. While the standard 12×12 styles are great, there are two lesser-known styles that I’ve come to love over the past few months just as much!

Scrapbooking and card-making magazines are great for inspiration, but did you know that other magazines have fun ideas for scrapbooking, too? I find lots of ideas within the pages and ads of my favorite magazines, whether it’s a cool color combination, an interesting page layout, or neat typography and title ideas.

This page from a recent issue of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine caught my eye. I loved the cluster of small photos and the clean, simple design. I thought it would be perfect for the first page of my Chicago album!

If you attended our National Scrapbook Day event last weekend, you got to make the 6″ x 8″ portion of this pocket page.  If you didn’t get to make it to the event, you can still see instructions on how to make this page, plus see LOTS of other page ideas for the pocket page system!

If you’re anything like me, it’s really hard to find time to organize, print, get creative with, preserve, and show off your photos.  Not only is it hard to find time, but it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer amount of photos and memories to preserve.  My kids are always doing and saying cute things I want to remember, participating in sports and other activities I want to record, and just being their adorable selves – the memories are happening faster than I can preserve and enjoy them!
