It can be really frustrating when you have so many great pictures and you can’t decide which ones are “scrapworthy”. I take far too many pictures so relatively few photos make the cut into the scrapbook. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not deleting them completely! I still have CDs of all of my pictures in a CD album, I just had to start being more selective on the scrapworthy pics or I’d go crazy trying to keep up!
Once I have the best pictures selected, I usually still have too many. I’m here to tell you, size doesn’t matter. Shrink your prints! I love the collage feature on the Sony Print Station, I can get 2, 3 or 4 pictures on one 4×6. You can do this same technique with 5×7 or 8×10 and get even more photos on one print. Check out this layout…I fit 8 photos on one page and still had room for the title.
I also use the pocket page system in combination with scrapbook pages. This lets me scrapbook some pics that I really like and still include the other photos that captured the event by sliding them into the pockets. HUGE time saver for me! Here’s a layout I did of my Christmas card photo shoot I did with my girlfriends. I scrapbooked my first page with the photo I used on my card and then used a pocket page on the next layout to save time.
Scrap a lot. Scrap a little. Just scrap.
