Daily scrapbooking is such a fun concept, but sometimes really tricky to pull
off. Each layout takes a lot of time and planning. That's why I LOVE the
Echo Park Photo Freedom collections! Everything is ready for you. You
just need to add your photos and journaling. This "Happy Go Lucky"
collection is full of bright cheerful colors, and I love all the fun
sayings on the cards. I added in some vellum to do some of my journaling
on. I like how it adds a touch of softness as well to the layout. I like
my pages to be somewhat flat, not a lot of 3D elements; but don't forget
to layer (stickers on stickers, gems, vellum, staples, tabs, stamping,
etc.).
Tips and Tricks:
* I have a notebook that I have
sketched out each week's spread. When I'm done with the week, I go
through my photos, pick out the ones that best represent the week and I
get them printed. I have it written on the sketch where each photo goes,
but that's about it.
* Remember: there are days where you might not
get a photo, or you don't have much to say about what happened that day.
I like to print the weather forecast from my iphone or add in a saying
card. There are some easy things to do even when you forget.
* Try to
write down some things that happened that week. I don't get to some of
my spreads until weeks afterwards and then I have to struggle to
remember what happened.
* Have fun! This is the coolest way I've done
journaling so far, and I've done a lot of journaling. I try to keep
in mind how cool this album will be at the end of the year and how much
my family will appreciate it.
