I pulled out the scrapbook last night - so I won't be making a ton of cards like I've been doing lately!!
I scrapbook in spurts - when I do it I go all out and make a HUGE mess and have a ton of fun! I don't get a lot of pages done b/c I take my time w/ it - sometimes spending a whole day on a 2 page layout.
I *savor* every minute of my scrap booking and yes I am like 2 years behind on Veronica's pages (she's 3 1/2) and I haven't even started on Josie's (she's almost 9 months now). In fact I haven't done *any* scrap booking since Josie was a couple months old.
When I scrapbook I don't do many cards - my desk is of a decent size but when I'm doing my 12x12 pages I have NO room for anything else - plus I really do make an awful mess and my "OCD" kicks in and I *can't* work on anything else until it's all cleaned up! I bought 2 clear plastic 12x12 containers at Michael's (for 50% off of course *big grin*) so hopefully that will help me w/ the mess as I can put the page(s) I'm working on in there if I need to do something else.
I *will* be posting pics of my pages - including the old ones. I've done about 40 pages so far and it's come a long way since I first started.
I'm actually pulling apart some of my older pages *shock* *gasp* and re-doing them. I'll take pics before and after tho. I'm not doing it to ALL my old pages - just the few that really look wrong to me. When I first started SBing layout meant nothing to me - I totally didn't get it. I just slapped on the pics and journaling wherever and didn't give it a second thought. *Some* of the pages still work like that but some really are a mess and need to be put in a proper layout to look how *I* really wanted them to. (I know some ppl think it's a crime to re-do old pages but I *have* to do this - there are a few pages that just bug me and since it's my book I'm gonna make them look right! lol).
So that's what I'll be doing for the next little while - this SBing spurt prolly will have some cards here and there as the instant gratification feels so good after laboring over pages for hours at a time!! :o)
