Do you scrapbook ahead of time?

[jenr812]

I guess I'm posting a reply to my own original thread. LOL Anyhow, I got to thinking about doing the pages ahead of time and I'm not sure if I could do it. I was looking on ebay and there were so many premade Disney scrapbook layouts. I liked quite a few of them. But then I got to thinking.....if I did this layout now, I would HAVE to take 3 vertical snapshots and 2 horizontal snapshots (or whatever that specific layout had already laid out). I mean, if I "premade" my whole album, I would have to write down which pics I would have to take and which direction they would have to be so they would fit into each mat. Too confusing for me. So I guess I'll just sit back *patiently* and wait until after my trip.

Good point! But depending on how many megapixels your camera has and what setting you take the pics on (best), you could easily manipulate your pics to fit what you need.


I am envious of the poster whose LSS has those amazing Disney classes! We need to see pics!!!!

I'm working on the pics of the layouts, I have never posted any pics. I just took pictures of them, now I have to figure what to do next.

I can't believe it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you click on the photo, it makes it larger. (I'm sure you guys already know that, I didn't, but I am so clueless on the computer.)

I don't necessarily scrapbook ahead of time, but before we left my SIL loaned me her Sizzix so I cut out probably over 75 phrases for my pages mostly the names of the rides, restaurants, etc. I looked at pictures online at the colors of the ride signs, etc to figure out what colors to use. Now that I have my Cricut I don't have to do that, but it has been nice having all the words already cut out. I just recut any I don't work with the pictures I took with the Cricut. I didn't do any character names before we went since I had no idea of which characters we were going to see.

No problem, they were the designs for the class I went to, the girl who teaches the class was so creative!!!!! She had us doing some things I had never done before in scrapbooking (stitching, mitering?, i had never used chipboard letters either) So not only have we learned some new techniques, but got great pages out of it. Another LSS has a 5 week class where we will make 2 2page spreads (Disney of course), so I also signed up for that for the next 5 Sundays. . My husband thinks I'm crazy- maybe I am. Anyway, I will post the other pics after the classes.

Can I come stay at your house every weekend? Those classes sound so fun!
