Mulitple Trips?

[tynkrB]

Hello-
I am new here, but not new to scrapping. I have a question for those of you that go to WDW often. Do you scrap each trip individually? Do you combine trips? How do you organize it all?

I had intended to do an album for each trip...once upon a time. I currently have 3 trip albums completed (1 is digital), but I have 5 or 6 trips worth of pictures that I have yet to scrap and with the rate I scrap I will probably have some more trips in there before I come close to scrapping them all.

So anyway, just looking for advice and input and wondering what others do.

Thanks a bunch!

I do each trip individually for WDW, since we go there about every 3 years.......now my DLR stuff I do each trip, but usually have a year's worth of trips in each album, we have AP's and live about 5 1/2 hours away so we go for the weekend 3-4 times a year and usually for 4 days during spring break for my DD b-day.
Welcome to our group, we have a terrific bunch here and everyone is always happy to help out.

We don't have kids, so we don't feel the need for yearly albums even though we've gone at least once a year since May 2004. I have a separate 12x12 album for each park at WDW, plus an 8x8 album of places we've stayed and restaurants where we've eaten, and a 6x12 "character greetings" album for autographs and photos with characters. Each book is a "work in progress," with at least a two-page spread for each show or attraction . . . as attractions are added, I add more layouts, which is why I like using a post-bound album instead of strap-hinge.

I am working on a separate book for our DCL trip on the Magic last year, and will do a separate book for a trip to Disneyland next spring, since those are likely to be one-time events.

This is what works for me -- everyone is different, though, so listen to everyone's ideas and decide which sounds most like "you" -- no matter what, have fun scrapping!

For my earlier trips, I have one album per trip. However, my parents live in Orlando now, so the frequency of our trips has increased, and going forward I plan to make park albums instead of trip albums. I might make a mini book of highlights for some trips, but not a full fledged album.

That is the nice thing about scrapping, you can do it in whatever order you want. Do with what works or appeals to you most.

I always do things chronologically but that is just me.

We have APs and go at least once a month, sometimes only for a day. I have an album for each park, an album for specail events (pirate &princess, food&wine, ect), an album for characters, an albums for restraunts, and an album for hotels. NOne of them are complete as we are still going, in fact sometimes I need to take the perfect picture for a layout and it may be on our list of things to do that trip.

I do have a special album just for my birthday trip last year but most of the time everything goes into the larger albums.

DH & I don't have kids yet. We go to WDW 2-3 times per year. I always take TONS of pictures, and I make an album from each trip (12 x 12). Each trip, I say, "This album will be smaller", but it never is! There are usually 50-60 page protectors (2 single layouts in each one) per album. . .I think I'm a Disney scrappin' freak! I'm a chronological scrapper, too.

Like NEDisneyFans said, this just happens to be what works for me. It's a great stress reliever, and I love doing it. Find the way that works for you! Your enjoyment of it will show in your books!!

Thanks for all the great responses!

I honestly had never thought about an album for each park...that is an interesting idea.

I have SO many pictures just getting started seems overwhelming and I am a chronological gal at heart, but I may have to let that go. We shall see.

Thanks again!

you can always do an ABC book too. I take the random, left over pics from each trip and add to my ABC book.

I do each trip in it's own album. DH grandma is starting my boys (6 and 4) with their own scrapbooks, so I give them all of the leftover pictures. I'm not sure how those will turn out, but they'll have fun putting stickers on the pages.

I do year books. Each year of everything gets its own book. Each book starts with "winter" usually Jan 15 or so then "spring", "summer", "fall" and "holidays" (aka thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years). The books are HUGE and perhaps soon I will have to divide the five categories into more than one book a year, but for now it is fun to look back on say 2005 and see all the family parties, vacations and just random everyday pages that happened that year. I start each section with a wrap up of that season which I craft into a layout. For fall 2006, I cut out huge leaves and had them falling down the page and on each leaf I had a paragraph. Then I organize the scrap pages in each section by theme, (vacation pics, then parties, then whatever else happened that season, sort of thing).
I plan on getting Christmas 2006 done very soon so I can start on 2007. I am a little behind!

I scrap each trip seperately (and by park, resort, etc) I tend to overscrap disney (if that's possible) sometimes. I also add some pages of each trip in our year in review album.

 

[pixiescraper]

What I normally do is a album for each trip...but we all know we have "extra" photos so I will use many years of photos on a same layout kind of like a "flashback" page.

I am currently working on a spring & summer 2007 Disney scrapbook. It'll be thick, but I don't have enough pictures from the second trip to fill up a whole album. When we go again in November, that will be a whole new album because we've never been when the Christmas decorations have been up, plus we're going to our first ever MVMCP. So, I'm sure I'll fill up both memory cards and I'll probably have to buy an new one and I'll have a ton of pictures to scrap. I can't wait!
