Need suggestions..2 Disney trips and scrapbook

[teddygurlkeekee]

Hey yall

I am new to scrapbooking and about to start my very first one! I have been planning to make one for my husband and my week long trip this past April. I have printed the pictures and bought supplies and planned in my head.

THEN, we decided to take a last minute-one day trip this past weekend. This time we brought my stepson and my mother for my birthday.

I am wondering what you all think as professional scrapbookers Should I combine the two and make one scrapbook? If so, how should I do that? Should I put all the Mickey pictures together, or still go in order?

OR, should I make two seperate scrapbooks? Suprisingly enough, we did get a good amount of pics on our one day trip, so it could probably make it's own book...

Any suggestions would be helpful and appriciated! Thanks a bunch!

I think I would make a separate book, but probably just an 8 x 8 or 6 x 6, since it was only one day. I know it is possible to take zillions of pics in one day...lol.
And for me personally, every trip has to have its own book(s). I can't get enough of it, so any excuse to scrap Disney works for me!

Basically you have to find what you like best and do that! So asking what other people do is a good start!

When I started I included several vacations in one trip. I didn't scrap everything and it was back in the film camera days and we had a LOT less pics.

Now we easily come back with hundreds of photos each trip and I now do digital scrapping, so my books are quite big! Each trip has its own book. Even if I have similar pics, I try to find ways to scrap them differently, like putting thoughts down of comparison or something fun or funny that happened during those pics being taken, etc. As many times that I have scrapped my son with Mickey, I can still find a ton more ways to do it!!

when we went 3 times in 2007, I ended up making one ridiculously big scrapbook, doing it all in chronological order. each trip had it's own title page to 'separate it' from the rest of the book, but i put them all in the same scrapbook just because i liked that album (i got it at disneyland) and it seemed a waste to scrap just 2 days' worth of pictures and put only those in that album (we were only at disneyland 2 days!). So do whatever works for you....it's YOUR album after all, right?

you've got a couple ways you can go - make the choice on the way YOU think.

Some people scrap in chronological order. But then, if you wind up in the magic kingdom on more than one day of your trip, you could wind up with mk, epcot, ak, mk etc. And what if the second set of MK photos fits better with the first, then your choronological order has gone to heck.

Some people scrap by 'themes' or events. Character meals are a theme. OR a single character meal is a theme. Or Rides, or transportation, or each section of the park, like Toontown, or adventureland. I find it much easier to group my Disney trips in this manner, since it's a much more free flowing place Than say a visit to Washington DC where on Monday we went to Arlington and Tuesday we did the smilthsonian and Wednesday the monuments etc and didn't repeat.

If you chose to do a separate book for your birthday, your Birthday celebration can be the theme.

I just did a whole album on the Kilimanjaro Safari, with photos from trips spanning the last 9 years.
