I have been working for three hours tonight and an hour or so last night and I have a whopping 2 pages to show for it
I did fill in a ton of information that was missing in my DS baby album (first haircut, favorite book, etc.) so that was important. I just hoped to get more done. I have several pages that just need journaling.
Updated to here - hopefully we can get productive in the last third of the month (myself included, right after I get my Halloween costume fixed and...)
These are pages for a book for my nephew- so I get everything cut out and ready to glue on and then sit down and assemble- everything has been cut, typed, run through the xyron, ect before I ever sit down.
The main way I get so many pages done is 2 fold- I scrap between 1-2 hours a day (and that doesn't count cutting time- I have my 2 cutting machines going quite a bit while I am doing other things and then just go in and pull off things as i get a chance and start cutting the next color. The 2nd thing is that I keep my pages kitted and ready to go - so when I have 5 minutes I can out together a page because I am just cutting down a mat and glueing things on by the time I get to actually scrapping the page- I already have my title ready, my journalling typed and printed, my embellishments choosen- I also do a lot of swaps so I have many ready made elements available all the time.
There is a tutorial listed in the sticky about techniques showing how I kit up pages.
Also I am not a perfectionist about my pages- I am more about the work of making the special embellishments and such and then once I get to the page I just glue everything down however it fits. I rarely follow a page map- generally I just stick it all down.
I've completed 10 pages this month. I surprised I got even that many done with as crazy as this month has been. I doubt I'll do more as we leave for WDW tomorrow, but I may try to do a little scrapping while there if we have any down time.
