How It Works
Every day for fourteen days you will get an email from me. Every other day the email will direct you to an article on holiday-related photography.

Scrapbooking with Scraps – Paperclipping 158

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

How often do you use your leftover scraps of patterned paper? I use them just about every single time that I scrapbook. I love working with my scraps. They’re the first place I go for patterned paper choices and only check my full-sized sheets if I need one for my full-sized backgrounds, or if I just can’t find the colors I need from my scraps.

Would you like to get more out of your patterned papers and their scraps? In today’s episode for the Paperclipping Members, I share design tips and principles that work great with scraps! I also share some scrap maintenance tips that make scrapbooking with them (and scrapbooking in general) much easier!

You need the free Flash Player to view this video.

You can also right-click to save the video.

If you’re not a member, please click on the player above to see the trailer. You can get this entire episode, plus almost 160 scrapbook topics just like this and more to come every month, if you join Paperclipping! Click here to see how.

If you are a Member, you can find this video in the Member’s Area or in your premium feed.

Below are the layouts that made use of all the design and maintenance tips I shared in the episode . . .

You: Up Close

12×12 layout
you_up_close
Journaling reads:

  • The way your eyes turn to upside down moons when you smile.
  • Your long curling eye lashes.
  • The sprinkling of light summer freckles across the tops of your pink cheeks.
  • The eye brows you inherited from Grandma Nancy.
  • The dimple in your lower cheek.
  • Your perfect, perfect skin.

It’s always nice when a person’s outward beauty reflects their inner beauty the way your does. <3

Supplies: The orange paper on this layout is on clearance with only 8 left! Other supplies: Pink and green velvet pleated flowers & my favorite white letters: Foam Rockabye Thickers

Edison Music Box

12×12 layout
edison_music_box
Journaling reads: Grandma Holt (Irene Nielsen Holt) gave us her Edison phonograph not long before she died. We call it the “music box” because that’s what she called it. It originally belonged to her grandparents. Since Grandma was born just after the turn of the century, that gives us an idea of how old the box it. It still works.

We have an old suitcase and a box full of was cylinders that play old turn of the century pieces, like, “Cute Little Wigglin Dance,” and “Hitchy-Koo.”

We love playing thee old songs, even the kids. It’s amazing to us that those folksy styles were the popular music of the time. It’s such a very different sound and personality from anything we’re used to.

Supplies: This beautiful stitched Anna Griffin paper is on clearance! I gave it a vignette effect by inking it with Old Paper and Walnut Stain Distress Ink, and an Ink Blending Tool. I used the same inks for the journaling block on off-white cardstock, but also added Vintage Photo. Other supplies: Vintage Metal Corners and Metal Philosophy Tags.

(Note: All product links lead to my affiliate store. I get a commission if you purchase through my links. Thank you!)

Sisters & Daughters

12×12 layouts
sisters_and_daughters
Journaing reads: I left my kids and husband at home this year to spend Thanksgiving with my parents and my sisters and their families. I loved getting to focus my attention on watching my sisters mother their children. Erin and Lindsay are great moms.

How to Be Organized When You Have 29 Unfinished Projects

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Nov2010 1529
Do you have unfinished scrapbook projects? Does it cause you stress? Recently I decided to embrace the fact that I always have a lot of unfinished projects.

Instead of making it a goal to get my projects finished, I decided to reorganize my space to accommodate my madness — or at least what some might consider to be madness. As a result I found that . . .

  • There is a way to feel calm and happy, even with lots of unfinished projects
  • Having a number of unfinished projects has huge benefits!

Since I decided to start projects when I think of them, I learned that the prolific 39-time Best-Selling author, James Patterson, has been known to work on more than five novels at one time! You may love Patterson’s books — you may not love them. I don’t particularly like his style of writing, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is evidence that you can be successful and accomplished with lots of projects bubbling at one time.

So how does he do it? How can you do it? Organization!

But wait! Doesn’t multiple unfinished projects equate to DISORGANIZATION?

No. You still need an organization structure to filter your idea bursts and your project streams. Patterson does it. Having been a corporate CEO, he is known for his exceptional organization skills. When I decided I was going to act on my ideas immediately, rather than add them to a to-do list, I knew I also needed to restructure my scrap space to meet my project needs.

Three Types Of Unfinished Projects

There is an important difference between various unfinished projects . . .

  • Projects you’ve lost interest in
  • Projects on hold – you need to work on something else because of a deadline, or you need a specific item to complete it
  • Intentionally on-going projects

Lost Interest

Nov2010 1534
How Many - 7
Organization -
If I really feel a project is not all that worthwhile, if I have negative feelings about it along with my lack of interest, or if I feel sure I won’t be finishing it, I salvage any pieces I can use on something else and then throw the rest away. Otherwise, if I think there is some potential in the future but have no interest in touching it any time soon, I put it in the drawer at the bottom of this plastic rolling drawer set, or in the plastic bin on top.

I also have one item here that I haven’t really lost interest in. It’s just not a priority. I had an idea and wanted to start it before I’d forget. If I ever feel like finishing it, it’s in the drawer. If not, no big deal. My idea is an experiment and I’ve already gained one thing by starting, even though it’s unfinished: I learned that the technique I was testing will work!

If I need to add a project here and the drawer is full, I pitch my least interesting project to make room for the new one.

On Hold

Nov2010 1529
How Many - 14
Organization -
If I am very much interested in finishing a project but need to move it off my work table, and if it doesn’t have a lot of pieces, I set it in a stack on this top shelf. Projects that are only waiting on one quick item, like a photo, are in the front. Projects that will require an hour or more of work are in the back. This front and back system is surprisingly helpful!

  • It keeps stuff off my current workspace.
  • The projects that I can finish with just a couple steps are prioritized in a visible place. This helps me realize how close I am to finishing them. We procrastinate things that seem hard or take multiple steps. Knowing that these items in the front are just a couple steps away from being done is motivating!

Projects that have a lot of parts and pieces, embellishments, papers, etc, go in the white boxes on the two lower shelves. I purchased large 12×15 inch boxes at Ikea. I like that I can have 12×12 papers or pages at one end of the box and scraps and embellishments on the other end. I name the project on the front label of the box in pencil because eventually I’ll rotate a different project into it.

The projects in these boxes are much more involved, so I love that I can have the chaos of all their supplies in nice clean containers. They’re in my sight as a visual reminder, but don’t add clutter to my mind.

Intentionally On-Going

Nov2010 1537
How Many - 5 active, 1 still in prep, and 2 I haven’t fully committed to yet.
Organization -
On the red shelf above my worktable is an art journal, a writing and ephemera journal, and an altered book about myself. On the same shelf, but farther from my reach are two altered books I’m still contemplating. They will be on-going once they actually get going.

Because I decorate my altered Book About Me with lots of scrapbooking items, I keep the supplies in one of those white boxes on that shelf of on-hold projects.

One of my other on-going projects is a New Year’s book that gets a two-page spread of silly family predictions each year. I keep that in my drawer of completed seasonal mini-books, even though it isn’t really completed. This makes sense for me because I don’t need to reserve specific scrapbook supplies for it, and because I only sit down to work on it two days out of the year.

TOTAL UNFINISHED PROJECTS RIGHT NOW: 29
Projects that I’m very close to finishing: 6

Nov2010 1535

The Huge & Awesome Benefits

There are times when the ideal thing to work on is a project you’ve already started but never completed!

I often grab an unfinished project when I . . .

  • Have short bursts of time
  • Am attending crops, scrapping while traveling, or working at a coffee shop
  • Want to scrapbook without thinking much

Unfinished projects are ideal in these situations because . . .

  1. The supplies are already all together, or the project is close to being finished and doesn’t need a lot of supplies.
  2. Since you’ve already thought the project out (you know the story, you’ve picked the colors and papers, etc), you’ve already made the hard choices that require more introspection. Now it’s just play time.

Other benefits for having lots of unfinished projects . . .

Do you need to clear some space for unfinished projects? I recommend you first identify clutter and excess you can get rid of — stuff you don’t love and never use. Next, identify the vertical spaces around your home or scrap area where you can add shelves, containers, or drawers. Almost all of us have vertical space we aren’t maximizing. Almost all of us have excessive clutter that isn’t really benefiting us. Free yourself! Free your ideas and turn them into something, even if they’re just the start of something.

How to Inspire Thanks Through Your Photos

Friday, November 12th, 2010

April 4553

Family Time: 2010 Photo Review

Last night I gathered my kids around me to look through our 2010 photos. We laughed. We remembered things we’d forgotten. We had a good relationship-building time. You can remind yourself and your family of all that you’ve had to be grateful for this past year by reviewing 2010 through your photos.

Benefits:

  • You’ll find out what your family’s favorite memories are, along with your own. You can prioritize the favorite memories as your upcoming scrapbooking projects.
  • It’s a great way to collect information and details that you yourself forgot or didn’t know. Your family members will naturally offer many of the details without you even having to ask!
  • You, yourself, will remember details that you can add into the metadata of the photos.
  • You might realize a different perspective on events by listening to their observations, reactions, and stories.
  • It’s fun! And it’s a great reminder of all the good in your life.

Set Yourself Up for a Great Viewing Experience

We do this activity right from my laptop. I LOVE viewing photos from my computer, and so do my kids. I usually hear people talk about viewing photos on computers as a negative experience — quite the opposite of my own. Maybe it has to do with the way you manage your photos?

To make your computer-viewing experience pleasurable, make your favorite photos viewable in a spot that is separate from your less-than-favorite photos. Here’s how . . .

Create Quarterly Digital Files or Albums for Fave’d Photos

Every photo manager is different. I’ll explain how mine works and you can look at your photo manager to see how to do the same thing. I’ll share two other options, as well. Hopefully your computer or your manager will have at least one of the three options.

Option 1: Photo Manager with Sub-folders
Here’s how I do it . . .

  1. Yearly Projects or Folders – Within my library of photos, I create Projects for each year of family photos. I keep all of my family photos for the year — the great as well as the not-so-great — within that one project.
  2. Albums or Sub-folders -I then create albums within my yearly projects. I make four quarterly albums, plus an additional December album, since there are so many photos from December. I want to be able to easily see December photos on their own.

    My photo manager allows me to place pictures from my yearly projects (or folders) into my albums (or sub-folders) without actually moving them. This means I can see my favorite photos in both places, whether I’m looking in the first quarter album for 2010 or the Project for all of 2010.

    This way, you can enjoy all of the best photos without having to weed through the clutter of all the bad ones. It’s an entirely different experience to view photos on your computer when you only see your favorite photos. These are also the photos I choose from when I am scrapbooking.

Option 2: Smart Albums or Smart Folders
Another option for placing favorite photos in their own sub-folders while still keeping them in their main fodlers: Smart Albums. If your computer has the ability to create smart albums, you can give your favorite photos a specific rating of your choice. Then you create a smart album with the following criteria:

  • the date (ie. 2010; or January February March 2010)
  • the ratings you assign your favorite photos.

Option 3: Completely Separate Favorite Photos from the Rest
I don’t like this option as well. I only recommend doing this if there is no way to view a photo file in two different place like I explained in the two options above. But if your computer or software does not offer those functions, it’s still worth it to do option 3 and be able to view your favorite photos on their own.

Just make a folder for the year (or the quarter/year) with your favorite photos, plus a separate folder for the year and call it, “Non-Favorite Photos 2010.”

Hyman Family Favorite Memories from 2010

I was surprised to find out what my kids’ favorite memories were so far. Most were not the ones I would have expected. Now that I know what made them most happy, I want to make sure I scrapbook them over the coming year . . .

How to Use Up Unloved Patterned Paper – Paperclipping 157

Monday, November 8th, 2010

This week’s episode is part of an on-going series on how to use up old products in general. I’ve heard from you that patterned paper is a particular difficulty, so today I’ll share with you some of the ways I’ve been successful at making scrapbook pages I love with patterned paper I did not. Please click on the player to watch the trailer.

You need the free Flash Player to view this video.

You can also right-click to save the video.

I happen to be a scrapbooker who works from my stash of scraps more than from new papers. Coming soon will be an episode where I share some of my strategies for making pages with scraps of patterned paper. You’ll get to see layouts come together from start to finish, and you’ll come away with a few different strategies so you can do yourself.

This is for the Paperclipping Members. Members can also watch the other tutorials from the “Old Products” series. There will be more to come in the future. Here are the descriptions and layouts for those episodes. Members can find them in the archives in the Members Area or in their iTunes premium feed subscriptions…

Below are the layouts I featured in today’s episode . . .

Sisters & Daughters

12×12 layout
sisters_and_daughters
Journaling reads: I left my kids and husband at home this year to spend Thanksgiving with my parents and my sisters and their families. I loved getting to focus my attention on watching my sisters mother their children. Erin and Lindsay are great moms.

A Minute Before

12×12 layout
A-Minute-Before
Journaing reads: I snapped this shot with my phone just before you had a seizure. I missed the warning signs: You weren’t skipping rocks with the boys. You complained of feeling hot and said you wanted to go home. I said that was fine, looked down to grab my stuff, and when I looked up again, you were on the ground in a bizarre position. You had fallen down and scraped the shoulder on which you landed. You also scraped your elbow and your knee, but your shoulder? That’s not a normal way to fall.

I still didn’t get that you had had an aura and were now in the middle of a seizure. I asked why you fell. You said you weren’t able to control your body. I thought you were reacting to the anesthesia. I helped you up, we went back into the dental office where you’d just gotten cavities filled.

That’s when you fell again. You were standing right next to me, my arm around you, and you just dropped straight down. I grabbed you, saw your eyes — those glazed over hollow eyes — and knew you weren’t totally with me now. That’s when I recognized it for what it was. You still have Epilepsy.

We thought you had grown out of it. One and a half years seizure-free is a good amount of time and we were looking forward to taking you off of your medicine in October. I guess that won’t be happening now. Not this year, anyway.

{since some of you expressed concern in the past, and some of you have epilepsy in your family, I thought I would reassure you — Trinity’s doctor took her off her med’s the January after this event and she has been seizure-free all this time! She seems to have outgrown it and we are hoping it stays that way for the rest of her life.}

Tami-lamb

12×12 layout
Nov2010-1527
Journaling reads: I love these pictures of you laughing and making other people laugh. I see you and Israel as the anchor personalities of our group. You’re stable and rational, but still sensitive and caring.

You are–

* a good listener.
* a really great friend.
* a friend of 13 years as of June 2010.

We’ve been through so many different things together. I love having a friend like you, Tami.

Not Shy

8×8 layout
Not-Shy
Journaling reads: You were doing your hair in my bathroom. You put a headband on and suddenly squealed, “I”m so cute!” (oh my gosh, you really were!). Then you did a cute pose for the mirror enjoying your cuteness.

{this page is an example of having to find a photo to demonstrate my story, since I didn’t have one of her posing for the mirror! }

Seven Why’s & How’s to Keep Memories via Scrap-Journaling

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

Oct2010 1518

From age eight to college I was an avid journaler. For most of that time I journaled daily. I could spend an hour or more pouring my life and views into my journal, and I think it may be one of the reasons I remember so much of my childhood.

As an adult, four activities replaced my old method of journaling in big blank lined pages:

  1. scrapbooking
  2. blogging
  3. journaling into the metadata of my photos
  4. art journaling

But all of these journaling methods are lacking one thing, and recently they haven’t been enough for me. What could possibly be missing from traditional scrapbooking and my other three journaling forms?

IMMEDIACY.

I wanted to be able to write just a sentence or two about my day — every day — and include some little bit of ephemera, like a receipt or some scrap paper I took notes on. I wanted to document the kind of stuff that is just way too mundane for even the scrapbooks of the most everyday kind of scrapbooker. I wanted the ability to record something on the spot without having to wait for a photo, without having to pull out my art supplies, or be tied to my computer.

A few weeks ago I added a fifth way to share my story, and I now feel totally and completely fulfilled in my ability to express myself and share my thoughts, whether it’s through my photos, through writing I develop on my blog, through some uninhibited art activity, or through a few words and bits from my day.

Scrap-journaling

Oct2010 1511
This is my scrap-journal. In it you will find my words, my doodling, my brainstorming, my extra-mundane bits of ephemera, and an idea of who I am right now. It’s currently one of my favorite things. You could use a “normal” blank lined book intended for journaling. Or you could make a scrap-journal out of cute scrapbook or found papers.

I keep a stack of unloved hardback books that sit and wait for me to alter them, and I decided to use one of them as my scrap-journal (you can see its spine in the top photo. It’s a hard-cover book of short stories). Why would I use a book that is already full of somebody else’s words? And how do you do it without turning it into a project instead of a quick spontaneous three-minute activity?

Here is the why and the how . . .

  1. It’s green. I am trying to decrease the amount of manufacturing I cause by buying something new. I figure, every time I buy something, they’ll make another one. I know that’s a simplified summary of how the system of stuff works, but it keeps me on the green path.
  2. There are some blank areas at the front and back of the book, and at the beginnings and ends of chapters.

    3. Oct2010 1507

  3. I like to play with the words already on the book — circle some, cross out others, or even respond. The words also inspire little humorous (to me) thoughts, and that encourages a light-heartedness that I enjoy with my scrap-journal.

    4. Oct2010 1509

  4. I add journaling to my own scraps of ephemera when the typed words of the book don’t give me enough writing space of my own.

    5. Oct2010 1514
    Above: a summary from my dentist.
    Below: a scrap of paper I used to test paint colors I had mixed that day.
    Oct2010 1517

  5. The book’s text encourages me to doodle. I don’t want to have pages and pages of the original text, so I doodle on top of it. The doodling makes it feel more mine — more like me. And doodling is always good creative brain food.

    6. Oct2010 1513

  6. It’s not intimidating. I don’t have to fill a blank page. Because I do so much journaling in the other ways I listed above, my goal with my scrap-journal is not to get deep or to say a lot. I just want to share a little bit of myself every single day without the task of making it “pretty,” or making it into a project that takes time.

    7. Oct2010 1515

  7. The text causes the writing “canvas” to be non-linear. I get to write in different spaces around the book, and this is much more similar to the way we think. Our brains bounce around from thought to thought and it’s good for the brain to develop thoughts the way it is naturally inclined, instead of in the linear fashion of typical writing.

    8. Oct2010 1512

Since this added form of memory-keeping has been so fulfilling for me, I decided to share it with you. It’s not typical scrapbooking as we know it today. But it’s easy and spontaneous. It’s fun. It’s real. It’s definitely scrappy. And you don’t have to wait for a photo, or a time slot, to sit down and do it.
