Hi girls! I was under the weather this wekeend and so I just lay on the couch listening to your show, totally made me feel better! I wanted to mention something about scrapping more during different times of the year. I too used to have a scrapbooking drought over summer, we travel a lot and even when we are home we're always busy doing things outside. We live in Canada so we savour our summer months! Sitting down at the computer is not on the priority list. The problem is that summer is when I take the majority of my pictures, I take more photos in July and August than I do the entire rest of the year, (the Canada thing, again!). So by September I feel like I am swamped with things I need to scrapbook. Anyways, I came up with a solution. I decided to do Project Summer. I don't do Project Life but I thought it would be cool to do it just for the summer months. I downloaded the digi version and added Valerie Wibbens digital page protectors, they are the coolest, you add them on top of your page and it totally looks like your pages are inside of protectors with all the little pockets. Then as we went about our holidays I would take a rainy day or a quiet afternoon out on the deck and drag and drop all my photos in, write about what we were doing and move on. It didn't take a lot of time, everything is already coordinated, and my journaling was fresh in my mind. I didn't do it week by week, I just did it somewhat chronologically and the amazing thing is that I kept up with it, I just had the pages printed, 34 in total! And it turned out great, my family loves flipping through it and I'm all caught up, well at least with those two months anyways!
