    I had a 10 yr hiatus from scrapbooking during that time I had my 3 boys and took in my 3 nieces as well, the girls grew up & moved out so then I was left with a butt ton of pics, no idea how to arrange albums, and entirely different scrappy world. My mojo had been buried in a deep dark hole. My boys were always watching someone play a video game on RUclips, so I thought gotta b somebody on there doing scrapbooking. I came across this Australian gal that fun, hilarious, and a great teacher who kept talking about project life and layouts. It seemed she had as many pics as I did however mine weren't taken in a way I could do weekly project life. So I took her stick and plonk attitude, her love for project life and decided I was going to group pics by month and events. I also decided that if I was keeping it was going in the scrapbook. No more sticking the art projects in a "safe" place. Somehow scan it, put it in a page protecter, hole punch it...whatever but put it in the album. So I completed the baby albums and the wedding album that had been in progress and have been moving forward with family albums. I do have a school album but its full, so I started putting school pics in the family albums. I also have a memorial album started for my hubby's parents.

      Awww this comment has me smiling like crazy!!! So glad you stumbled upon this little Inkie corner of RUclips!! It would definitely have been tricky to come back to scrapbooking after such a large break with some many major life events during that time too. I’m so glad you have fun sticking and plonking alllll the things!! Thanks so much for watching lovely 💗

    We’re an Aussie family living in India......I’m collecting all of our newspaper articles every day and will dedicate an album to it. It’s been an event I thought one day would eventuate (I’m was registered nurse in Aus), but NEVER did I think of it on this scale. It’s just crazy. Gorgeous spread! My boys are aged 16-14-13 I’ve got albums for each and I’ve incorporated all of their schoolwork into them. They will have 6 12x12 albums each. They homeschool now but all of their handwriting samples and “doodles” gets incorporated too.

    • @Inkiequill
      @Inkiequill  4 года назад +1

      Oh I’m glad I can help!! My one tip is to try and minimise your supplies for a page to a little basket of your fav things. Grab 5 is really handy to focus on only a few supplies (and adding anything else you want too of course) so then the page doesn’t feel as overwhelming as you have a focus and direction to take. Good luck and have fun!! (Remember you can always cover up anything you don’t like!)

    I am way far behind. Still scrapping end of 2017. I do 3...one family and then one for each of our boys. They are all basically the same pictures in each, and I mix family stuff and school pictures / school work chronologically. Loving the BUY IT + TRY IT videos!!! Happy to hear that more are coming. I'm one of your fans of hauls too :) Bring 'em on!!

    I have four boys. I make a yearly album for each of them, birth through 18. And I make yearly family albums for me to keep. I intend to give the boys their albums to them once they are grown and in their own home. I do traditional 12 x 12 scrapbooks. Mostly double page layouts with lots of pictures on them. I rarely do a one picture page. If I do the picture is usually at least a 5 x 7. I am way behind, but that's ok with me. I just keep plugging away. Oh, and I am going to document the pandemic with pictures of empty grocery store shelves and lines to get in, and funny memes about homeschooling, and pictures from our family games. I will also incluse letters from school and newspaper articles.

    I am documenting recent events on 12x12 calendar pages, one for March and one for April so far. I have four children, each one has a baby album up to one year of age. Then albums on and on after that. I just recently did my two sons school albums ages 33 and 23 preschool to college graduation. About to start my daughters ages 20 and 10 school albums. Old projects finally getting done, because of all the time we have now. It keeps my mind off of things a little bit. A good way to escape.

    I’ve been working on a weekly album for my daughter since she was born. I take her picture every Thursday and do the layout with in the week so it’s always up to date. I plan on doing this until she’s 1 and then maybe doing every month after that in the family albums. So yeah the weekly album is the only one that is specifically just hers and anything else will go into the family album (first bath, first crawl, etc.) but I haven’t started working on that yet. I also want to do a first Christmas album. We did the 12 days of pjs and took her to go see Santa so I have a lot of holiday pictures.

    I have chronological albums for both my kids. I’m about 3 years behind though 😬. I don’t really have “family” albums. My two kids are 6 years apart in age (14 & 20 years old currently) so activities have always been kind of separate. On the occasions that we all are together (like holidays, etc), I do double scrap in each kids’ book -but keep it in their personal perspective. I still have to complete my daughter’s last two years in high school. Debating on if I’m going to continue after her senior year, and continue to keep an album during her university years.

    I'm also not up to date on my kid's albums. I have an 8x8 album for each one with pregnancy and hospital and a coming home page. I plan to copy them before they leave the house. I plan to do a first year album for them both but you know who knows when that will get done. I also started a school album that just has her school photos for each year - I need to catch up and then start my other child's. It's on the list :). I have included school photos on the family albums (when I randomly have done albums).

I plan on doing project life going back till my pregnancy and just doing it all as it happened in MY life (because it’s my project life right!?) but I’d love to do a baby book for both kids and I have some photos from my son’s first mom but idk how in the world I’ll get those projects done...

Regarding the current situation...I’ve done a couple of layouts...one showing the impact to me....one showing a load of photos of an empty London. Ive also taken screen captures of newspaper headlines, the prime ministers letter that has been sent to all households, the weekly death toll and infected numbers.

Our new laws state that we can only get in the car and travel anywhere for essential shopping, medical needs and kids care. The fines are $1000 for going for a drive otherwise!! 😳😬 It’s a very trapped feeling not being able to even go for a twenty minute Sunday drive to get the kids out of the house, without physically getting out of the car. We will see if we can FaceTime him maybe on Monday. Archie’s god parents are Ben and my bestie Karen. We haven’t baptised Violet yet, but her godmother is my other bestie Sam and Aaron hasn’t told the godfather yet so I can’t say yet hehe!
