Went scrapbooking today ... About This Page:

[maggieworkman]

and I got 20 pages done!

These are my cruise pictures from June. Basically all I did was use the same color scheme for all the pages. Since it was a cruise I used a sand color for the background paper. Then the accent colors were ocean blue, coral, and seaweed green. I just matted all the pictures and put a border strip down each page and either a square of diamond for journaling. I sometimes matted with the blue and then used the coral and seaweed for the border. Then I switched it around. So only those four colors are used and are used on every page!

I think with one more scrapbook workshop, I might be able to finish the whole trip. And we had about 500 photos!

WTG Maggie! I think this means that Sandy, Michelle, and I won't be able to sit with you at the PP meet though as you are so FAR out of our league!!!

Wow! That's a lot of pages! I went to a crop tonight and got 4 done in 5 hours (with a dinner break thrown in). Way to go, Maggie!

Yes, but I have seen some of your things and they are more elaborate. There is no fiber or eyelets or ribbon or anything on my pages. It is all just paper decoration. border strips and geometric designs.

Since I am far behind in my family album and I have 2 Disney trips to scrapbook yet, I had to do something simple to try to catch up. My philosphy is "Simple pages = completed albums."

Or, at the very least, we need to set up a pre-meet scrapbooking session to get all our pages "pre-made."

Excellent job, Maggie!! I sure hope you'll be bringing that cruise book with you to the MOA meet! Would love to see it.

That's great Maggie, and don't sell yourself short - even 20 simple pages at one crop is quite a bit of work! You'll be finished your book before you know it.

I thought I posted here yesterday, but somehow it didn't post...anyway, 20 pages , oh, man. Now we have to try to live up to that instead of your usual 14! Seriously, what an interesting way to do a book. It sounds like it would be beautiful and very original. I do hope you bring it to MOA. I've been meaning to email you and ask how you liked the cruise.

Vicky, Sandy and I scrapped at my house a couple of Saturdays ago. I got a lot done that day (not 14 pages though of course). I just finished my 2002 Disney trip so I can get started on our 2004 trip, with our cruise. Reading that you just scrapped your cruise makes me anxious to get going on mine!

Off the subject and I apologize, but you've got Def Leppard as your avatar and I'm dying. Where did you get it? I have always thought that I (excluding their families) was the biggest Def Lep fan ever.

Congrats on 20 pages.
My sister got me started on Scrappin' and her pages are fancy with eyelets and all--Me, I just want everyone to see my trips and my pictures so mine are simple too.
