For some people, their work IS their life. It fills a gap that was overlooked. Now if they would just come out with Renaissance Fair papers........ I know I can use some castle and fairy tale papers (and have), but I’d like something more specific to Renaissance Fairs. A lot of people go every year, and there are Renaissance Fairs in nearly every U.S. state, not to mention those who like to go to Medieval Times would probably buy them, too. Omg, Renfest paper would be amazing. I go every year, sometimes multiple times. This would be a great thread, paper lines we would love to see. I would love to see more musical lines, lines devoted to concerts, etc...I have used 3 (!!!!) of the DCWV Rockstar pads now. |

Work is not my life, but throughout the years I have worked with some people that I've had so much fun with, I'd like to remember them even with no picture.
I would not scrap any crappy parts at all. My current boss...blech! My previous one? He was so awesome!

I’m a scrapbook the good, bad and ugly scrapper and I realize not everyone likes scrapping the not so great times in their life. I recently left a job that I originally loved and ended up really disappointing and a little scary after some major changes. I’m so thankful for the small selection of photos I took there, during the good times and even the bad, and before and after a renovation. I will end up scrapping about the ups and the downs. Work makes up such a huge part of our lives (for most of us) and we spend such a large portion of time at work, on commute, and getting ready for work. I can’t imagine excluding that huge part of my story from my scrapbooks. I have scrapped past jobs, including waiting tables, babysitting, working on a farm and in a corporate office, and I love looking back at those layouts and examining what has changed and what hasn’t. I like the looks of this line and will pick up bits and pieces. Some will be used for work layouts, some for non-work-related layouts. I can definitely use anything with books on it.  |

Can I ask how you got the pics to scrap that? I feel like maybe a put out a misconception with this post that I don't like my job, I do!! But there is no way I could take pics at my work, my co workers would not like that, plus like I said before it would be like scrapbooking an audit, lol. I guess it has just never occured to me to even want to take pics at my work. |

But there is no way I could take pics at my work, my co workers would not like that, plus like I said before it would be like scrapbooking an audit, lol. I guess it has just never occured to me to even want to take pics at my work. Sure! Waiting tables we would sometimes take goofy pictures and we would sometimes have holiday displays that we would take pictures in front of. I have a styled photo of my server apron with my order pad with an order on it and a pen that I took toward close one time. Working on the farm, I stuck a disposable camera (this was pre-digital) in the pocket of my hoodie and took pictures. My peers/co-workers were already used to my friends and I taking tons of pictures, so they didn’t bat an eye. At my corporate office job, my desk space was in its own area, so I would take pictures of my desk, what I was working on, an occasional selfie, etc. They had a big team culture there so I have plenty of photos of myself and other team members or group photos. I also saved photos of projects we did there. I have the most photos from my last job, which was at a library. A big part of my job was creating programs for children and teens. The managers always reminded us to take photos of our programs and we had photo release forms that parents filled out. The photos ended up in the board newsletter and on social media and marketing pieces. But I’m very good friends with my former library coworkers, and we would take photos together in front of our displays, program pieces and stations, and of us dressed up for any of the programs (we would frequently have to dress up on theme). My first manager there was really good about getting team photos and silly photos, too. I also worked evenings and worked by myself on my floor for two hours each evening, and usually there were no patrons toward closing, so I took photos on my phone of my workplace as it changed, monthly displays, our office area over the years, changing decor, etc. One year I took detail photos as part of Week in the Life. I have photos from holiday parties, retirement parties, anniversary parties, and other events from all my business/organizational jobs. Now I’m a stay at home dog mom who does pet sitting for other people, so I take cute photos of my adorable charges for their families and for my scrapbooks. |

I remember asking this question a year or two ago. I scrapped my teaching career with two very large albums, but couldn't imagine scrapping my desk job. Ever. Now that that job is only working from home, my coworkers are two dogs. I have to remember that everyone has different jobs with different situations and some people want to scrap those things.

On the topic of photos at work. I have pictures of my DH holding his first team meeting that his boss took. They are a small company and he only has a few people under him. Typically he would just do 1:1 meetings as needed so this was a novel situation. I emailed his boss (we've know each other for 20yrs and DH said it was ok) who emailed me the photos. I have also taken photos of his work when the kids and I have visited as well as during holiday parties.
When I taught I took tons of photos that I then gave copies to the children and their families. Plus photos with my coworkers during and after hours. This was back in the early 2000s.

Like it was said above, this line isn't really for people in an office at a corporation. I think it was designed for women who work at home running their small business (related to scrap/planner/mlm businesses).

But there is no way I could take pics at my work, my co workers would not like that, plus like I said before it would be like scrapbooking an audit, lol. I guess it has just never occured to me to even want to take pics at my work. A few more thoughts: I’m not shy about taking photos in situations where other people may not think to take photos, but I’m very respectful of other people’s comfort level in being IN the photo. If anyone looks uncomfortable with being in a photo, I won’t take the photo. I can’t imagine anyone getting upset about taking a picture of your desk set up, though. Although for some professions, you legally can’t take photos of your work due to privacy law. In those cases, I’d take a photo of the outside of the work building, how I spend my lunch break, a styled shot with the company newsletter, photos of my getting ready routine, my commute (if stuck in traffic or on public transport), my work uniform/wardrobe, my wind down after work routine, and photos at company events. And there’s always the option of scrapbooking your current stories about work either without a photo or with a current selfie. With everyone having a phone with a camera on it and taking more photos of everyday life, I think it’s viewed as more acceptable to take photos more places - places you may not have used previous film on a couple decades ago. Here’s a link to a layout I did about the commute to a former job: http://instagr.am/p/4nZSyOM42Z This is AWESOME!!! I only wish I'd taken MORE pictures at my jobs. I once had a job where my (shared) office looked out on the Statue of Liberty. It was in the pre-cellphone days, so I never thought to take a picture of my desk w/the Statue of Liberty out in the distance behind it. I wish I'd taken more pix of the different security tech (starting in the bad old days of keys, to key cards, to iphone apps etc.) I've worked for so long and have mostly loved most of my jobs. So, there is MORE THAN ENOUGH for me to scrap to use a collection every year. Vs. say the stupid (to me) annual St. Patrick's day papers and such. |

I wouldn’t take photos at work. I’m in IT at a large company. You could inadvertently expose confidential information. In fact, in a class about protecting information they used this exact scenario. Taking a selfie at work during a fun activity had sensitive information in the background. So I would never document my work, at least not with any photos.

I haven't yet, but plan to scrapbook about my work. I love what I do, I run my own company (real estate), and I get to see and do so many interesting things. I also want to scrap all my business cards through the years from previous jobs (I think I have my nametags too), and detail my jobs and awards. I have always thought making those pages look like big file folders would be cute. |

I've pretty much always worked in a non-traditional environment although my jobs have mostly been office-y. I have quite a few photos from most of my jobs (including the opera cat who lived in the costume shop), and my current job is represented by three full albums at the moment. Some of the parts of this collection I wouldn't use, and some I would. We shall see. I'm drawn to the "Organized" paper with the tidy bookshelves. Maybe I'll buy it for inspiration because my current office is a wreck! |

Here is a different take on your question. I have tons of pictures of my grandpa (he died before I was born).. there were a lot of him at his work. They are really fun to look at. They are big so you can see some of the office 'stuff' as well. This was probably in the era of the 1930s. While I don't know anyone other than my grandpa (well sorta).. they are fun to look at and scrapbook.
