I pulled some papers last night, and I'm about to get started. I'll have to pause at a few points for housekeeping and for a baking project, but other than that you'll find me scrapping for most of it. Here are a few that I finished this week. I'll need to order a handful of photos still in order to finish this 2008 Disney album, but I'm getting closer. This weekend I'm back to working on my 2019 again. What are you working on?    |

I've cut blanks for 60 more postcards for the nursing home and pulled papers and a stamp to use. Got 3 made so far and found myself side tracked, lol

I made an April goal to finish 4 nearly completed pages and do 4 pages. I’m a slow scrapper so hoping to work on some this weekend.
ETA I also have an enormous stack of pages to put in albums. Honestly if I just did that, I’d feel accomplished.

msliz Lovely Disney pages! I worked on finishing a few layouts, putting away others, and made a couple PL cards. I'm hoping tomorrow I might have the mojo to scrap more. The desire is there.

Our weather turned really cold and wet this weekend so I've been scrapping. I've caught up on my PL pocket pages for this year, finished a partially done layout that's been on my desk since last weekend, and started a new layout last night. It's meant to be fairly miserable again today so I'm planning to spend more time in my scrap room making stuff.

It's meant to be fairly miserable again today so I'm planning to spend more time in my scrap room making stuff. Thank goodness for bad weather! I've been feeling just a little bit guilty because it was a nice day here, and I never finished raking up the leaves from last fall. Just those stragglers that blew into places I'd already raked out. But the gardens can wait until Monday. These are my only two for today so far. I'm having one of those days where I'm very indecisive, and my layouts end up being very simple. That's not a bad thing, but I think it's funny how much my mood can end up influencing the finished page.   |

I plan to tomorrow! I finally have a day off, I just got a large order from scrapbook.com and citrus twist as a reward for working a crazy amount of hours this past month, and have lots of ink for my photo printer ready to go. That's the plan, hoping the teenagers and the DH don't want to spend any time with me...fingers crossed!😂

I am forcing myself to finish those pics of DD, the grad photo proofs that I found. Then I can move on to something else lol. msliz I love those pages, great job! I am sneaking in a page here and there while trying to get some house stuff done, even though I was at home, it was a crazy work week. |

I was up at 4:00 a.m. (not by choice)! I got a 12x12 page done with divided sheet protectors. I worked on a few other pages, but didn't finish any. A journal card here, a mat cut out there... |

I just got 2 of their albums yesterday and I am already in love with them! I'm trying to decide what to use them for. I think one may be to document this time, covid/quarantine, and the other a short Disney trip I took right before all thos happened. They look like so much fun to work with! |

I finished my Tangled layout today from last weekend’s Disney Crop. I’ve worked on it a little here and there since the crop.
I still have plenty of Disney layouts to go for our 2017 Disney World trip, so I will be continuing to work on them.

After having a mostly lazy, unproductive day I got started scrapping after dinner. I just finished up a two page layout using Jen Hadfield Simple Life. I’m really happy with it.

Yesterday, I spent time with my planner getting stuff planned out for April. Even with stay at home orders, I am trying to keep things regular with my planner. I also created three more pages in my memory book. I’m having so much fun with those dies.
Today, I’m planning on scrapping. I’ll be live at 3pm eastern in my Facebook group if anyone wants to join me. (Https://www.facebook.com/groups/onemommyscrapping) I think I feel more memory book creativity brewing too. 💜

I'm just worried your invitation will get lost in this thread. Could you start a new thread so more Peas will see your invitation and link? I stayed up late last night with my box of Shimelle and made these two pages. Her stuff is so much fun. I was able to punch some tiny sea creatures from her mermaid paper.   |

I'm trying but I've been feeling pulled in a million different directions this weekend. Should I be gardening, sewing masks for myself and my husband, making cards for donations, making cards for my shop, inventorying the pantry and cooking food, working on scrapping last year or this year or starting my CoronaVirus Diaries? Yesterday I made cards and then worked on a digital page about Tokyo DisneySea where we were this time last year but it ended up being a bit of a bummer. The photos weren't great because IMO the day was a bit crappy, so I probably need to move on to another story. I'm working on a 5x8 digital book that I started last year. It was supposed to be one thing (a place for fun stories and highlights) then it morphed into something else (a weekly year in review to share with family) and now I'm trying to get back to my original intentions. I made a version for the family but never ordered myself a copy so I'm trying to decide how much overlap there should be. I will order myself a copy when I'm done with this book. Here’s the page I made on Friday ??  12 Twinning Winning by jo.blackford, on Flickr And here’s the page I slogged through yesterday, but I will probably replace the photo of the mom and kid at the bottom with a different one of the kid with the crowds  12 DisneySea J by jo.blackford, on Flickr |

Yes - I'm struggling to settle to something...Today I finished up the 60 postcards for the nursing home, started shredding until I killed my shredder, cleaned part of my scrapbook desk....I have cut but unsewn masks, a partially scrapped Disney album, and housework and ... I do love your Disney pages! |

joblackford, I love your journaling and the clean look of your digital pages. You just can't get that look with paper scrapping. Linda, I don't know where you get your energy! I hope your shredder manages to come back to life.

Here are a few that I finished this week. I love the way you used that Cinderella paper! I will put that in my memory bank. I am not scrapping. What I am doing is putting photos into page protectors. My best scrapbook pal is doing a porch drop off on her way to work of those 12x12 envelopes that will allow me to start sliding in paper and embellies I want to use for each one. I am still in the early stages of scrapbook room reorganizing. I am moving slow as molasses. But everyday I do a tiny bit among other things. Tomorrow is my son's birthday so I was getting things together for a birthday lunch with just us and presents. I'm going to pick up some thai takeout and try to grab an ice cream cake. Then I filled the Easter baskets for next week. Lots of photo ops this week. I'm also editing photos and sending them to Walgreens for printing. When I finally start scrapping I will be so far behind. I haven't even finished Christmas photos. |

Well things finally settled down here enough to sit at my scrap desk, cause sure enough the teenagers not only wanted a piece of me, but they wanted to play monopoly!! Which they haven't wanted to play in years, and my DS17 usually never wants to participate in anything, and sure enough he was all in and he dragged DH in and DS 22! Needles to say the game lasted almost 4 hours. It was fun and nice to see them all getting along and laughing since they all have such strong willed personalities. So I took tons of pics! joblackford I love your layouts! And I too am feeling pulled in different directions, house, cooking, baking banana bread with the ripe bananas, ordering stuff online to make masks.. the list goes on and on! And even sitting down to scrap, like you also I am torn what to work on! My head says start the covid/pandemic album cause it's fresh and you can keep up with it and it's important cause its has impacted my DS17 Senior year so I need to document it. But it's so sad and stressful that I feel like working on happier things like family gatherings that I am so missing right now that I am not able to get together with our large extended family. So here I sit! Lol! Better get on it before they want dinner next! Let's see what I can get done! |

I did some work on my Japan trip pages, made some progress, then hubby said he was going to cook one of the things I had been planning to cook, so I was able to get back to scrapping.
I noticed that the capture dates on some of my photos was messed up (thanks, time zones) and so I tried to use the "find" function for specific photos and ended up spending about an hour tagging all (?) of my Japan trip photos roughly with keywords. So now I can actually pull up all of the Wizarding World photos without having to scroll through the ones from the next day that got mixed in. I must be REALLY trying to avoid something!
Anyway, progress of some sort.
My pages are clean and simple because I don't know where to start with patterns and colors on digital pages. Adding anything more than photos and captions is a stretch for me. I can barely fit all of that onto my pages, so I'm afraid to even try to add more.

joblackford - what do you use to design your digital pages? Eventually, once I have them all scanned, I'm hoping to make some digital photobooks of my mum's photos (not all of them - I'm not made of money - but a selection so we can actually flip through and see them. msliz - love your pags - those fungi are adorable!

These particular pages I’ve been doing from scratch in Photoshop, but usually I use Blurb. They have a module in Lightroom if you happen to use that, but otherwise their free software is really easy to use and customizable. It’s also an offline solution, so you can spend as much time as you like figuring out the layout and then just upload the finished file to their site when you’re done. Their prices are pretty good although the quality of the printing could be better. They have a good range of sizes for photo books. |
