We have a thread about our current rules, if we have any when scrapbooking.

Now I want to ask if you had any rules when you first started scrapbooking.

I don't really have any rules I follow now. But back in 2002 when I first started I sure did!

Mine were:

Cram as many photos on as I can

Match paper colors to colors in photos

Two page layout

Long Journaling with every detail imaginable

Journaling was almost always on vellum

Lots of stickers

Use all the fun new items

Back my photo at least once, if not twice (so not white boarder when printed)

4x6 photos only

Takes photos of everything

Fun question! Mine were:

Every layout needed a title, top and bottom borders, and a journaling block.
Every layout had to be a double-page.
Colors had to match photo colors.
Photos had to be matted, and there had to be a focal photo.

That's what happens with the first grandchild! So, I guess my rule was "Leave no photo behind!"

I cringe whenI look at those early pages.
