Just curious what projects everyone is working on?
I just finished a 6-volume project from my 2024 UK trip and an 8x8 album for DD18's high school years.
Currently finishing up an 8x8 album for DD18 - Ambassador Girl Scout (11th/12th grade)
Also picked up photos today to start DD's college album - she started 30 Jun for Summer B term and finishes that this week - and photos of homecoming day for our newest kitten, Pippin
That should keep me busy for a bit.
Not sure what'll be next - choices include finishing up some more UFO albums, working on current (-ish) photos, or tackling another trip album |

I'm working on a 35-40 page Washington DC Album from my trip in June. DS (16) wants a copy, since he was there, so I'll probably make a photo book of my 12 by 12 pages on Shutterfly so he can have his own copy.
I need to work on DD (18) graduation events/senior year pages.
Whatever random photos inspire me...

I started an album years ago that was of a family reunion we had at WDW. There are only so many Disney themed designs available, and I don’t like too much repetition. Besides, the Disney theme just didn’t work for every page. I got “stuck” and with DH’s health issues, had to step back for awhile. With digitals a recent, newer option for papers and embellishments, I started working on it again and have been making much better progress.

For the last few months I have been focussing on my Project Life. The only other layouts I've done have been layouts for the Sketchy Saturdays. Now that I am caught up on this year's PL, I am also doing bits and pieces for my PL 2024.
I'm going to have to be careful that I don't fall behind on my PL next month, when I'm going to be having so much fun with Sketchtember.

I am a few years behind (and I am very okay with that). Currently scrapbooking a Graduation party, from a few years ago. Always (by "always", I mean >> on and off) working on uploading and editing photographs, for printing. I like to have several albums ready and waiting on walgreens website.....so that when they have the order 100+ prints for .10 cents each or .12cents each, that I am ready and waiting. Always (by "always", I mean >> on and off), puttering in my scrapbook area.....sorting, putting away, pulling things out for the next group of photos, organizing, making words out of alphabet letters, etc.... ![]() |

I took my oldest on a birthday trip last month so I'm trying to wrap that album up this weekend in hopes that I can have it printed at Shutterfly and in my hands by the time their birthday rolls around in a few weeks. I have 2 pages to go + the album front and back.
Besides that, I'm still plodding through my wedding album and have a handful of pages in order to complete 2023. 2024 is about halfway done and I have a couple dozen pages for 2025 so far. I scanned in the rest of my childhood photos this afternoon and will work on a birth - college(ish) album next year. I am doing PL again this year and have January - March scrapped and photos pulled for April through mid-July.

I started my version of Project Life in 6x8 albums in 2013 (two albums for each year). Some years are done, some are missing things here and there, some years are lucky to have January done. I went through all of them and quickly finished those that were missing a thing or two. I took some and consolidated completed pages and pulled out all the empty pages. A couple I rounded up all the missing stuff and am working on completing them.
Honestly, it was a relief to just decide that most of them were fine the way they were and if I only ended up with one album that ended in June for that year, that was just fine! No one is going to look at them but me, so who cares?
And I'm also setting up layout kits of paper, embellishments, photos and a plan, for things I've been meaning to finish (or start) for a while now.
Edited to add - I'm recovering from hand surgery, so I'm limited in what I can do. Making kits and searching through old albums works just fine right now. |

I’m prepping for a retreat in September and printing photos for the SCT Pages for Paws classes.
Selecting, editing, and printing photos is my least favorite part of the scrapbooking process.

I exclusively scrapbook & only create layouts (no cards, TNs, Bible/art/junk journaling, mini albums, or special projects - e.g. DITL, WITL, OD, DD, JYC). Therefore, my lone "project" is always open, active (although S-L-O-W), & conceptual one layout at a time!  |

I've been doing more junk journaling than scrapbooking. I have photos coming this week, so I'll get back into scrapbooking.
I need to scan all the vintage photos I sorted from my parent's house. I plan to make photo books for myself and my siblings, then we can divide up the original photos. That might wait until winter.

Right now, I need to clear off my desk. There area few (ehm!) purchases that need to be put away. I also need to finish some classes/content that I have signed up/paid for. That is on my agenda for next weekend.

I keep bumbling along, scrapping the latest photos for my Summer 2025 album, slowly filling in gaps in my Winter & Spring albums, creating cards just in the nick of time. I *think* I just finished my last hockey page for a few months, but hockey camps start this month... Tomorrow I need to spend the morning card making. Lots of birthdays coming up that need cards!

Simple Stories has card kits that are fairly decent and i had one that arrived too late for a specific weekend I was going to use it, so I've been working on that. The kit has 8 cards and I have been making one a day. I've done 3 so far.

With digitals a recent, newer option for papers and embellishments, I started working on it again and have been making much better progress. I have 2 Disney albums I made from a 2004 (!!) trip that was just DH & I with the 2 younger kids. My style has changed somewhat since I made those many years ago so I'm actually really looking forward to making another 1-2 albums for a 2016 trip when we did a mini family reunion there...so like 28 people. (No, it's not scrapped yet...I'm waaaay "behind", but I don't necessarily always scrap chronologically.) I didn't use a lot of the traditional Disney-themed designs for the 2004 trip albums (I'm not a very theme-y scrapper), but I've been collecting LO ideas on a Pinterest board and I'm really looking forward to getting to the pages for the new album to use some of the fun LO ideas I've seen that I will scraplift. And I've been collecting materials for it so that might be my next "big" project. I don't do digital scrapping, but I can totally identify with new options/ideas revitalizing your motivation for a particular project! ETA: The 2016 trip also included a couple of days at Universal so I'll also have fun pages to do for HP's World and other stuff from that park in addition to all the WDW pages. |

I am concentrating on my PL album. I have trouble having too many things going at once. Once I put a project away then I am terrible about getting it back out. I haven't done a scrapbook page in over a year. I really want to get a few layouts done along with a few travel albums.

Currently:
For July PL, working on 2 full 12x12s and a monthly summary. Then I’ll be very current.
Travel album planning for a girls’ trip I just got back from. Deciding if I should make the album or order a premade. Leaning towards ordering from Citrus Twist.
Making a new smash book/junk journal for my daughter to use. She scrapbooked as a little girl alongside me and is getting back into it. She’s using one now that I made, but it’s almost filled up. Love it!

I'm more into junk journaling at the moment. I couldn't even tell you where I am at on my traditional scrapbooks. But I am working on a travel journal right now. Everything in it is travel related, airline stuff, maps, old brochures, old magazine ads... nothing that is themed other than just general travel, so there is international plus US stuff. I found an old souvenir photo album with a bamboo look on the outside (Hawaiian looking) and the insides are some kind of funky paper with raffia (or similar for attaching photos). I just cover those with whatever I am using.

I just finished my December 6x8 album today! Now I'm working on getting caught up on monthly PL (need to do June and July of this year), documenting a fun adventure with friends which may be the start of a 6x8 album dedicated to it and future get-togethers, and working on an on-going album for my dog's mental health progress, lol! I also want to make an ancestry album for my husband. I have the supplies and some of the information and photos, but I'm just not sure when I'm going get to it.  |

I'm loving the variety of projects everyone is working on.  I've finished up the 8x8 album for DD18's Girl Scouts and after working for months on a travel album and then completing two 8x8 albums in a row...I'm excited to have started an 8.5x11 album with just 1-2 photos/page and almost all single page layouts. I've grabbed my sketch binder and I'm one page in This is the start to DD18's college album - she'll finish up her first term on Friday (Summer B) and I would like to have that term scrapped before she starts fall semester on the 21st |

I decided to go ahead and print my Fall/Winter 2024 photos as well, so that when Sketchtember comes, I have a lot of options.

I finally decided that my kitchen renovation pages project was done, and stuck the last pics down and declared it complete.
-Keeping up with my STB style memory planner. This summer I've done more multi media on the pages; I'm opening up my paint/media cupboard and using some supplies rather than let them sit there and dry out.

Love hearing about everyone's projects! Currently I'm working on some traditional scrapbook pages from our trip to Mexico this past March. I decided against a whole album and just captured the trip in my PL and I'm doing more stories in my regular album. I'd like to get back to my PL album but need to pick up more photo paper.

I decided to start a 'my favorite things' album and I'm also trying to start an album of random pictures from my childhood/teen years. Both are 8.5 by 11, and I need to remember that and not scrap those layouts in 12 by 12 Still working on Washington DC, DS is very interested and keeps asking when it will be finished... and I made a little progress in DDs senior year album. |

I’m working on my first 12x12 layout in 5+ years. I’m using Vicki Boutin Flower Emporium for my DS trip to Greece & Italy this summer. So far; so good!
