| You could just use "Key" pictures in your scrapbook and put the other pictures in a photo album, if you like. I am doing a scrapbook on my Husband and my trip to Ireland. I have many pictures and it is hard to organize them. I also stress out about it. I am doing just a litle bit at a time. I have everything in a box. I am trying to organize the pictures such as all the castle pictures, all the cathedral pictures and churches and so on. There are many ways I could have orgainized them. Such as putting the castle pictures with the county or town they came from. But I chose to do it the way I wanted. That's what's fun about scrapbooking, you can do it anyway you want. I am trying to pace myself. I feel I need some more decorative paper to trim, or outline some pictures that I have already inserted in my book. I will wait until I can go to the store I want to, that is a ways off before I do any additional work on the book. But I might just sit down sometime and organize. I still don't know for sure what I am going to put on the cover?? I told about each picture and in my book, also I have so far inserted 2 tickets to Blarney Castle and a brochure of St. Patrick Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland along with a small paper back book, about St. Patrick's cathedral that will fit nicely in the scrapbook too. So try not to fret so much about your book. It may takes you months to finish it. But there should be no deadline. Just work at it when you can. Like I said earlier there is no set way that you have to do things. You could put just one picture on a page and tell about that picture or 2 or 3 pictures on a page. The amount of pictures on a page could be also according to how many pictures you actually want in the book. Try HGtv.com on the net. (Home and Garden Televison) They have a scrapbooking show that I have watched a few times. You possibly could get some ideas from this website. Good luck on your scrapbook. This is my first scrapbook also! ~Lynn~ |
