So many pages~


Hi everyone~anyone in the same shape as me.  I need to put all of my {4 piles of layouts} in albums~it is one one of my least favorite things to do.  I love to create and don't wan to stop and put these in sleeves!  I know that is terrible~


This isn't even all of them~I have some in the store { Craft Crossing} and I have 13 hanging in sleeves above my window ~my "scrappy" curtains.  I am estimating over a hundred but not sure until I gather them all up and count them.


I use the American Crafts albums~green and brown and attach a year on the side and front.  I have 10 of these and over 40 Creative Memories albums. I love looking back {and so do the grands}at the photos and remembering the moments!!!  Would love for you to cheer me on in this endeavor and I will cheer you on~let me know when you have your albums full of your fantastic scrapbooking layouts!!

Tomorrow {Jan 20th} I will be up over on Helmar's blog with a project using Authentique and Kaiser, along with my Helmar!! Hope you will stop in~

Wanted to also share with you~I have been out of pocket, my dad has been in the hospital and I have been at my parents home helping out where ever I can.  My dad is doing much better but a good friend of mine died Monday with cancer and  I just found out about another close family friends death last night~ Blessing to you all!! See ya soon!!

  1. You can do it, Connie! :) I use (and love) the AC albums too. I use four different colors and then blue for my parents memorial albums. I try to put my LOs into albums as soon as I've gotten about 5-7 done (I like to display them on a shelf for a while before "hiding" them away, LOL!)

  2. I think putting my completed layouts in the album is my FAVORITE thing to do... because I end up flipping through the whole album with a smile on my face. You can do this... and you'll enjoy admiring each page all over again! Actually... I just bought a new album ( a brown one with dandilions on the front ) and can't wait to start filling it up with pages.

  4. Hi Connie, waving hands- Yes, I am in the same boat. I have a huge stack of layouts inside a giant basket,and I really need to put them in albums too. AC albums are the best. Good luck!

  6. OH boy, can I feel your pain, I HATE putting layouts up also! I think it's because even though I don't scrap in order, I like to see my albums in order.

  10. I hate putting the pages in albums too, so mine sit inside page protectors in a bin on the counter for far too long. But seeing them pile up is lots of fun - you have to be proud of all that scrapping you've done.

  11. I am so sorry for the sad time you are going through. I pray for God's comfort for you and the family. I am thankful your Dad is doing better. I know he appreciates his wonderful daughter.

    I do not like getting the pages in the book. I only do it once a year. I am finishing up my last book for 2011. Good luck getting your pages in the books.
