How do you scrap?

[gwany1999]

Just curious how everyone scraps large groups of photos? I am working my way through my disney album. I like to layout (usually with templates) all my pages first than go back and add all my papers, elements, etc. So just curious...

I usually always put my pictures in first to make sure I like the way they look. Then, like you, I go back and add paper, elements, etc.

I choose my photos first, then a template (usually) based on the # if photos. Then I pick a kit based on the colors/themes in the photos, Sometimes I fit the photos to the template first, sometimes I do the papers and embellishments first.

Same with the others, pick the pictures, pick the templates, then pick the kits

I'm backwards and scrap the layout, then find the photos!


Group photos: I just extend the photo area to fit the size/dimension of the photo and alter the elements/papers to fit said photo.

For vacations, I make a list of each event/ride/moment that I want to scrap. I scrap what seems easy or I'm in the mood for first by choosing the photos, template, then kit. I check off my list as I go.

When it's a book to be completed, I try to scrap in chronological order. It doesn't always happen that way. It depends on the kit, the template and CT commitments.

For an event like a holiday, I create a master folder and then sub folders of the pages I want to scrap. I then sort pictures into the subfolder. After that I will find the template / kit / etc. that suits what I am doing, I generally move a copy of the template into the folder - I am famous for saving over templates. Sometimes I move a copy of several themed kits into the master folder so all the pages have a consistent look. Not always, but sometimes. I also don't always use templates.

What I almost always do, though, is scrap in two page layouts so whatever the viewer sees together looks good. I usually do one big picture paid and then a second page with smaller pictures.

Depends, sometimes I pick a photo then a template & papers elements etc & sometimes I just open a kit & create a page & go back through my photos & find one that suits
Sometimes at work I am given an image & have to work around it & other times I am given free range so that crosses over into my scrapping

I usually have the photos in mind, and then find the kit. However, being on the creative team has caused me to switch this. If I know I have a certain kit to work with, I go in search of photos that work for the kit.

I first pick out all the photos. I don't always use templates, but when I have a large group of photos (I haven't done in a LONG time) that I want to scrap, I find templates. I add the photos and then find the kits.

For pages I'm printing in a book/album, I always start with the photos first then look for products that go with the theme or colors. I'm usually scrapping albums a year behind, which works out great with CT commitments, too. I don't have to wait to have Christmas photos, because I'm working on last year's photos. lol
