Ali Edwards is giving away a digital element on her blog.
Becky Higgins talks about her picture-a-day philosophy on her blog a couple of weeks ago. Wow, a picture every day! I don’t know if I am up for that challenge. I am an everyday scrapbooker but take most of my photographs on special occasions. For instance, there were hundreds of photographs from my daughter’s second birthday (thanks to her aunt, who I gave my camera to and said take pictures). I think approaching life from a picture-a-day mindset would reduce the number of special occasion photographs and increase the everyday pictures. Which tells the more complete story of me and my family?
Celebrate Life is challenging scrapbookers to use old photographs. In this post, the photo in question came out of picture frame that had been displayed for quite some time. I liked this post because many scrapbookers are fearful of being behind in their scrapbooking. Just remember, whenever you do scrapbook something, your memory of the moment is never going to be exactly like it was when the moment happened. Just go with it.
Get It Scrapped! has a post about using color. Debbie Hodge poses five questions to consider when choosing colors for your scrapbook pages. My number one “rule” is that the colors should be pulled from the photographs. Hodge lists this second! Her first “rule” is to think about the emotions you want to evoke. Great point! Now dear readers, how to you go about selecting colors for your scrapbook pages?
