I have been challenging myself to complete at least two 2-page digital layouts each weekend; one 2-page layout Saturday and then another on Sunday. It's not much, and I would LOVE to be able to do more but I am happy with having a goal, and it seems to working - and sometimes I do MORE!
For me, it also takes time to edit the photos and then do any on-line research I would like to include in the book. I'm happy to say I've been doing well so far! One of the projects I am working on is our trip to Vegas. I don't work in order of how it's going to appear in the book, I complete the layouts that I 'feel' like scrapbooking on that particular day and then re-arrange the pages as I need to. This helps me to be more creative as I am working on what I want to!
I do however, find I am a bit 'boring' when it comes to embellishing my digital layouts. I see soooo many ideas out there with layers and layers and layers of embellishments. But I have come to realize I am 'a square' when it comes to design - I like nice clean lines! I really just want my photos and text to be the main focus on my page. So I keep the embellishing to a minimum. Sometimes too, I like to get all the photos onto the pages with background papers, titles and journaling, then go back and embellish the layouts - not necessarily the best way to do it, but sometimes I just can't wait to see the photos on the pages!!!
What about you? What's your style... Simple or Elaborate?
Here are a few pages I've been working on.....
Enjoy!
