Sunday Scrappin'

I have been scrapbooking since before 1996 and I have always said there are three distinct activities in scrapbooking - shopping for scrapbook supplies, organizing scrapbook supplies and then actual scrapbooking. I am glad that I am finished with shopping for scrapbook supplies. I can only image the thousands of dollars I have spent on scrapbook supplies that I have never used and never opened. Now, I wish I was done organizing my scrapbook supplies. I have never had a space that I was totally happy with and I have determined that I just have way too much stuff and I will never get it all organized unless I ruthlessly purge my supplies. So, this week I went through two boxes. One was older duplicate photos that I have already scrapbooked. I threw away a bunch of random photos and am going to let my kids go through the rest. If they don't want them they are going in the trash. I have one small stack that I kept for myself. The second box was miscellaneous supplies. I have started a trash pile, a sell or give away pile and a keep pile. I plan to be ruthless. I want an organized scrap area where I can actually do some paper scrapbooking. I will let you know how it goes.

This week I got three digital layouts done. These are all from Jessica Sprague's Photoshop Friday series. For only a dollar you get some awesome templates and instructions to make great layouts.


My to-do's for next week:

1. Continue doing something, anything in my never ending quest for organization of my scrap supplies.
   
2. Catch up on My Project Life 365 pictures, journaling, and blog posts.
3. I still have not done a thing other than download the materials from the on line class with Shimelle Lane. It is both photography and scrapbooking so I want to get started with that this week.

The challenge last week was to use flowers on a layout - there are two flowers on the Lovely layout so I think that qualifies.
