A few pages

I haven't posted much lately in the way of my pages, but I hadn't really done any lately, so.  I have a weird process when it comes to scrapbooking.  I take about 30 13'x13" Ziplock bags and I find 60+ photos I want to scrap.  Then I put the pictures in the bags, separated by a 12x12 piece of chipboard (so I get 60 pages per 30 bags).  Then I got through and methodically chose papers, embellishments, journalling elements, rub ons, stickers, etc. and I put them all in the appropriate bags.  I don't usually use everything I put in each bag, but I like options.  And oftentimes my original vision for the page morphs into something else entirely.  That takes awhile depending on how much time I dedicate (like a month maybe).  THEN I spend the next month actually making the pages.  It's a process that works for me and allows me to be more creative and less stressed (hobbies shouldn't make you stressed after all).  It helps to be uber-organized with all of your supplies.

Anwyay, enjoy!
