My Current LO Method

I'm working mainly from digital images for this scrapbook. Here is my method.

1. organize the images, tweaking as needed - this seems to be the most time consuming thing. I just love that red eye corrector!

1. print and cut the images in desired sizes

2. LO the images. I keep 2 sheets of plain white paper to lay out the images as they are cut. From the images I decide what background to use then print it off or use paper I already have.

1. If I'm doing a computerized title, I design that then print it onto the paper.

2. Do the journaling. Most of mine is done on the computer but there is handwritten dates or names under some pictures. I print the journaling off then play with how I want it on the page.

1. embellishment - Now I lay out any embellishments I want to use.

NOTE: everything is layed out *before* attaching to the actual page. Then I attach each photo/element in order being careful not to disturb the others. In this way, I can do a two page layout in about 30 minutes but only if the photos are organized.
