~ assembly lines ~

Today was all about assembly lines...

1st line...I had a couple of friends over to help me put together the registration packages for my upcoming fundraiser Scrappin' for MS.
2nd line...these same friends helped me purge, one scrapbooking section at a time, for the "Garage Sale" at the fundraiser.
3rd line...my mom called me and told me that my grandparents complained that they haven't received any recent pictures of my little one. So, feeling the guilt, I thought to create a mini album of Juliana, of the past few months. Being inately {& sometimes obsessively} fair, I knew that if I created a mini album for these grandparents, I would have to do it for all three sets. Hence, assembly line #3.

Although I'm taking a mini break to blog, I'm enjoying this mini album assembly line.

To make this process enjoyable, quick & fun I'm doing the following:
  • one page at a time, for all three albums {all page 1, then page 2, etc.}
  • chosing simple layouts with one or two pictures each {makes for easy cropping & photo editing & highlighting of special days}
  • using very little embellishments {just brads, some stamping & ribbon}
  • printing the photos at home {the same photo, 3 times on one page, saves me time & money; they all come out looking the same too!}
  • cutting the patterned paper, for all three pages, while I'm waiting for the photos
  • gathering my embellishments & adhering it all together, once the photos & paper are ready
I'm feeling quite productive. I'll post some pictures of the whole event & completed albums{hopefully} tomorrow.
Talk to you then,
Cindy
