Hi there everyone!

I hope you've had a great Spring, because it looks like summer is finally on it's way! Yipee!
Scrapbooking your summer could include anything and everything; from camping trips to a family wedding. Whatever your summer holds, don't forget to take those photos and lots of them. Now, all of these photos can be very overwhelming, especially if they're digital {I still use my 35mm & polaroid for special occasions} & you want to print some. So, here are some tips on how to keep yourself organized & inspired:

• Download your photos onto your computer BEFORE your memory card gets full {you don't want to delete past memories to make way for that perfect shot today}
• Create those pesky folders on your computer harddrive as you download your photos {more organizing now means easier retrieval & more scrappin' time later}
• Create seasonal or event based photo CDs once you've download your photos {saves you time & hard drive space}
• Once you've downloaded your photos onto your harddrive or CD delete your memory card. You can now take more photos at a higher resolution {I've been known to minimize the resolution to get more photos ~ not always fun when editing}

I hope you have a great Summer! Watch for the summer based challenges, for your summer photos, in the next few months.
