Hi Sweet 'Ems! Did you miss me? I'm so glad to be hopping back around the Pad. I should probably introduce myself since I've been gone so long! You know how it happens, life just sneaks up on you and demands attention and the next thing you know...too much time has passed! If you have an important scrapping issue you would like advice about, you are in luck! I'm here to help you out! Dear Polly is a blog series here at the Pad where I, and my friends, tackle your burning questions. Not sure how a technique is done in the gallery? Ask away! Want ideas on photos or processing those photos? I'm your frog! Need help with your partner? Um, go ask Judge Judy or Dear Abby. I don't know how human relationships work. Each month the questions will be compiled and posted in a blog post. You can post your questions here in this thread, or you can PM them to me - Dear Polly. So, let's start gabbing. What crafty advice do you need today?
Welcome back @Dear Polly Have a few questions that are kind of related. How do you find time to scrap with a busy life? I really miss scrapping but it’s at the bottom of a very long list of priorities at the moment. How do you streamline your scrapping process? When I had heaps of time I could spend hours “scrapping” but hardly have anything to show for my time spent.
welcome back @Dear Polly ! I can say, you come in the right moment ! Since few years, I scrap B/W photos because the colors do not never fit with the kit I want to use. So I scrapped with B/W to escape the problem. But today, I want colors on my pages ! I want colors on my pictures ! And I really need advice and trip to have a photo treatment that fit with the kits. thank you Dear Polly !
Welcome back, lovely to see your smile again. I would like a feature on why and when to create single photo layouts. I love multi photos, using them to tell a fuller story, but many times there are challenges, speed scraps, templates that only require a single photo. How does one choose only one and what's the motivation for that.
Oh just thought of another question - I’m a super simple scrapper by nature, how would you simplify templates to meet your style? (thinking mainly FDD’s dressed down templates with this question)
Dear Polly, My scrapping mojo has left so I need to know how to start back to scrapping when my brain has no ideas?
Never met you Dear Polly, but I'm always open to advice! And I do have a question - Is there a list or a specific gallery of all the Pollys and including their screen name?
Hello Dear Polly, I'm so anxious to hear your sage advice to these wonderful questions that are already asked.
