Scrap life / Pad Patter 11 Oct

You know you're a scrapbooker when....

you don't think of how many free hours you have today, you think of how many LO's you might get finished

 

You know exactly what template you'll use for the photos you just took.

 

You know you're a scrapbooker when....

you want to always be in front of the crowd when taking photos so you get the best angle.

 

You go to certain places or have your family members dress a certain way because you already bought the kit for the layout.

 

You know you're a scrapbooker when...
you take photos with a layout in mind, knowing how many photos of which orientation you will need. And yes @bonnenuit I have done that too. My daughter lost her first tooth wearing pink and the kit was blues and greens, so she had to change.

 

You know you're a scrapbooker when...

You take a strange picture and your kids say "what? are you going to scrap about this?"

 

You know you're a scrapbooker when:

You're thinking of a title for the page when you take the picture.

 

. . . you're composing in your head the journaling you'll write on a scrapbook page as you take pictures.

 

You know you're a scrapbooker when....

you take the same photos of each kid and later that day one asks, "Are you done with my page yet?"

 

You know you're a scrapbooker when....

your grandchild says "take a picture so Mymy can scrap it"

 

You know you're a scrapbooker when...

friends/family come to you when they need help finding a certain photo or event info. (Basically, you're the family chronicler/reporter.) They know you've got it all photographed, documented, and tagged/organized.

 

you are taking photos of weird things like bark of trees or your feet on the ground... LOL always thinking what you can make a page out of!

 

you know you're a scrapbookers when....

you know what types of extra photos you want to take on vacation because you want to scrap like Lynn Grieveson

and... when you get unreasonably upset when you see other people taking tons of photos knowing that they're not ever going to print them or document the stories that go with them (not that I actually get unreasonably upset... just that it isn't a thing I should really be upset about at all, but it does make me sad).

 

You know you are a scrapbooker...
... when you can't sleep and count scrapbook layouts instead of sheep.

@bellbird BTW, I checked my gallery and I am now officially at 100 pages. Woot, woot!

 

DH has gotten into the "fun" of me taking weird photos. He really likes the feet thing and has joined in on me in a few of those. He even commented to his mother about it, and in a good way. I had to break the news to him that taking photos of feet was not my idea, someone else came up with it. LOL!

 

Awesome re your 10 pages Marilyn... and 9 away from 1500 layouts!

 

ha ha.. too cute.. yeah my DH has even taken some for me lol for textures too! He photographs food too for me if he has a better angle. Glad they love our hobby!

 

Oh my! I didn't even look at my count. Now I'm even more excited!

 

Yes.. I think I am 7 away from 3000... I am catching up to Cynthia @MrsPeel who is number 1, however she has been scrapping her tootsies off this week so catching up will take me longer LOL
