What's new

Since MOC is all about challenges ...

My biggest challenge is actually taking the time to scrap. Before kids I had all sorts of time, now with three (and one more on the way) I feel like I will never have time to complete a page! I use challenges like this to try to at least get a few pages done :)
 
see , the thing with the printing isn't fear of the actual getting them printed, but the fear that my money wont be enough.

I used to print everything- A guy from the very first place I scrapbook made a page about how the JPGs will, one day, become obsolete, but a paper photo lasts over a 100 years.....that plus the fact that I wanted to make hybrid books got me going...
I started scrapping making a collection of books for my daughter, one book per year, made 8- printed them all-
Then I printed my Project 52 weeks in 2011, a trip to Turkey (33 books of average 60 pages each) same year, and then got Project 52 of 2012 printed until June.... after that, only have printed books to send as gifts for my parents and other relatives... I have no money to print the books :(
 
Printing isn't my problem......I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, to hold my photobooks in hand. So worth the effort.
My challenge is sometimes just the blank canvas (investing in templates is helping).
 
Being organized enough to actually scrap the mini albums I have planned for some family members , and take the time ( without first " just checking " the Lilypad forum or gallery and staying for an hour or two LOL ) to really concentrate on scrapping and using new techniques.
 
figuring how to find what i am looking for in my stash...there are so many beautiful things but i cant always find them when i do a search.

for those who havent printed i have used blurb for the last few years and print a great yearly book... i set up the pages when the new year starts and after saving and loading a page to the gallery at tlp i then add my page to the blurb book so that at the end of the year i just have cover and editing to do...and it doesnt take too long to get the book ready to have blurb print it
 
I struggle with photos. My boys don't like their photos taken and finding other subjects is challenging. I'm tired of all about me pages too (and because all I do these days is work and study, we don't travel or do anything fun) so this is a continuos struggle right now.
 
"...finding things in my digital stash. I've yet to find a system for organizing files which wouldn't take days/weeks to complete but still would help my find a specific embellishment, if I need it...

THIS! I thought just tagging the previews in Lightroom would be enough, but I really need to be able to search "pink button" and have them all pop up. Unfortunately, if I tagged to that level, I'd never scrap again!
