Hey scrappers, Polly Jewelle here! Today I have a two more tips in our pocket scrapping out of order series to share with you. Although I primarily do hybrid pocket scrapping I believe these tips can work with digital pocket scrapping as well. Lets get started!Tip #2 Keep all your record keeping in one placeIn this day and age we have the ability to keep records about us, our children, pets, activities, etc. However with the growth of technology we seem to be keeping these records in a bunch of different places.

Pocket Pages: Newbie Perspective
Everybody knows that Pocket Pages, inspired by Becky Higgins' Project Life, are all the rage right now. And they are not going anywhere! The concept has been around for a while but it took me, personally, a couple of years to jump on board the bandwagon. My personal story involves completing P365 (a photo a day) in 2010 and it was a fantastically documented year for us! Then I sort of wimped out after that with regards to organized projects and continued scrapping whatever struck my fancy (which, by the way, is totally cool). Last year, I dabbled in the Pocket Pages, doing a 2 page spread a month, but I still havn't completed the year because it is very difficult for me to summarize most of our months in 2 pages and still manage to get any "story" documented. Not to mention, streamlining the photos. I took forever just figuring out what to include! So this year, I decided it was … [Read more...]
