so little time
So many photos . . .
Digital cameras, cell phone cameras, online sharing,
and easy scanning of older and vintage photos are all
resulting in what can be a staggering number of
photos to make sense of and preserve.
If you’re overwhelmed, feeling guilty or perhaps
just plain motivated to winnow them down and get
the shots you love into albums, read on and find
out how you can get it scrapped!
When you’ve got a basic organizational routine,
everything seems easier—because it is. Chapter
One gives suggestions on how you can be
ready to scrap as the urge or opportunity
arises by having an ongoing plan for staging
your photos.
The remainder of the book is structured
around “page types.” There are several typi-
cal page types that most of us scrap, each
with its own requirements and opportunities.
Once you understand these—Events, Moments,
Yourself, Everyday Life, Collections and Your World—you
can get to the heart of your pages while getting them scrapped.
