2018 Vista project – Installment 5: Final photo elimination and the beginning of paper selection.

It feels good to know I have managed to make decision on the final photos that will go in the scrapbooks. I have managed to go from 2500 photos to 645. That means that 129 photos will be making their way into 5 mostly identical scrapbooks.

How will the 129 photos be broken down into scrapbook pages? Well, please allow me to tell you. There will be a total of 31 single page layout, 10 of which will only contain 1 photo. There will be 7 two page layouts. The largest majority of single page layouts will contain 3 photos. Most of those are from our excursion to Dolphinaris in Cozumel.

Now the fun part begins. Time to do some paper selection. This is just as time consuming as photo selection. But this is what I have so far.

Of course, like everything else, it is subject to change. In fact, now that I’m looking at the initial paper selection on here, I will likely change it. But I guess this will be the preliminary round of paper selection.

So, I will be spending some time over the next few days selecting paper for the photos I have. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I will not have to go shopping for paper and can match photo and activity with all the paper I have on hand. Wish me luck.

Please continue to follow my blog as I continue the scrapbook journey that is 2018 Vista Project.

2018 Vista Project – installment 3: Round one elimination of photos and look at what I found!!!

First things first. Time to determine which photos will be considered for a scrapbook page and which ones will end up in the photo album. None of the photos will be thrown away. I keep them all. After I finish going through them, the photos are separated accordingly and put back in the boxes.

While I was looking at the photos, I kept having a feeing that I was missing some photos. I remembered where the original scrapbook was so I went to get if off of a top shelf. When I opened it up, and found a couple of page kits I had put together! But I still had a feeling there were more. And I was right.

I took another scrapbook binder off the top shelf and found a lot more page kits I had put together and were never finished. There are a total of 37 page kits which include 12 subjects. The 12 subject page kits have 3 identical pages to finish. Plus the title page which is complete and there is only one!!! It is safe to say the scrapbook page kits will remain in this binder until they are complete! As the pages are completed, I will be sure to do a blog about the completed pages. Please keep in mind, this might take some time to get them all done so the scrapbook blogs may be in several installments.

Now that I have found the lost treasure of scrapbook page kits, I’m so happy I went to Michaels to purchase photo boxes. Too bad I could find were the ones I have, or at least had, on hand. I’m sure they will turn up whenever I rearrange and reorganize my craffice.

It did not take me long to transfer the photos from the shoe boxes I was using to the photo boxes I purchased. Now I everything feels right to me. At least for now.
