2018 Vista Project – installment 7: Paper selection part two

Continuing the paper selection from part 1.

Mahogany Bay. I am considering using some of the cut outs for these pages.

Belize. There may be a cut out or two for these pages also!

Cozumel

Sea Day #3

The time when they make us leave…

In all fairness, the paper selection for our excursion to Dolphinaris was purchased at Scrapyourtrip.com. I knew that I needed this paper when I first saw it so I made sure to purchase a large quantity! And I’m glad I did as they no longer have it in stock.

I was not finding anything I thought would be appropriate for the Cat in the Hat breakfast until I started searching the internet. This came up in scrapbook.com so I bought all they had!!!! I may be making a paper change on the Seuss parade!!!!

Now that all of the paper has been selected, all that is left is for me to find the correct color paper for matting some photos. The final part of the paper selection will be my shopping list. Hopefully it will not be a very long list. At least that is my hope at the moment.

Thanks for reading this blog. I hope you will return for the next installment.

2018 Vista Project – installment 6: Paper selection part one.

This is truly a labor of love. Unfortunately this labor of love will be broken down into two parts.

Before we even left for this cruise, I started buying paper pads from Michaels that I knew would be used for this adventure. After all, it’s now often that you can take a 4-generation family cruise. These are the paper pads I purchased. All are 12 x 12 and the quality of the paper is awesome.

And now for the selections by day:

Travel day

Embarkation day.

Sea Day #1

Sea Day #2

These are the selections for the first few days. The next installment will have the remainder of the days of this cruise. So please come back to see what I have selected for the remainder of the cruise.

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.
