Save Time and Stay Organized - Visitor's Scrapbooking Tip

Scrapbooking Tip: I love to scrapbook, but often I end up spending more time sorting through pictures than creating pages. Don't print all of your pictures from a vacation, Birthday Party or an entire month all at once. Print just the pictures you need for a particular page, then create the page before printing any more. When you are finished scrapbooking for the day, you won't have extra pictures to organize and put away. In addition, you can stay focused on just one page at a time.

Fion: Thanks Angela for your time-saving tip. Like Angela, I don't print all my photos from an event at once. With digital camera, I tend to take a lot more photos than ever before and I usually have them organized on my computer rather than printing them out.

I only print out those I'll like to scrapbook as this help me to save time, save space and not put me into the hassle of having to organized all those photo prints.

But if you are in need to share your photos and you know you'll be taking quite awhile before you scrapbook, why not choose a set of "favorite photos" (limit to 10-15 photos) from each event and print them out? This way, you can quickly sort them into a photo album that showcases all your favorite photos from various events. This way, you can scrapbook at your own pace and yet have some photos to share with family and friends.
