Hi Everyone,
Today I thought I would share with you some of the way I start out a scrapbook page. My mom has always asked, how do you decide what picture to do? What makes you pick the colors you pick? You know stuff like that. So today I thought I would share with you a little bit of my process and how I start out a layout project…
First thing I learned was…Do not scrap in chronological order. Pick a picture that inspires you…So for example the next layout I’m working on is with this picture….I love this picture of Ethan and his grandparents.
The problem is my mother-in-law is wearing a green sweater and it just seemed to stand out in this picture, so I had it printed in black and white…

Generally when I’m selecting the colors I’ll use with my project I pick from the picture. Since I’m using a black and white photo I can pretty much pick whatever inspires me.
Next I start looking through my cardstock and I pick colors that I want to use as photo mats, titles, accents…
Then I move on to some other pattern paper that I think might coordinate with my main focal color pattern paper. Since I went with a black and white picture I pulled in more black and white (really off-white) colors.
Slowly I start pulling out supplies that I think I may want to use somewhere on my layout.
Like Punches…
embellishments and stamps…
I don’t always use what I pick and sometimes I pick something different as I’m working…
As I start to work on this layout I will snap more pictures and show you more of the process. Thats all for today, I hope you enjoy the day.
Hugs and happy scrapping 🙂
