FotoInspired Inspiration February 2017

So far I’m about ONLY ONE week behind on year 2017, but that is because many of my double-page spreads cover 2 pages .

Slowly chipping away at my year 2016 FotoInspired Project and have made some headway by completing March this month.

Thoughts on Being Behind.

We all have more photos than we need or can use, so if you accept ‘being behind on your scrapbooking’ as the nature of the beast – It helps take the pressure off a LOT.

And if you are new to the project and are several months or years behind…

You need to be realistic about what you can achieve in any given amount of time.

Try breaking the task down into smaller more manageable sub projects by working ONE month at a time.
Use this on-line calendar, to view dates.
Create folders for each of the weeks or months according to the calendar dates, and I definitely recommend at least 2-4 weeks per spread in order to feel like you are making progress with your FotoInspired project. Monthly layouts are preferable if you are serious about catching up and staying on track.
Place copies of the photos, that you want to include in your pages, into each of the folders. This isolates your chosen images from your photo archives and enables you to better assess how many photos you have for each double-page.
Condense or break-up weeks/months, so you have a sensible number of photos per spread, adding or eliminating photos according to your personal preference.

Then, it all happens one layout at a time.
