What I'm Currently Working On...

What have I been up to? A few weeks ago, I ordered a stack of prints from my favorite printing company Mpix. This week I sorted the pictures I want to scrapbook and even got a page completed. I haven't scrapbooked any events in 2016 yet. I've been super duper busy with our move and feel like I'm now finally catching my breath a bit. 

I was happy with this end result. These are photos from this past winter, and the many many hours we spent painting our new house. 

I loved that I saved some of the paint samples we used, and was able to incorporate them into my page. In my opinion, this is better than any embellishments I could have bought. As I show more of my scrapbook pages in the future, you may notice that I rarely use embellishments. Paper is my first love and that is mainly what I use. If too many embellishments are used, they take away from the photo and when people look at my scrapbook pages, I want their eye to go straight to the photo, not the embellishments. Another key thing for me is journaling on the pages. I try to make that a priority. Photos can mean so much more if you know the story behind the photos! 

What's your opinion on my latest scrapbook page? Any tips or ideas? I would love to hear from you!
