How many Scrapbook Albums have you filled?

How many Scrapbook Albums have you filled? Do you have a theme for your album or is it just general?

I have only used one scrapbook album. However I have added lots of the extension packs to it. The album has a general theme.

That's tricky to answer accurately! I've nearly filled one 8 x 8 album that it purely for black & white and I've got a colour one that I've just started, but I've made and filled a couple of mini books. In my defence I only started cardmaking last November and didn't start scrapbooking until March

I've filled over 20 12 x 12 Scrapbooks most with extention pages plus loads of smaller albums. Been scrapbooking for 5 years & now teach tequniques based classes at home & elsewhere. I have themed them but have a general one on the go to house current projects before they are filed elsewhere. I have themed them as most are Heritage ones that will be passed on to my cousins children or my OH's neices & nephews. Have done cruise & general ones about us as well. Have an 8x8 dog one as well.

Thats what I call alot of scrapbooks!! You realy must have a large collection of photos etc. It would be great to see some of your pages.

I'm almost at the end of my first album - no theme in particular - I just scrap as the inspiration hits me!

Got some waiting to upload but could not find the necessary buttons to do so. I upload onto 2 other sites & they are very easy. Is there any way this can be improved? I am normally very good on the computer. Think I have worked out to do it but we could have been told we need to click reply first!!! Also if you are on a lap-top or have a small screen or bad eyesight the trees don't show up on the icon.



This one was to show my class you don't need a photo, loads of different techniques used.

A very simple page, I took the photos on one of our cruises, this one was to the Artic & Greenland.

I like this page "lizzydripping". I really like the way to have put the small pictures at the bottom.

It is balanced that way & the focus is the larger picture. That is the most important thing I teach my classes, the photo should be the first thing you see. It is quite useful to see your pages uploaded because you can usually see the things that stand out & shouldn't.

Have I managed to kill this thread?

LOL I do that all the time dont let it worry you. Perhaps They are affraid to show you their work now as you will find fault. It is important for all to remember that there is never anything wrong with your work as we are all learning and will always be learning what is important is that thing reflect you and what things mean to you. This is never more true than when scrapbooking. As your families to come will look at these in the future and I feel they should have something of you about them. If you know what I mean. Well thats what I keep telling myself.
