Sometimes, Lauren, it helps me to see that even a prolific scrapbooker like you is still going back quite a few years to get caught up. I have 20+ years of photos from my years in the U.S. Air Force Reserve to scrapbook. Sadly, there's only me to look at them, but I still feel the need to organize all that information and get it down in a way that tells my story. Also just found a scrapbook that my mother kept for her years as a member of the Women's Army Corps during WWII. It needs to be re-organized, labeled, stabilized, and finished. Mother is gone, so it would be in her memory. Lots of work. I've done nothing with over 20 years of photos, mostly sitting in digital format, and I struggle with how to approach that, as a widow with no children. Anyone on this thread have a similar situation?
I organized all the family photos in your photo folders and stored them in boxes stored on top of a cupboard in my craft room. If I die tomorrow, at least my family will know where all the photos are and they can do whatever they want with them. I scrap the photos I enjoy scraping at the time and do not feel the need to “catch up “. Thanks, Lauren for all your great ideas!😊
I love the review with improvements. I still have 30 years left to sort. The comment card will be especially helpful. I call relatives and include their quotes to include in journaling.
ASMR? Had to look that one up. Actually I enjoyed the video Lauren did with no talking, from the standpoint of seeing very quickly how a layout came together. But only as a ‘once in awhile’. We need to actually hear you, Lauren!
Do you have any ideas on what to do with those leftover photos? I don't scrap every picture and wonder how to organize those 'extras' Also I am a themed scrapbooker bc I got tired of doing chronological (and for those who are Type 1 about chronology - this idea won't work too well) So my themes are - 1. This is Us (holds all pictures about what dh and I do or go ortake part in. or any family events at OUR house 2. Grammies memories - Pictures of when the grandkids come to MY house. 3. People I love - friends, family, etc and when we go to kids homes for holidays 4. Past memories - these are older pictures of my or my dh childhood or older pictures from family members and two themes I just started "Favorite Pictures and/or Layouts and Dogs - since my kids are all grown and out of the house we take alot of silly pictures of our dogs!! The This is Us album is probably the closest I have to chronological....the other albums I don't worry about it that much.....much less stress . If I'd have started your system way back when - I might have continued it but now I don't worry about it.
Where do I find these folders? I loved this video. Thanks so much. My pictures are a complete mess. I need your help. I went on your store and couldn't find these folders.
You can find them in a special bundle here: www.craftsomejoy.com/scrapsomejoyshop/p/rainbow-dots-power-sort-photo-folder-bundle and they are also available individually!
Hi Lauren, i have a question about the epson printer and the setting you use to print your photos. i tried printing my pictures on luster pro and they are still not coming out so great, i am sure it is user error so any tips would be greatly appreciated. thank you for all you do.
QUESTION- I just watched on replay and thoroughly enjoyed your process which is very similar to what I’m already doing. My dilemma is how to know - just by looking through my digital photos on my phone or laptop - which photos I have already printed. Do you automatically print quarterly and keep track that way? If you print at home on the fly, how do you remember six months to a year or more from now that you printed certain photos? I need a system to flag the photos I’ve printed but maybe not yet scrapped. Help!

Great products, we are missing out in Canada, can we purchase a digital copy of your photo folder? ❤

I have the Epson photo scanner. Where within this process do you scan your photos? Before or after you put them into folders?
Hi, I've been watching your organisation of photos. Where can I get photo file from? The ones that photos are put in with comments?

Where do you get photo safe papers to make our own folders. The place where I ordered them 4 years ago doesn’t have the same thing paper.
How do I order the photo organizational box ?
