Day 15: Bits and Pieces

Tonight I finished up the last two pages I'd been working on. I stamped "This scrapbook page completed by" (Stampin' Up!) onto some scrap cardstock and attached it to the back of each page, signed my name and dated it. I also listed the products used and the makers on the back of the page. If I ever need that information to enter a contest, etc., it is handy. I have a notebook I started, but I think this will actually work better as the information is right there on the page itself.

I always flip back through my kids' scrapbooks as I add pages, to get a feeling for how the book is flowing. I don't work in themes; I work chronologically. The first page in this scrapbook starts with a photo of Christmas 2008. However, when you turn that page, the next two are photos from March 2009. I kept thinking every time I flipped through that I really needed to find a way to make the 2009 date more evident, especially on those two pages. So, tonight, I took the time to add year stickers to both those pages. Luckily, I still have the same style stickers I'd used for the titles.

I also selected the papers for the next two pages of my daughter's scrapbook, and found a stamp that I want to use for one of the pages.

So, just bits and pieces tonight. No real project completed. A little finishing up. A little revamp. And a little planning ahead. But that's okay. My goal is to get in the scrapbook room each day this year and I have been doing that. It feels good.
