Scrapbooking system day 2 - The Photos

Hello all, 

Today i'm sharing my process of selecting photos

I select photos from a stack of old photo albums

all the photos taken in the 90s are 3x5 instead of the 4x6 these days

I scan them on my Hp deskjet scanner

it fits 5 photos and i scan all 5 at one go, 

and cut them up on my photo manager 

I use Lightroom to add a little contrast and brighten things up a little

sometimes changing the white balance if the photo is too warm or too greenish

or turning some photos black and white because the composition is a little distracting

sometimes the photo is a little loud and i tone things down by decreasing the satuation

I print using my pretty little canon selphy 900

it's great as it has wireless printing 

and it print with lovely colours

it's convenient as i can go and see how many photos are they in an event

decide the size and the type of page protectors to use

and print them acording to size

Majority of them are in 4x6, while some are 3x4

I had shared a video of this darling printing some photos here on my instagram

So far, I have scanned and print all the photos i choosen up to 7years old

it's already about 200 photos

I dont want to scrap them all!

I want them documented but not all in the traditional layouts as that will mean i need to do about 80-100 layouts

Since I want to scrapbook my childhood chronologically

the next thing i do is I go ahead and spilt the photos into 5 piles

before 3 years old, 4 years old, 5 years old , 6 years old and 7 years old

Also, i have 2 piles of event photo

i went to the zoo and birdpark almost every year

so those i decide to scrap together instead of putting into the chronology

So then i started slotting things into the pocket pages

some important photos with big story get a page

my parents wedding photos are not printed yet

they will go here

I'm using a post it to remind myself

others which has lots of photos

goes into the Becky Higgins Project Life page protector

I will share till here

see you tomorrow :)
