Scrapbooking system day 5 - Page kits from Project Kits

Hands up if you reach a stage like me, where you practically cannot stick to one choice of paper or embellishment when you're working on your project. Hands down. 

Me too. I'm totally a person who keep looking for more options

That's the reason why I can only work with SEVERAL layouts at one time

I also call it batch tasking.

I seldom sit down with supplies for just one layout

Instead, I grab a few photos i wanna scrap and then pack a kit for that set of photos

then I go through the paper and pic out the suitable backgroud for each layout/photo

I then go through the embellishments and also match them to my layouts

I then lay some other pattern papers I want to use on the layouts

So at one time, I can have 2,3 4 or even 5 layouts in progress.

After matching them into potential page kits 

I start cutting the pattern paper into sizes 

I often have my pinterest board on my ipad mini

when i assemble the layout

for inspiration of where to place my embellishments and photos

After I place all the papers and embellishments in place

only then will I start pasting the papers down

Here is a view of how I get 3 layouts done in one sitting :)

I also start to pack page kit for my Childhood layouts

Sometimes the photo inspire the color combination of the page

other times the paper inspire the layout

that means sometimes I look at the photo and i thought of a paper that goes with it

while the other times i look at a paper and i'm reminded of a photo which is suitable for this layout

Dad feels like gray and blue

mum feels like red and pink :)

I hope you can give this batch tasking a try :)

It has been working so well for me lately

or you can try to pack page kits as well :)

It's fun!
