SQOTD - Nov. 8th

After you create a LO, do you immediately put it in an album? If not, how do you store them?

I usually stack the layouts in a pile until its gets pretty high and then I put them away in albums.

All of my LO's are stored in 12 x 12 boxes....no albums yet. To my defense I just started scrappin'.

However I have about 4 boxes filled but I don't scrap in order therefore they are not in my albums yet.

That's my News Years Resolution to get my LO's in albums.

Most all of mine are in albums...I have quite a few lo's in varying degrees of completion & do want to transfer all my lo's to a different type of album...

I scrap out of order & like to put my layouts in an album right away. I use 3 ring albums which make it really easy.

Usually stacked until I get around to get them into albums!

Kristi....I should use 3 ring albums...would make my life easier

After I do a lyout, or other project, I display it on my shelf in my scrappy space for a while! If I really like it, it goes into a 3D frame in the dining room for a while!
After I take it down, it goes into a 12X12 storage bin for me to look at again..... and then into their respective scrapbook!

I've been trying to put them away once a week. Otherwise they just pile up.

I would usually put mine right into an album. But, at this point I really need some new ones...so they are stacking up.

I don't scrap n order either..some are in albums, but not in chronological order and the others are in a paper holder, separated by event (or child) till I get inspired to put them in an album.

I don't scrap in order but I do try to keep my albums in chronological order so until they reach their time to go in the album the coordinating pages are put into a page cover (back to back) and then I put then in pizza boxes (large size) and each pizza box is labeled for the album that the pages belong to.

Rochelle & I both use the canvas 3 rings by American crafts. We both love them. If you have a Michaels near you, you can pick them up with your 40% coupon. You can fit alot of layouts in them too.

Thanks Kristi...I do have a Michaels about 1 hour away, but it will be worth the trip.

Layouts are about the only thing I put away right away. As soon as I finish a page I take a photo of it and put it in an album. My albums are sorted by theme rather than chronological, and I don't care what order the pages are in within the album.
Having said that I haven't put away the very last page I did, as it's for my Disney album and I need to add more page protectors. I've filled 2 albums with 20 page protectors each, but only have a handful more layouts to do to finish this trip, so will wait until I'm done to take my albums apart and add more pages. I've decided to sub-divide this album by park, so need to finish the layouts to see exactly how many pages are going in each of the 2 albums. For now that page is in a 2-gallon ziploc, which is where I'll keep the remaining Disney layouts until I'm done.
