This is a really hard question for scrapbookers. We want to not only hold on to every single photo ever taken, but we also want to scrap all of them! But is this really how we should be looking at our photos? Trust me, you don’t need to keep all of those photos. It’s time to get rid of the photo clutter with this advice from Photo Organizer Andi Willis of Good Life Organizing.

Niella used the Color Me Crafty collection from Doodlebug to create this adorable crafty themed mini album. The cover and each page are shaped like giant tickets and there’s a disc binding on the edges and fun dangling charm hanging on the spine. The cover has a cute stack of Polaroids accent and a layered scalloped border with button pattern paper.
Inside she used more crafty pattern papers, embellishments, stickers, cardstock, puffy words and more to designs wonderful pages that have lots of room for crafty photos and journaling.
There’s even a pocket to tuck in mementos and ephemera. I love the color scheme of this collection, it’s so bright and cheerful! This little album project is perfect for all your memories of going to scrapbooking classes, crops, conventions, retreats, hanging out crafting with friends or pics of your craft room.

I don’t scrap book but I certainly was very attached to my photos. Because I’m in my 60’s and I was an avid pictures taker I had an estimated 20,000 photos. Yup! That’s a lot.
In early 2020 when Covid started I decided to go through the photo albums, boxes and digital sources. It took 4 months but I now have my photos down to around 2000. I am so happy I did this because now I have my most loved photos only.
