This list does change somewhat depending on what I have planned for my pages, but it should help you get an idea on what to bring if you are going to a retreat for the first time. I file everything in an accordian file, and then over the weekend, I just pull supplies for each layout one at a time.īelow is a usual list of what I would pack for a retreat. Then I make a list of other things that I may need to look for like stickers for a specific theme that I don't already have. This also helps me to use all of the things that I've bought over the years! The other important thing, in my opinion, is the fact that if you have single page layouts of different events facing each other, it is important to coordinate them. Plus, remember that your photos (and journaling) are to be the stars of the page, not the fancy paper or embellishments.Īfter my photos are cropped and I have decided the sequence of my book, I start going through all of my collected scrapbook papers, embellishments, punches, etc. By looking at a photo you can decide on your focal point and crop the photo with straight edges, circles, ovals, etc. Generally you can figure out how you are going to crop your photos before your layouts are even started. I also take this opportunity to crop all of my photos. Documenting some events may take a single page, some a two-page layout, sometimes more. I bring them home and start figuring out my layouts. Most of my scrapbooks are done chronologically, so I'll print out a year's worth of photos at Walmart. However, I have created this post explaining what works for me at the request of a few friends.īefore I go to an event, I set a goal as to how much I want to get done. The way I organize or prepare for this kind of event may not work well for you.

I truely believe that everyone has their own organization style. But in order to accomplish a lot, you have to be organized, and below is a packing list to get you started. I don't feel guilty that I'm enjoying my crafts while I should be doing things like homework or housework as I would if I tried working at my dining room table. Usually I get a lot done at these events because there are no other distractions around. This will line them up almsot perfectly.I've been to a few scrapbooking events - some go all weekend, some are 12 hours on a Saturday. You may have to use tweezers or the Cricut spatula to hold if they don't separate right away from the drywall tape.

To adhere it, take your glue (I use the zip glue pen) and glue the back of the letters and then turn put it where you want on the layout and lift the drywall tape. Then you can put them to the layout right away or stick the whole thing on a pice of typing paper and take it to the crop (that is what I often do). If one letter gets out of alignment, put it back in the right place on the mat and lift it again. Put it over the letters while they are on the cricut mat and work up the edges with the spatula so they are in the same position on the draywall tape that they were on the Cricut mat. There is a trick to lining them up the same way - perfectly spaced and straight.īut a roll of drywall tape - I don't think anything else will work - it has the right amount of sticky. If you are using a Cricut the letters will be perfect in the mat. Fiskars makes a great clear ruler for scrapbooking - its in the scrapbook section at Michaels and several say they use clear plastic quilting rulers.
