I sat down at my craft table with the intention to actually create a layout, but that wasn't what happened. Everything was in such disarray around me (and directly on my table) that I had to do some sorting and organizing first. Since I recently decided that I'll do my Scotland and Iceland photos in a 6"x8" pocket page album, I made it my organizational focus to sort through the items that might work for that trip. I've included some photos that show how I grouped my items. I'm hoping that having them separated like this will help me find what I need when I'm actually scrapping.

So far, I've only done one complete layout with my Scotland photos. I finished it last week when I did a stash challenge; I wanted to see how much I could use of a specific set of items when I worked with a set of photos from Glasgow. If you're interested in how it all came together, you can watch the before and after videos here:
13) I worked on a layout from a trip to Universal in Florida last year. I had really looked forward to working on the photos of our hotel, as it had a very retro style. I found several papers and embellishments that had a similar style, so busting those out was very fun! 14) I came home from a weekend away to find a new set-up on my craft desk. It includes an adjustable lamp arm and a special clamp that holds my iPad for recording videos straight down at my desk. I tried it out pretty much right away; I'm pleased to say that I think it'll work well for me. 15) I posted a video on my YouTube channel. It was a flip-thru of my Seattle trip album from earlier this year. I did that album as a 6x8 pocket page album; I didn't want to do a full 12x12 album since I had been to Seattle before and did/saw a lot of the same things. In any case, the video equipment worked just the way I wanted it to, so I was pleased! 16) I di...
My most recent layout features photos from Paper Presentation in NYC. If you're a scrapper or card-marker that is going to NYC, this is the store for you! I went on a Sunday morning right when they opened; I was actually a bit early, but that allowed me some time to take pictures outside of the store and on the surrounding blocks before the store opened for the day. Once I was inside the building, it was a bit overwhelming. I had no idea just how big it was on the inside. It essentially has doors on both side of a city block, taking up all the space in between. There are sections for stationery, invitations, card-making, journals, scrapbooking, gift wrap, adult coloring ... really, any kind of project that involves paper would have supplies here. They have also some souvenirs available, as you can see from one of the photos here. I spent most of my time in the loose paper section (placed nearer to the card and invitation supplies) and then the...
My most recent layout is one that I made in a traveler's notebook insert. I took a history and photo walk last summer, and I've been slowly working my way through those photos. I'm still having a fab time scrapping my NYC photos, but I wanted to take a little break and challenge myself to work in a different size for a bit. This layout features a photo from Mickey's Diner, which is a famous spot in downtown St. Paul. If you've seen "The Mighty Ducks" movies or "Jingle All the Way", you've seen it before. I only got one good shot, as the second one was blurry, so I wanted to make sure that I did that one good photo justice. Since this is only a one-page layout, I really wanted the photo to stand out from the background. I used a patterned paper background that was fairly subtle, I added some washi to bring in the red elements, I continued the use of a cork number to designate the spot on the tour, and I chose to make my own journ...
