What To Do With Photos When You No Longer Scrapbook
Disclaimer: I'm not saying that I will never ever scrapbook again, just that the times will be few and far between....
So, there was a time when I printed every photo I took, and then faithfully scrapbooked every one. Then one day, I just stopped scrapbooking. But I continued to print photos, because I would eventually catch up, right?
Well, I didn't. And I'm not going to. Like ever.
This left me with a huge pile of photos spanning about 2008-2011. And I've been staring at those piles for a while. I may have stared at them 2 houses ago, packed them in boxes, and unpacked them again and again.
But no more! I cleaned those piles up finally.
And it was easy peasy!
I used a few Smash books (one is Michael's knockoff version of a Smash book). And I glued the photos randomly into the books. And I wrote a few words and guessed dates. When I was done, I filled 2 books, and started a 3rd.
But every so often, I would run across a photo that tugged on my heart, and that one got moved to a new pile (yes, I like to pile up items).
Now, that last pile of special pics, I taped them to a wall. I know, so fancy! I started a photo collage on a blank wall. Totally love it, and I have room to add more photos over time.
Do you realize that means that I decorated a blank wall for free.
FREE.
Photos + masking tape = happy mama!
Do you have a stack of photos waiting for a home? Have you ever tried those Smash books? Or have you tackled the problem another way? Do share!
