Hi there! Lisa here today to talk about one of my favorite personal projects; recycle a good design!
For two years (2012 and 2013) I had a personal scrapbooking challenge I called Re-Scrap. I wanted to make sure I did more layouts since I was in a rut. I decided to look back into my finsihed albums and pick out three older pages that I liked and use them as inspiration for three new ones each month. That way I knew I would atleast have 3 new pages done every month! I really like the challenge and as I said, did this for two straight years. That gave me 72 new scrapbook pages.
This project also made me more conscious of which stories I wanted to scrapbook. I don´t know why, maybe because I already had the design and could focus more on the actual stories.
We all have layouts we love a little extra, right? Well, here is an example:
This is one of my very favorite layout I have done. It maybe because it is a story about my late grandparents, but also becuase I love the design/layout of the page. I used this one to make these two next pages.
You can see that I used the overall design for this new page. But the design also let me to change things up a little too. I usually sketch the older layout out so that I can use that to make the new one.
This second layout was done just this month. Which means I recycled that old layout atleast 2 times! I mean that must be a good thing!
I am sure that you have a project that you can recycle!
