I do try and stay (relatively) current, but every so often I stumble upon an older photo and what it means to me just has to be put down on paper. I also blog regularly, so I know those stories are preserved and I won't forget and can scrap them later. This art should be a form of therapy, not stress! :) I don’t scrap in order either – I totally follow Cathy Zielske’s philosophy that photo albums are there for a reason, and scrapbooking is for really telling stories that speak to you.

I can't believe the idea! How would I catch up all the years that I have missed. My children are teenagers, and I have so many historic photos.. I mean a whole suitcase full of family albums that date back to the 1800s. I have enough to scrap for my whole life now, even if I didn't download 1000 photos off my camera yesterday. (that's cause I like that multi shot mode) But you made me think of something interesting. I always worry about reusing stuff in the next page I do, and that is because I am thinking about the wrong thing when i am scrapping. I am thinking about the gallery not the album.. which of course brings me back to printing. Haven't printed a page in so long, but they opened a costco near us and I am hoping once they get it set up (i had to go in and ask for square formats - they told me that scrapbooking isn't big in Australia so they hadn't bothered)... so once they get it set up I must take in some pages to print. I plan on going this weekend, so maybe it is time to print for some albums! Cool idea. thanks Scrap in chronological order? I can’t believe the idea!

I would have given up this hobby years ago if I had to do everything in order. I like the change of pace from scrapping photos of my son from two weeks ago to Christmas in 1978. It all works out in the end. Right? I don’t scrap in order for all of the reasons that you listed. I would have given up this hobby years ago if I had to do everything in order.

It is so neat to hear how everyone approaches scrapping. I will say that I am totally impressed with those of you who can not only not scrap in order, but not put them in your albums in order! I commend you for not caring -- it would drive me batty! My biggest reason for putting them in my albums in order is because I don't think I would ever be able to find a specific layout! I almost never just hand my albums to a a person to look through but often when we have people over a conversation gets started and I can say, "Oh, I have a picture of that" and I know right where to go.

For the most part when I find a kit or graphic theme that's right for a photo, it's right for all the ones taken in the same moment or place. Albums are almost the only digitals that I print, aside from the cards. But I never scrap chronologically. My mind's all about my moods, so I scrap whatever I "feel" to relive or remember or taste again, and I don't perform very well following a schedule. Besides I have tons of vintage and old photos to scan, so chronological order is out of question. Like Julia I prefer to scrap in, short, albums/events/single story.

I still do some paper pages, so I feel like I'm good about printing pictures. I download my camera monthly (at least) and then sort through, upload and order prints quarterly.

Sometimes hindsight really is 20/20 and you might have a different story to tell because of that. I totally agree!
