Scrapbooking Process: I am sharing a two-page layout and a bit of my scrapbooking process. I often get asked what my scrapbooking process is--how so I start with the paper and end up with pages. I am creating multiple pages for my February Simply Scrappin' workshop and I am sharing one of those along with my scrapbooking process. Be sure to check out all of the resources for inspiration listed below! I will be creating with the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper and I will be purposefully trying to create with a few "less" flowers and a more neutral layout. 8 of my 10 pages will be full on flowers but it's nice to create at least one layout in a series that is a little less theme specific.
