I started scrapbooking with CM in 2000. This is my kind of scrapbooking! I love the CM motto from back then: "simple pages, completed albums". I love the emphasis on the photos and journalling. If I feel like doing a 'fancy' or challenge page here and there I do but I really love having our family photos and stories in the beautiful CM, lie flat, photo safe albums! This video was just perfect!!! Thanks so much!
How refreshing!! This reminds me of the pages Cheryl Lightle used to share at Showcase. Love the focus on photos and Journaling!! 🥰 Simple Pages, Completed Albums 💙💙💙
Thank you for showing that scrapbook pages require only photos and journaling. This is the way I learned to scrapbook when Creative Memories was known as Shoebox to Showcase. Journaling is an embellishment in itself. I leave special page or title pages for the special effects.
Yes, if you have time for some fancy title pages or occasional special pages, they are definitely fun to make! I'm glad you like the simple pages too. DL
Thank you! I've been scrapbooking for years and like the simple method. All the UA-cam videos I've found so far have way more embellishments and papers than I want to use, plus a lot of stuff I don't have (inks, templates, etc.) I tend to use a little more embellishment than you did here but will be doing a scrapbook for my cousins and I'm going to follow this layout method. Thanks again for the idea!
Do you crop a lot of your 4x6 photos to fit so many on the page? I'm having a hard time and I wasn't sure if yours are slightly shaved to make them fit. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! What size pages are you using? The ones I use in the video measure 12”x12” not including the outside jeeping. So you should be able to get three 4x6 photos across the page. If you have original CM pages (prior to early 2000’s), then they may be slightly smaller than 12x12. Hope this helps! Visit adashofstory.com for more ideas and inspiration. 💙
I started scrapbooking in 1998. Your approach brings it back to the basics with emphasis on the photos and journaling. Well done!
Thank you for watching!

Aww thank you so much Sarah! I totally agree - having the pages lay flat is really nice. I'm glad you liked the video; thanks for watching!

Sweet! So glad it was helpful for you! 💙 Thank you for the comment.
Thanks for making simple impressive and "good enough" rather than feeling like it has to be complicated.
Thank you! It's always better than good enough when it is filled with your precious photos and memories! DL
I really appreciated this video, it gave me other options for my layouts. Thanks so much!
I’m so glad to hear it was helpful! Happy scrappin! DL 💙
I enjoyed your video. I like simpler pages as I feel the emphasis should be on the pictures not the extra paper or embellishments.
Thanks for watching!
Great tips! Thank you!
