What is Layout A Day, also known as LOAD? It is a month long project with the Scrap Happy online group! Before I scare you away with the goal of the month, I have to tell you how much fun we have! Everybody needs to find their tribe, and if you like to take photos and create even more lasting memories, then ScrapHappy.org is for you! At least twice a year, we have a month long event where we strive to create one scrapbook page each day. Sometimes during the events I have been successful, sometimes not. However, no matter how many pages I complete, they are additional pages to add to our family’s memories!

It doesn’t matter whether you create paper pages, digital, or hybrid. I most often create digital pages, because I don’t have to even print out the photos first! Lazy? Maybe.

This month’s theme is Ruby Red Scissors, and is a play on a Wizard of Oz theme. Each day we receive a prompt (which you can use or not) to go with the theme. It is amazing how many stories you can remember by just receiving a  prompt!

The current LOAD also coincided with a Pixels 2 Pages virtual crop. Pixels 2 Pages provides training to use Artisan 5.  I have been learning Forever’s Artisan 5 digital software, and received so many tricks during the event. You have to have guessed I would use pages from the virtual crop for pages during the same days of LOAD!  Here was a quick page I altered a bit.

Later, I will take my digital pages, and print them. I haven’t quite decided if I will print out individual pages and put in albums I have, or if I will drop them into pages of a FOREVER photo book to have printed.  Oh the decisions!

Here was a quick page I received from the P2P crop. It only took a few minutes to personalize and complete.

Quick pages and templates can speed your work along!

If you like to save memories on pages, which do you prefer: paper, digital, hybrid, or photobooks?

Cheers to your Adventures!
