Today I thought I would share with you some of the way I start out a scrapbook page. My mom has always asked, how do you decide what picture to do? What makes you pick the colors you pick? You know stuff like that. So today I thought I would share with you a little bit of my process and how I start out a layout project...
First thing I learned was...Do not scrap in chronological order. Pick a picture that inspires you...So for example the next layout I'm working on is with this picture....I love this picture of Ethan and his grandparents.

Sorry about the glare :) |
Next I start looking through my cardstock and I pick colors that I want to use as photo mats, titles, accents...
Then I move on to some other pattern paper that I think might coordinate with my main focal color pattern paper. Since I went with a black and white picture I pulled in more black and white (really off-white) colors.
Slowly I start pulling out supplies that I think I may want to use somewhere on my layout.
Like Punches...
embellishments and stamps...
I don't always use what I pick and sometimes I pick something different as I'm working...
As I start to work on this layout I will snap more pictures and show you more of the process. Thats all for today, I hope you enjoy the day.
Hugs and happy scrapping :)
