My February 2024 Digital Scrapbooking Update

By Marisa Lerin Wed, 03/20/2024 - 23:00

A little update about how my scrapbooking is going.

Digital Pocket Album
I'm thrilled to share that I'm embarking on my tenth year of creating a digital pocket album. It's become such an ingrained part of my routine that I hardly give it a second thought anymore—I simply keep moving forward. You can read about my digital pocket scrapping process here.

I love how using the pocket pages takes the stress out of scrapping important events. February included both Iona's birthday and my sister's wedding, and I already have the photos scrapped and in this year's album.

On This Day Journal
I like to go back in time and choose a picture from the current date, but in the past. I love revisiting these memories and keeping it limited to a day helps me focus.
