Redoing Travel Digital Scrapbooking Layouts

I've shared a couple posts of redone layouts (post 1, post 2) and they seem to elicit a lot interest, which I guess makes sense because who doesn't love a good before and after! So I thought I'd go ahead and share a few more.

I'm working through photos and layouts from when Jordan and I backpacked about 10 years ago. I did some digital scrapbooking at the time, but in a lot of cases there were various holes and now I'm not too impressed with my old layouts. So I've been redoing old layouts, as well as adding in new ones. I did not have my very organized system I recently came up with to actually get my layouts uploaded to this site when I made these layouts, but you can see the finished digital scrapbooking travel album here.

A lesson in making the background show the photos as the stars. The flower seller is stunning.

This is great! I find that I have favorite photos and as my style and skills improve and change over the years, so does my database of ever growing digi-scrapping kits!! So more often than not, I find a better suited kit/bundle for my older layouts.

@Claire: The kraft background uses a lot of items from the Good Day Collab. Although
I do tend to pull in a lot of random things when I'm scrapping. I download most of my graphics individually as I go. https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/marisa-lerin/kits/good-day-collaboration-bundle-spring-orange-yellow-green-blue-pink-gr...

it's really lovely to see the change in your style over time. When I look at the first set they look really nice but then the re-done ones are just are on a whole other level and just look very much like they have been done by the same person so your style shines through.

What kits did you use for them, especially the first one with the kraft background and the last but one with the green and pink background.

Congratulations Marisa, there is real progress, the new pages are really more beautiful than the old ones, great progress in the style, I like it a lot!

Love them, thank you for sharing! I have so many I'd like to go back and redo, especially the ones from when I first got started and didn't have decent software.

The redone pages have turned out stunning, so bright and vibrant! Nice!

@Becky: I hadn't really thought of it that way, but a lot of these pages I made before I even had a style, which is probably why I don't like them. They are from early enough in my digital scrapbooking career that I was doing a lot of scraplifting and trying to figure out what I was doing.

Becky Wooler Thu, 04/21/2022 - 06:18

It's really inspiring to see how you updated them, especially the pages where the layout was essentially the same but the newer papers and elements give it a fresh look. It's fun to see how your style has changed!

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
