Step by step process for selecting paper for scrapbooking | Day 3

[@cindyalberts3095]

Choosing paper takes me a year, year and a half. Then actually cutting the paper takes another lifetime. O dont even get me started on embellishments. Your tips are very, very helpful❤

[@JaymaMalme]

Awww, I definitely understand the struggle. Choosing paper and embellishing take the longest for me. I hope this helps speed things ip, though! You got this!

Loving this series and how you're going through each process in detail. So fun that you are doing this - and getting to see the "real life" behind the scenes of scrapbooking videos.

[@JaymaMalme]

Thanks so much! It’s been a lot of fun. Even though it’s a lot to record every day, I’m finding it easier in some ways and less daunting than finding time to create a full layout and then edit it and make sure everything is “perfect.” 😊

I’ve been using that Smarty Pants collection for a few years now as well. It really is a versatile set!

[@JaymaMalme]

It sure is! I wish I had more but luckily it was a big pack!

It was enlightening to see how you organize your stamps and paper packs. Reminds me I need to devote some of my craft budget for organizing supplies as well as time to use them. Thanks for a fun series! I'm learning so much!

[@JaymaMalme]

I’m so glad you are enjoying this! I really think that being organized helps you in the creative process too. 😊

When you put that composition notebook patterned paper back there I was like “yes that’s the one”! It’s fun to see each piece of this process coming together.

[@JaymaMalme]

I loved that pattern back there!! Glad you are enjoying 😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I am really enjoying watching your process. I feel like we are hanging out crafting together. When can we go for a coffee run? 😂

[@JaymaMalme]

Soon please!! 😍

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

You have such great ideas! Feel like you're in the room with me!

[@JaymaMalme]

Oh thank you! I’m learning from the best!

[@camillehardt4114]

Truly enjoying this series. It's always helpful to see how designers work. Thank you.

[@JaymaMalme]

Glad you are enjoying it!

[@louisebrislane6607]

I think that the three photos cut down might look good on thin black mats to lift them off the paper & I prefer the cork board at this stage as it fits the theme. Eg; many of us had cork boards where we would pin photos of the kids!! So I am looking forward to see what you end up doing!

[@ritalr15]

That background cardstock looks like a composition notebook. Love it. May I ask where u purchased it from?

[@JaymaMalme]

It’s so fun with the rainbow colors, right?! The paper pack is called Smarty Pants and was from Close to my Heart several years ago. CTMH went out of business (although this paper was already retired) but you may be able to find it online from someone selling it. Sorry I don’t have better news to find it!

[@19mookie19]

Enjoying this series. Thank you. Question. When you were looking for paper, you were flipping through hanging files with 12x12 paper in them. What are these drawers. I have one cropper hopper rolling file and need more room. Help!

[@JaymaMalme]

I got those from Michaels years ago, they may still have them as part of their cube system.

[@JaymaMalme]

This is the closest I found. Looks like they don’t have the big drawers anymore, it was part of this system. But this is similar to what I have my xmas paper in: www.michaels.com/product/16-white-modular-5-panel-cube-by-simply-tidy-10624092?michaelsStore=1610&inv=2

[@JaymaMalme]

Here’s one I just found in Amazon that looks even better! amzn.to/4e3Vc6b
