Let's PREP! National Scrapbook Day 2023: 1 Paper Pad + 10 Scrapbook Layout Challenge!

~~~LINKS BELOW!~~~
May 6th is National/International Scrapbooking Day! To celebrate this awesome occasion, I will be hosting a MEGA KZbin Livestream featuring my 1 Paper Pad + 10 Layouts Challenge! During today's livestream, I am sharing the paper pad (from my stash) that I will be using for my projects along with my preliminary prep tasks and plans as I get ready to make 10 scrapbook layouts (and a few cards) LIVE on May 6th starting at 10:00 am CST in celebration of National/International Scrapbook Day!
Be sure to head to the Victoria Marie Blog for full details about this Livestream event! Links are provided below.
P R O D U C T: For this challenge, I am using the Park Lane - Vintage Chic 12x12 Paper Pad by Joann. If you are inspired to try this challenge, I highly recommend that you select a paper pad (any size) from your STASH versus buying a new paper pad! But...if you are interested in the paper pad that I am using, be sure to check product availability at www.joann.com.

Huge paper pad collection

[@TheJuleBoxStudios]

Oh girl! You inspire me!! I’ve been stuck in bed for 2 days ( my back is out) but I’ve been binge watching you!! Ty for sharing your amazing craft! Can I ask you, can you please share what you use and what’s your set up for your live streams? I would appreciate it so much!! Ty, Jules😊

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks! I appreciate that! I use ECAMM to livestream on KZbin. Also, I use both my laptop and iPhone...super simple set up!

[@TheJuleBoxStudios]

@@VictoriaMarieScraps Alright, I'll look into ECAMM. If you're ever in the mood to make a video on your set up I would love that! Just sayin' ☺ Thanks Victoria!

[@cherylsscrapbooking]

Watching replay! First time here from San Luis Valley Colorado! Came here from LilyPad blog hop!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Welcome! Thanks for watching the replay!

[@MigrayVelazquez-oz5kc]

First time ,hello from Puerto Rico

[@susanell7613]

I do a very similar process when I design layouts. Except I design them in Photoshop, takes the guesswork out of what size to print my photos. If I’m starting with a sketch I just drop the sketch on my file and can size it to 12x12. Also if I’m using a cut file I can size that to fit too. But yes, my process is very close to yours.

[@Staceyintampa]

I like the idea of this process and love systems and processes at WORK. Im a HR Director so everything is a process, a checklist, and ultra planned out and organized. But as soon as I wrap up work, I leave that behind to be totally spontaneous. Then I find being spontaneous leads to things I need to fix, like oh I didn't think about THAT! I did put together some kits though based on stories I want to tell and of course I have that die cut pack😂 looking forward to watching the live!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

I feel ya! I was a HR Manager years ago - lots of lists, process, etc. I also was a spontaneous scrapper (still am...occasionally). But when I work on large projects, I need my lists! LOL! I'm glad you will be joining me on May 6th!

[@ttopper972]

Hello Victoria, watching replay from Milton, ON. Working on a 50th album for my brother.

[@mindymammen5399]

Hey from Tx

[@Mrscrafthappy]

Loving your videos!

[@sandylandcrafter]

Just came across you on you tube.It's Friday night a little late to get ready for to tomarrow . I sure I'ii will use your ideas later. Thanks alot.

[@msdixie1972]

This is so much fun! Tfs! It’s refreshing to see a creator using her stash instead of inspiring me to shop!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

So glad you enjoy this!!!!

[@Stephh2425]

That colorful paper that looks like tile is actually a quilt design called Grandmother’s Flower Garden. The flowers are made by using the English paper piecing technique, which is a very long process of hand-sewing the hexagons into a flower shape, then connecting the flowers to create the quilt top, then pulling out all the papers used to shape the hexies. Very laborious, but also quite rewarding and meditative. 😁 Steph

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Very interesting!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@LauraJoyner-rq4pi]

I probably have 100 12 x 12 pads, 20-25 smaller pads. I'm addicted to 12 x 12's

[@carofratzscher3942]

Dear Viktoria, not only am I not buying the paper pad but I don’t even have any paper pads to be used up in my stash. Instead, since I am planning to scrap Easter photos I am combining the papers of a couple of spring/ Easter collections from my stash. This gives me matching embellishments and stickers right away. And I can use up some of my stash. I love the impulses and inspiration you’re giving me with this paper pad series. Lots of love from Germany, Carolin

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Absolutely! Paper collections, kits, leftover paper from other projects all work for this challenge. So glad you are inspired!

[@tammywisterman108]

I’m with you! Lots of collections but not any paper pads❤

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

@@tammywisterman108 You can totally use collections or kits for this challenge. :)

[@susanbenso]

Lots of 😊most 12x12-however many partials as I buy them when makes sense vs single papers. Use the pages I bought them for, then-lots of left overs

[@55Cyndi]

Amazing process! It works!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks so much!

[@Taitcreates639]

Can’t wait to see what you create.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks friend!

[@marygiuliano1891]

I just went to a crop last weekend. Brought multiple summery collection kits and scrapped our cuba trip randomly using those collections . Easy peasy

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

That's awesome!

[@SandraE_]

Just started watching the replay. I really like that paper pad and I have the die cut shapes so I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with these.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

That die cut pack is a gem! I almost passed it up...glad I didn't!

[@rhondaclark6506]

Love your outfit!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks!

[@tinameredith8548]

Awesome demo. I can see you make design choices that catch your eye. Whereas I sit here thinking “what?”. Can’t wait to see the final layouts.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

It's taken years of practice! LOL!

[@margaretpayne1361]

Watching replay. Had grandma duty❤

[@marygillmarten6758]

SO bummed I missed the live! Unfortunately, May 6 I will be at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival volunteering by womanizing the DC chapter of the Embroidery Guild of American booth (such bad planning). I'm hoping to get some page kits ready with the help of your prep guidance anyway.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Wow, that sounds interesting! Remember...all of my livestreams are recorded for replay so you can catch the recorded version at your leisure.

Welcome friend!

[@michelealston3920]

I have collection kits but very few paper pads

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

That will work, too!

[@tanyabarnes4899]

Where did you get your acrylic bins? I like those for my embellishments.

[@rhondalawler3446]

Hi ? I have trouble know what paper colours to put with what colour papers.

Hello: I am interested in the plastic folders you use to hold your kits. Can you tell me the name of those?

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Hello! I use these storage envelopes from Scrapbook.com - bit.ly/423jR53.

@@VictoriaMarieScraps thank you
