In a recent GG episode, Shimelle was creating a layout for her honeymoon and made a 12x12 traditional single page and used a divided protector for the second page of the layout. I was completely intrigued by this. I am working on an album for our Santa Barbara - Big Sur - Monterey coastline drive this past summer. There are just too many photos that I wanted to include but was at a loss on how to do it without 10+ photos on each layout. I had picked up a ton of the WRMK Albums Made Easy divided protectors by mistake. I went shopping at Target to get flu medicine and grabbed divided protectors instead of the regular 12x12 page protectors. Serendipity I guess.
Outside of the PL ladies, is anyone using this method for scrapping? I imagine this would help speed up the creation process a bit. I going for it. Now I just need some ideas...... Thanks!!! | |

Yup I am including a variety of page protectors now. It is working well for me. Especially as a way of finishing off albums | |

I am doing PL, but I am also going to do that style of scrapbook to scrapbook a ton of photos that we have from a couple of different zoos. I already have a bin full of kits, papers, card stock and embellishments in a zoo theme, so I am going to use that and the WRMK/BH sleeves to put it together.

I've done it a few times and plan to do more in the future.
For example, for a recent weeklong trip to visit my Gramdma:
-I went through all the pictures and printed the ones I wanted to include in our album - it was probably around 30 or so. No plans at this point, just the best pics that told the stories I wanted included.
-Over the past couple of months I have had the whole group in my recent photo files (I divide by date/event), and I have made 2 LOs from it.
-Last week, I went through the remaining pictures, chose pictures to make 2 more single page LOs (pictures that would be fun to scrap). The remaining 20 or so pictures are going to go into 2 divided page protectors. I'll be able to put 4-5 pictures per single side of a divided protector, which gives me a few spots for journaling and some embellishing.
I'll end up for four single page LOs, plus 2 (double-sided) divided page protectors, so it won't be too overwhelming in my yearly family album.
This works great for this kind of trip for me - we go to visit Grandma usually twice per year, and end up with similar-type pictures. So I don't feel pressure to scrap the same LOs every time, but I still get lots of pictures of DS and his great-Grandma along with plenty of journaling. Win-win for me!  |

I've been using divided page protectors for years. Life is busy and I don't have time to make traditional pages all the time. |

I have just bought several pkgs of divided protectors (different brands) to include more pix with a layout but I've found I may have to start taking 2 photos each time--one horizontal and one vertical--because I won't know which direction I will need or want to use. |
