Catching Up
Life happens and you fall behind.
- I have been here SO many times.
- In fact, I fall behind in my visual storytelling and memory keeping from October to December EVERY year.
- It’s NOT ideal but it is just the way it goes.
- LIVE your life first and DOCUMENT later.
- And in all the years of experience in doing this project, I can tell you it is WORTH it.
How do you make the task less daunting?
- Let’s face it…It’s not an easy PROCESS.
- So many pages to CREATE can be a bit tedious not mention overwhelming.
- Though I love being able to RELIVE the memories as I document them.
- It’s a great way to FULLY appreciate a time in the year that is always a bit of a blur.
- The best advice is to keep it as SIMPLE as you can.
Ideas for simplification of the process.
- Establish the most meaningful STORIES of the month.
- Include ONLY the photos you really love.
- LIMIT your aA DigitalART to one ArtPlay Palette or Collection.
- Focus more on the photos and words and LESS on the artistry.
Notice how I….
- Did NOT use every photo I took, but selected the ones that best REPRESENT our family life.
- Add stories and anecdotes in note format to CONVEY the details without writing a novel.
- Chose one ArtPlay Palette that best coordinates with the COLOR in my images and make it work.
- Used the tools in Photoshop to RECOLOR the digital assets as needed.
- Added FEWER ArtsyPaint elements and embellishments to my digital scrapbooking layout design.
