Here’s how……….Look at this very typical scenario…Does it remind you of anyone you know? Lisa, a busy Mom, wants to create a scrapbook of her baby’s first year. She is overwhelmed with all of her boxes, envelopes and baggies of photos, memorabilia, cute products she bought hoping she'll use them someday and all the new things in the stores that she wants to use. On multiple occasions she has attempted to sort her pictures in piles and envelopes, adding post-it notes (which always seem to fall off) and then her husband says she has to clear off the dining room table because he’s tired of eating on TV trays, she loses ground again and is so frustrated that she doesn't start again for months. She still buys new products and stashes them here and there because she knows that someday....she'll get organized.
Next, her friend Evie gives her 2 sets of the Croppin Companion to help her get started. This is what unfolds. As she grabs time here and there, she sorts through and separates her pictures into up to 16 events/themes and places them securely in their own pocket in the Croppin’ Companion. She also adds the memorabilia (i.e., hair from first hair cut, bracelet from the hospital, etc.) as she comes across it and her own personal notes about the event (the date, her feelings and anything else she doesn't want to forget). The next component would be to add the paper and embellishments to create the layout. So as she goes through her own supplies or purchases new products that she needs, she places them in the pockets that correspond with that theme. Now the next time she is able, she can pull out a sleeve which has everything in it that she needs (photos, memorabilia, eyelet cases, ribbon, stickers, cardstock, patterned paper, etc.) and start to scrapbook. If she doesn't finish, she places the layout back in the same sleeve and is completely prepared for her next opportunity to scrapbook. If she is going to a crop, she would have everything ready to go. She wouldn't waste time searching; rummaging and possibly re-buying things she already has but doesn’t know where they are. She wouldn't bring everything she has just in case she might need it, but she would go with 8 sleeves packed and organized with 16 prepared layouts and her tools. This is a scrapbookers dream come true!
