Layout Kits...video tutorial

I am planning to attend a Swarm January 16th in Norman Oklahoma. The last one that Linda and I went to I didn't get a thing done! I was just sitting and looking at my stuff and wondering where to start. I was also really nosy on what others were doing, which kept me from working on my pile of "crap" on the table. This time I am determined to get something done! I have prepared a total of 3 two page layout kits and 4 one page layout kits to work on. I am hoping to get some more done before the Swarm so I have plenty to work on.

I made a short little video tutorial on how I put my kits together in case anyone is wondering how I do it.

    I always wondered about why go as far as making a kit, but now it make sense because you do your detailing at the crop. Great!!

  5. Great idea, Okie! I've never been to a crop or swarm. At first I thought you might be making LO kits to sell. Lol. Thanks for setting me straight.

  13. Wow, you are really ready to go. I usually just flag the magazines I am going to scrap lift from and get my paper together with the pictures. But then, I don't get much done either. Sometimes it's more about visiting and sharing. Thanks for the great video.

  18. Great idea. My friends and I go to a big crop twice a year and I never get anything done because I am so disorganized. I love this technique for getting all my items for my layout in one place so I can spend my time actually working on the layout instead of rummaging in my bag. Next crop is in March and I will certainly be prepared.
    Thanks

  19. Great ideas Okie!! I'm the same way... I visit way more than I scrapbook and end up not getting anything done! Of course, I have to bring everything but the kitchen sink with me too... you know... just in case I HAVE to have the purple zebra print brads for something!! LOL!

  20. OMG Tammy! I have some purple zebra brads! I wonder if I should take them! LOL

  21. I am glad to be in good company, I went to my first swarm in Sept. and didn't get many pages done. What I did accomplish was organizing my daughter's pictures (all 17 years worth!) so now I am organized (well, if I say it enough maybe I will be!!!). The idea of having a kit ready for the swarm - genius! I hope you get a lot done!
