Scrapping on the Go

Over the years I've read tons of articles of women that have learned to scrapbook on the go. Whether they use apps, or fancy equipment, or just their camera, their albums were super easy and gorgeous.  And I've been totally intrigued by the concept for a while.  I tried it in England, and it didn't go too while.  I had high hopes, but I just couldn't get into the rhythm of it.  

That was of course before I discovered the Pic Tap Go and bought my handy dandy Selphy printer.  Both of these things make scrapping on vacation a breeze.  The process is a fairly easy one - one I sort of just discovered on my own, and one that's probably exactly how the women I've been reading about have been using.  

I take the pictures - which is a pretty important step of course.  Then I edit them using Pic Tap Go (if I haven't said it enough, if you take loads of photos on your phone this is the app for you.  It's so simple to use and makes the shots look so much better than before!)  Then, if they're the 3x4" size, I use PicFrame to combine 2 into a 4x6" size.  Then I use the handy dandy Canon app to print to my Selphy. 

Once I've got my photos, I add a few notes about the pictures, and then embellish with some themed journal cards I've brought with me in my kit. And if I don't have something to fill a space, I leave a note to self so I remember what I want to fill it with when I get home.  The kit isn't anything special.  Just a small plastic container filled with the essentials: scissors, mini paper trimmer, glue, stamp pad, a few stamp sets with block, a few pens, and the cards that match the theme of my trip. Then that's it.  In about an hour today, I had 6 pages complete with all the shots of my trip. Why have I waited this long to learn this?  Such a great concept that I'll definitely be using in the future - of course, I also now have a reason to buy the travel bag for my Selphy now too. Shopping and Scrapping - the best of both worlds!
