January 2017 in Pockets

I'm still working on my weekly pocket layouts. This is my third year of digital pockets, and I haven't changed too much in my routine since I began. Every Saturday I collect my pictures from the week and stick them in one of my pocket templates. Then, when the mood strikes later on I add the decoration. This weekly discipline has also helped cut down on my need to instantly scrapbook a big trip. Since I've included a few favorite photos from our trip to Kenya, I know they won't be completely forgotten and can take it easy as I work on a more comprehensive scrap project for the trip.

I've finally uploaded my January layouts to the gallery and thought I'd share them here as well.

@Lynn: I'm a terrible journaler. I do try to include a little bit, although I often forget. If I do include it, it looks something like this: https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/marisa-lerin/gallery/2016-week-42b-october-layout-pocket-scrapping-project-life-daily-w...

Do you add journaling after printing, making it a hybrid page, or do you let the pictures do the talking? Just wondering :)

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
