By Marisa Lerin Thu, 07/08/2021 - 22:00

I love scrapbooking and I have a singular obsession with it. I am somewhat amazed that for the many years I've been doing it (over ten years digital scrapbooking and basically my whole life paper scrapbooking) I have not yet tired of it. In fact I think I love it even more today than I have in the past. Part of the reason for this is that in the last few years I've really been able to focus in on what I love and do more of it. What's helped me make this breakthrough was identifying certain myths that were informing what I thought I should be doing.

I have recently gotten really into using digital scrapbooking layout templates. Really what's happened is that I got a new iPad and it's really enjoyable to sit on the couch and make layouts, especially when most of the work is already done like it is with a template. This means I just have to pick a kit or bundle and stick the stuff in. It's such a fun time. People are often asking me to make more layout templates, and I'm starting to really understand their benefits. Again, it's just so much fun! And so easy!
