Where do I put my scrapbook page?

Question

I am making 3 separate scrapbooks for 2006, 2007, and 2008...the question is where do I put my New Years Eve and New Years day pages? For example we took a trip to rides dirtbikes for New Years Eve and New Years Day in 2006 (which obviously continued into 2007 when the clock struck midnight), so do I put those pages in the 2006 or 2007 scrapbook? Is it the end or the beginning? What if it is all one trip?

Answer 1

Why not put the New Year's Eve in 2006 and the New Year's Day in 2007.  Not only is it where they 'go' if you're sticking to chronological breaks, but it also lends a through-line to your albums.  Life doesn't have logical breaks or stop from day to day.  Having one event or series of events cross from one album to the next shows that your life is progressing even as time is passing.

HTH!  :-)

Answer 2

I agree. Put the New Year's eve in 2006, & New Years day in 2007. That makes the person who is looking at your book, want to continue seeing your adventure in the next book. Kinda like reading a GOOD book, you don't want to put it down......they will be interest in the next album to continue the story.

Answer 3

It actually depends soley on what you like. The idea of putting new years eve in 2006 and new years day in 2007 is a great way to have two albums flow right into each other.

The other option is to put all of the New Years activities into that years album. So even if you had a party on New Years eve 2006, you might just include the whole section in 2007 so that everything is together.

A whole different idea that nobody else mentioned was to create a holiday album of some kind and then it can just flow and it won't matter if it was 2006 or 2007 because you would be putting pages in order of how they happened.

I really do hope this helps :)

Answer 4

I agree, put New Year's Eve in 2006 and Day in 2007.

If you really want them together, take the finished New Year's Day pages to a copy store and have them copy it for you. The copies can go with the Eve pictures and that way you  will have the Eve and Day pictures together.

You can also do the same with the Eve pictures, copy them and put the copies with the original Day pictures. So, you will have original New Year's Eve 2006 and copy New Year's Day 2007 at the end of the book. The 2007 book will start with a copy of New Year's Eve 2006 and the original 2007.

Have fun!
