This month the Get It Scrapped creative team took on ways to capture stories before scrapbooking. Here’s my page:

Bon Appetite by Heather Awsumb | Supplies: Prix Fixe, Forever Young, Star Gazer, Day Trippers by One Little Bird; Cooked Element Pack, So Fine Element Pack, Gator Crossing Element Pack by Katie Pertiet; Sprinkles v 24 by Valerie Wibbens
For this page I told the story of an impromptu chili night that I hosted earlier this winter. I took a picture and shared it on Facebook with a comment about not knowing how to control the amount of chili I make. (Seriously, I always make a TON.) I didn’t take any pictures when people were at my house, so I then used the photo on my scrapbook page to document the event plus the little personality bit about always making too much chili. Other ways that I’ve captured stories that I’ve eventually used for scrapbooking include the blog, Story Swoop at Get It Scrapped (seriously, if you haven’t tried it you should!) and even putting the story into the caption field of the metadata when organizing my photos.
