I am trying to do a "Book of Us" which starts in 2016 for hubs and I; but then also kid books and family book.
I've been using prompts to push me through, but it really just depends on the mood of the day. If hubby is on night shift, I tend to get a lot more pages done and have more creative time. When he's on day shift, we tend to hang out and spend time together after work; so I do a page here or there after he goes to bed.
If I don't have a specific kit in mind, I'm more a photos/template/kit picker.
When I lay out my pages, I do photos on first, then papers, then elements and I usually shadow as I go. Journaling and titles are last; especially titles, I struggle with those THE most.

I love shopping and getting all the lovely new kits, but it can really be overwhelming to have SO many beautiful kits to choose from!!
I love the idea of a "Book of Us"!! I'd love to do that someday when I've finished the kids' scrapbooks finished!

Kiana, do you find it easier when using a CT kit or challenge, or is it easier for you just to do your own thing?

If its a CT page, kit first, then pick photos.
I currently scrap randomly.... unless its a vacation or special event.

When you start with your photos, do you try to pick a kit that matches them, or do you adjust the tone of the photos?
