QOTD - Photos vs. Product - 09.29.15
When you scrap (for yourself and not for a CT assignment), do you pick photos first or product first? Have you always done it that way? Why or why not?

Photos! I keep a list of pages I need to get complete for my albums... so picking the pictures before the kit is best.

Photos first. Like Marla, I keep a list of stories I want to scrap.

photos always. Back when I used to scrap more frequently I actually would place my photos in templates to have that started and then wait until I was inspired with a kit to scrap with it

Products for me. When I see a kit I love, I think whether I could scrap something with it or not. It either inspires me or not. If I like the colors and the ellies/papers I go for it. However, most themed kits don't usually work for me as most of my photos are everyday shots with no special occasion.

Photos first!
But if I see a kit I love and know of a picture that could work I might scrap that way. And if I really love a kit I might dress my kids up in clothes that match said kit.

I go both ways. If I have photos already, I'm more likely to scrap with something I own rather than go shopping for a new kit. But if I see a unique kit, it could inspire me to make a page or remind me about a story.

When I scrap for myself I pick the photos first. I have a list of photos/events that I need to scrap. My goal is to try to use more of Cindy's Snapshot templates so I can get lots of photos on a page. I've been a one photo per layout scrapper for years!! I hope I can do it :P

It really depends. Most of the time I specifically buy certain kits for photos I already have in mind. but sometimes (especially when I seem to have a creative block), I will pick a kit that I really want to use and just make something and find pictures later (in fact I have 3 done and waiting for the perfect photo(s) right now LOL)... I find a lot of my better pages come from me just focusing on the kit first.

If it's just for me then photos get picked first but they won't get placed until the end (I always use templates).

Photos for me. I guess it comes from years of scrapping in chronologic order!

I swing both ways! Some photos I see, and it has me thinking I need this or that kind of kit. Some kits I see, fall in love with, and go out searching for the perfect picture for it!

It looks like I'm really in the minority! I very rarely pick the photo first.

Photos, though sometimes if I know there's a kit I bought a while back but haven't yet used I'll keep that in mind when I'm working out what photos to scrap, especially for a challenge.

It is a toss up for me. A lot of times I buy a kit with photos in mind so I will go through the kits on my hard drive and see which one is screaming to be used. Then I will use it and scrap the photos I already had in mind. Other times I start with photos. Honestly, I find I scrap MUCH faster if I start with the kits that I bought for specific photos. If I am just 'general' scrapping from my stash with nothing particular in mind I might change pictures/kits 5 times while trying to scrap one layout. When I buy a kit with pictures in mind and sit down to scrap using that kit and those pictures I can knock out a layout in 30 minutes or less. Otherwise plan on it taking me hours!

I pick photos first.
If I'm not making a CT page of Bingo page, I'm scrapping for my yearly album or vacation albums.

Photos first. So I would know if I have a kit for them or if I need to buy.
