The sketching out ideas technique has been a good one! Right now, I'm working on some of the pages that will reflect my life at IU, and more specifically in my sorority. It's really fun to kind of see what my brain wants it to look like, and then adjust it to make the page more realistic. It's hard to tell, but this page has four pictures, and the stuff in the middle says "ADPi Homecoming." I used stickers that I got as a present from my sorority, and got the letters that spell homecoming from a scrapbooking kit I purchased to help with my project.
Something cool that I think I'm going to do is bring my project home over break and try to teach my best friend how to create a scrapbook page. I told her about this project, and she really wanted to see it. It is cool to see that what I am doing is influencing others around me. Even though we don't have to post over break, I am planning on having a post just to show everyone what the results were. Who knows, maybe I'll use whatever Jenny (my friend) makes as inspiration!
The more I scrapbook and work on my project, the more fun I am having. I love just being able to create what I consider art. It may not be the most goregous thing, and would never wind up in an art museum, but it is something useful to me, and shows what kind of person I am.
I really like your idea and how well you are planning it out. I created a scrapbook for recruitment as well and I really did not enjoy it and it did not come together as well as i wanted it to, so i definitely understand why you would choose to do this.
