I find it frustrating to read scrapbooking magazines. The majority of the layouts are too fancy, feature just one photo and look like they took hours to create. I was beginning to think it was just me, but then I came across this post by Kim Guymon of ScrapBizness where she launches a Campaign for Real Scrapping.

Amongst other things she suggests we:

Focus on the photos
Crop conservatively - Grandma’s house in the background may be precious someday
Keep the page simple - don’t overwhelm the photos with embellishments

Count me in!
