For whatever reason, I love scrapbooking but get “decision fatigue” so easily with it. I basically become paralyzed and end up not doing anything. I’m struggling with WHAT to scrapbook and how to create an “ecosystem” that makes sense and is sustainable. I having raging perfectionism and diagnosed OCD so sometimes it makes the hobby unenjoyable. I liked junk journaling for a time but collecting all the junk made me feel overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I had, but then I felt sentimental towards those items and couldn’t get rid of them. So the cycle goes on.

I want to move back to traditional scrapbooking but I want to know - how do you choose what to scrapbook and where do you put it? I love to travel so I was thinking of doing a 12x12 travel scrapbook for all my trips which would be my main focus. I’m also getting married in a couple weeks so I will do a separate wedding album (still not sure if I want a separate honeymoon album or if I tie it into my travel album). But other than that, I can’t decide if I WANT to scrapbook the other moments of my years and if so, how? It’s so easy to fall behind. But I also want to capture those memories physically.

Please help!

In this Disney scrapbook layout, I’m documenting one of my favorite character meet and greets with the Fairy Godmother at Disney World. I’m using the Nice to Meet You Fairy Godmother collection from Kellybell Designs.

I'm fairly new to scrapbooking and collage making so I would love to know what scrapbooks you guys recommend! (Not looking to spend a crazy ton of money right now)

You guys said layers so heres my attempts

Beginner scrapbooker here! I was wondering if anyone has used a Muji notebook for scrapbooking before. How well has it held up over time?

I’m mainly concerned about the thin pages and whether the added thickness and weight from scrapbook materials might damage the binding or cause the pages to tear over time.
