Scrapbooking on the Go

It's been so long since I posted! My dining room is currently completely trashed, though I do have a couple of new layouts to photograph and share.

But something is always coming up. Now, it's summer break. The kids are home and want me to keep them company outside. I can't scrap outside, because the papers will blow away, get splashed, dirty, whatever. What do you do at times like these? Put it off until you can devote your attention to it? Come up with small projects you can do outside while you keep an eye on the kids? Organize photos, create sketches, make small embellishments?

Please share your tips!

Camera envy? Tips for using a point and shoot camera from Photo.net

Photography and scrapbooking go hand-in-hand, don't they? I took a quickie photography course a few years ago and instantly found the quality of my photos improved. However, looking through the last batch of photos I had printed, I noticed that I'd been slacking.

So, I'm trying to refresh my memory and get back into working on maximizing light and composition in my photos. I only have a Kodak point and shoot right now, so I found this article particularly helpful and wanted to share it. So many articles out there are geared toward SLR owners that this was refreshing. I will share others as I find them.
