At long last, I'm finally sharing my scrapbook process! I'm so excited to share this album with you, as it's my very favorite way of memory keeping. I'd love to know if you're interested in more scrapbook videos, as well as how you feel about the timelapse format. I like to keep these videos feeling calm and unhurried, but I also know I tend to take my sweet time haha.

Some supplies I mentioned in the video:

I was exited when I saw your video, I enjoy hearing your thoughts about your process. I'm doing a digital Project Life style album for the first time this year, so having some inspiration is always helpful. I used to do the classic scrapbook albums with single or double page spreads (although in DIN A 4, not 12x12) for my everyday scrapbooking, but they use a lot of space on my shelves...
For my travel album ephemera I have some templates cut out of not-quite-see-through mylar in different pocket sizes (I use 4x6, 3x4 and 2x2) to determine which part of something I want to cut out, it looks a bit foggy, but I can easily determine if everything I want to be in the cut-out in the alignement I want. That could easily be done with packaging window plastic if you don't want to buy mylar, I had it from making my own stencils.
I use a similar idea like your sticker backing, but with swatch cards for wall paint from a home improvement store. I use them as colour accents (sometimes I punch out circles or stars, etc.), but if I can find some with fancy paint names, I use them as a background for photos or journaling. My local store carries a brand that has vertical postcard sized swatches with titles like "Fog in November", "Calm of the North", "Gentle Dew" and my favourite "Quiet Moment". Those are so much fun - and usually you get them for free (at least in Germany).
And yes, I would very much like to see more scrapbook videos.
