…Power Planning

Strangely enough, power planning a layout (for a crop) is something I do well. Strangely- given the normal state of unplannedness that I prefer for my everyday outside-of-work life. There are entire articles out there on how to power plan a layout in readiness for a crop or event when you won’t have all your tools or your space before you. Power Planning is also recommended when you are facing a shortness of time at home, and want to be able to just sprint to your desk and get on with it.

The problem with power planning is that once you’ve designed the layout, selected the papers and cardstock, embellishments and photographs (in the wrong order, here), and you’ve probably realised you won’t have access to a computer or a printer where you’re going -so you better journal out all that writing you had to do on the layout - to make sure you’ve got the font-size okay to fit on the layout - and hey, might as well print it out - ready for the layout, and then pack all that stuff into the baggie bag, and hey presto it’s all power planned, mam. (Deep breath)

So, all you’ve got to do now is take your adhesive and stick it all down. Now where’s the fun in that? You’ve just created an entire layout (bar the sticking) and why didn’t you put it all together anyway?

So - my power planned pages end up being re-planned when I get home. ‘Cause I want the fun of actually designing it.
