start scrapbooking

I have to start a scrapbook for Izzie. I want her to have something to look back on, memories, and to know how loved she is.

I have brought myself a Travel diary, which is really a scapbook, which I intend to put all my photos, tickets, little snippets etc!

I’ve decided to back pack next year, so I’ll be taking a travel diary with me… I’ve decided to make this my scrap book hobby!

finally started scrapbooking and I loved it although I’ve only done digi scrapbooking not traditional scrapbooking because it is a bit time consuming and I don’t like to use all my patterned papers up! :p ….but it was a great fun to do – I Made a minibook for my friend’s birthday and she loved it!

The thing I have to tackle now is to scrapbook my own photos which I find really hard to even start! but when I’m doing it for others it is easier to scrapbook! very odd!!!

I have tried this a time or two in the past. I have bought a few things here and there and can be very creative if I take my time and try.

I found a magazine last night that teaches how to make cards. Very creative, cute kind of cards and next to it was a scrapbooking magazine. I thought it would be fun to try and combine the two and make really, really cool photo albums.

I may invest in some cute scissors (that make cute edges) and a few other things and take some time this summer and start.

It is very time consuming. I think that is one reason that I don’t really do it, but it is something that I enjoy. I don’t take too much time for that, but I am trying.

I am trying to find interests that I have, hobbies and really do them, enjoy them.

I am trying to find myself a personal space in this house so that I can do the things I want and have some space!

For so long I’ve wanted to make a personal, creative scrapbook starting when I was a baby and going until my graduation. It took soo long and cost quite a bit of money, but I wanted to to be perfect and have lots of stickers/different pages etc. I’m so happy I did this now. Instead of having 100s of loose photos I now have a nice book where I can keep them forever. I have created a book for the year of 2007 now and plan to make one for this year, 2008, and all of my adventures!

Before Christmas, I was determined to make a scrapbook for my sister. She lost all her photos in a fire. I wasn’t satisfied with the way some of the pages turned out, but very happy with others. I guess my perfectionism was what kept me paralyzed over this so long.
At last I got enough done to give it to her. Really felt good.

i have bought a bunch of scrapbooking supplies, long ago, but it all sits in a pretty box untouched..

I’d like to make keepsakes for Saffron.

I just need to do it!
