Yesterday’s prompt was about how things change and I chose a story about how they change and stay the same. Then I read today’s LOAD prompt and it was about how things stay the same…so I sort of combined two into one! But of course, there’s always something to scrap and I immediately thought of [...] Continue reading »
Weekends are usually more family intensive, since everyone is home, but I was able to get some scrapbooking time after lunch. Today I decided to scrap some older photos from when I was in middle school or highschool. I don’t exactly remember the date, so will have to fill that in later. I went a [...] Continue reading »
Today I decided to create my layout earlier in the day, to try and avoid any papercrafting injuries late night! So far it’s going well and I’m quite happy with my simple little layout. The LOAD prompt was about reflecting who you are in both the past and present. I chose to use this photo [...] Continue reading »
My second layout for LOAD is about my favorite photo and I sort of cheated, putting several of my favorites featuring Vash. They are not perfect poses or even in focus, rather those crazy moments and blurry motion shots that I refused to delete. They remind me of special moments, even if the photo itself [...] Continue reading »
This month I’m participating in LOAD, which is to create a scrapbooking layout every day for the whole month. Today was about having good taste and I decided to create a page about my love for pizza. I did a bit of scraplifting for the design of a page I saw in the 2ps gallery because I [...] Continue reading »
This past weekend, I printed out an update of all the outfit-a-day photos I took of myself…2 weeks on one sheet of paper. It was nice to see it all together and the smaller size means that I don’t have to flinch too much – sometimes it’s just weird looking at yourself so much… I [...] Continue reading »
Although my interest in using pocket pages is waning, I still have some left and have been adding them into my albums over time. Maybe it’s just my lifestyle that doesn’t exactly produce perfect little bits and pieces to put into pockets…not sure. Still love the Project Life idea, just doesn’t exactly work for me. [...] Continue reading »
I finally tackled and finished one of the projects on my scrapbooking list of to dos this past week. I turned my not so minibook into regular scrapbook pages. It was a mistake to think I could fit a vacation into a minibook to begin with. I’ve realized that I personally want the big stories and chronology to [...] Continue reading »
First, let me apologize if you are sick of hearing about Project Life. It’s just everywhere these days and I can’t help but make comparison when it comes to my own scrapbooking… mostly because I’m searching for a system and routine. Scrapbookers like Ali Edwards and Cathy Zielske are sharing their albums online, giving Project Life a lot of credibility and [...] Continue reading »
I’m listening to the latest episode of Paperclipping Roundtable and very timely it is about “memory keeping” and how the term is ever so popular these days. When I wrote the last issue of my zine about scrapbooking, I definitely referred to memory, story and life keeping… a mix of terminology because I’m obviously finding it [...] Continue reading »
