Little Valentines – Packet of Hearts, Candy, Chocolate

My husband and I never really celebrate Valentine’s Day with big gestures or all the commercial stuff. We think it’s just that, an overblown commercial holiday. That said, I think it’s fine to celebrate in whatever way you see fit…because it’s good to express your love! Hopefully you do it all yearlong…but I totally understand that [...] Continue reading »

Outfits Update and Scrapping Photos

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 »

Scrapbook Pocket Pages

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 »

Never Meant To Be A Minibook

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 »

A New Design for BackToPaper

If you haven’t already noticed, I’ve updated my blog design. Everything is much cleaner, with more white space and most important – all the coding behind it is organized! This means faster loading and easier updates for me…whew! I still have some pages to add in and working on the footer area to connect to [...] Continue reading »

Plain Ol’ Scrapbooking (and a redesign)

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 »

Memory, Story, Life – Keeping

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 »

My 2011 December Daily

Although I fell behind on my December Daily for 2011, I’m still happy to have created the album to begin with. I took photos throughout the holidays, so finally went ahead with organization, printing and adding into my album. Unfortunately, I sort of forgot what happened in the final week and actually made a huge [...] Continue reading »

The Digistamp Club Newsletter Update

You might have already received the update in my Digistamp Club newsletter email, but let me attempt to provide a more concise update…for those of you reading and for my own clarification purposes. The short version is that I’m looking for a sustainable plan for my digital stamp designs, so the newsletter is on hiatus – but [...] Continue reading »

outfit for 15 gennaio 2012

I’m realizing that all these outfit posts might be a bit annoying. Although it’s part of my scrapbooking process, I’ve only been showing the digital part so far on a daily basis. I think moving forward, I’ll just do an update each week on how I’m incorporating these images into my scrapbook (i’m interested to [...] Continue reading »
