Hello, just back from a lovely respite from reality and thought I'd play around with some scrapbook pages. My favourite page size is 8-1/2 x 11 currently. It just works for me. A fellow demonstrator I follow on YouTube does a story and scrap series (Passionate about Scrapbooking, Pamela Blackwell) and she has inspired me to get the stuff out of my head and my phone and onto paper! I'm not the best scrapbooker out there and certainly not the calibre of some of those amazing crafters I see online but I'm happy with what I do and that's the important part! Just do what feels right for you! The photos are just sitting on my phone and scrapping is a great way to bring them out! I worry sometimes what will happen to everyone's memories when their phones die or new technology happens and they just disappear. I'm sure there's stuff I've forgotten about and will never come across again because it was on some piece of old technology. In the future, looking through albums maybe will bring back a smile or two.
Ok enough musing/ranting ... I had some fun creating these and using up some paper while doing it!
The Mini-Alphabet dies and the Painted Stripes stamp, Seaside Wishes stamps and dies, Friends of the Ocean stamps and dies are all Stampin' Up! The tag is also a retired SU! punch. I am trying to use up all my CTMH cardstock so this one uses Lagoon cardstock and Lagoon ink. Anything else is from my stash. I covered up hubbies face in case you are wondering what the yellow dots are, haha! I still have another couple of pages I want to do for this trip so you may see more but that'll be for another post. I'll add the journaling so I don't forget the memories!
