My first post! It's all about scrapbooking - an addictive, creative and fun outlet that's let me record life as we find it. The good, the bad and the ugly. I love taking photos on the run - hardly any are posed, so while they may not always be perfect, they do record the moment. And scrapbooking has become a way to preserve these memories for the future.
I've been scrapbooking for seven years now. At first, the idea of cutting up photos, of placing embellishments on photos and of stamping on photos was truly frightening. And seven years ago, the range of products to make scrapbooking an art was limited. Now, I can see on other blogs and websites the most amazing techniques used to enhance a page and preserve those photos.
I've been lucky to have layouts published in both Australian and New Zealand magazines. I've been on two design teams - in the past an on-line design team and just last year on the Elite Team for NZ Paper Chase. It's always a thrill to see a layout published in a magazine.
And finally, I've decided to enter the digital age and start this blog.
So, this is what I want this blog to be about. The art of scrapbooking. The techniques I may try and fail and those that work. It will be all about my journey in scrapbooking.
And if you do read this blog, please leave a comment. It will be truly appreciated.
