Ever since I got into scrapbooking, I always make sure to scrap my trips. Before, I would always take a journal with me on those trips, but I was never really conscious about using them. To be quite honest, I’d forget about them and simply take hundreds of photos instead, then maybe document my trip from memory once I got back home. But since becoming a scrapbooker, I’ve gotten much better at…

project life august – december 2014 and my plan for 2015
Read moreFirst I want to say that attempting Project Life in 2014 was hard but really fun. It was super difficult to keep up at a consistent flow, partly due to me not having enough time to sit down and make spreads and to me not really taking as many picture as I should. I also started my album in May, so it isn’t a full year. Also, I documented the month of…

project life june + july 2014
Read moreLately, I’ve been feeling like my mind is all over the place. Having not been home for a month–just a month!–so many things have piled up that need to get done. On top of that, there are so many other things I would like to get done just as the ideas for more things seem to pop into mind. For the last week, I’ve been writing and rewriting my To…

my completed diy mini book
Read moreRemember that mini book I was working on for National Scrapbook Day? Yes, that one. I finished it some time ago, don’t exactly remember when–my life has been a bit hectic as of late–but I did complete it. And it’s pretty. Seriously, it’s so different from what I usually create, I’m so surprised that I actually made this. I made this book in conjunction with Maggie Holmes’ Mini Book Workshop…

project life may 2014
Read moreI’ve been meaning to really try out Project Life. I love all the spreads I see on Studio Calico, a scrapbook site I’m on, but I don’t think I could dedicate myself to a 12×12 album for a year. It just seems way too big for me, plus I love the 6×8 binder size better. 6×8 just seems more practical in size for storage and at this point in my…

my DIY mini book and NSD 2014
Read moreGreetings! So, this past Saturday was National Scrapbooking Day and the scrapbook community banded together to create lovely memory keepers all day (or really all weekend because I know some people are still going!). Big Picture Classes held an event, #NSD10K, the goal being to flood Instagram with 10,000 scrapbook layouts, Project Life spreads, etc all from this weekend. This was my first time participating as I haven’t been involved…

my greek remains of the day junk journal
Read more If there’s one thing you need to know about me is that I love to make things. In the past year, art and crafts has become a mode of therapy of sorts for me. I’m always searching different lifestyle or scrapbooking blogs for what’s new or what other people are doing that is sort of scrapbooking, but just a different take on it. I personally don’t really scrapbook the…

project life october 2013
Read moreSo, I decided to give a go at Project Life. I’ve been meaning to try it out for a while now, but made up tons of excuses not to. One, the system itself is a bit expensive. What with buying a 12×12 binder, the clear journaling sheets, and a set of the journaling cards, the total price could come out to around $100 or more. I also was put off…

smashbooking my eurotrip 2012
Read moreI’ve always wanted to get into scrapbooking. It just seemed so fun from all the finished pages I’ve seen on various different blogs. I never really realized how time consuming scrapbook was; let alone expensive. You have to buy all of the embellishments then gather your pictures and papers and organized your layout with matching colors before you even begin to glue things down. People who scrapbook are way dedicated…
