The down side is, we are a bit inconsistent with posting.
That's the truth though isn't it? This is a hobby and we get to it and enjoy it when we need to or when we can. Want to hear another truth?
I have scrapped two pages since the start of May. I don't count the album I made for Ali Edwards' 31 Things class. Good, old fashioned regular pages - two since the beginning of May.
Sigh.
So, here is one of my pages. It relies on a quote from my daughter, this is one of my tried and true ways to kick start some journaling when the ideas are hard to find.
Scrapbooking is fun, but not when you feel as though you are behind or that you're not doing it properly - forget about all that stuff, it's a hobby! Just enjoy the process and the page and the story, all the rest doesn't matter one little bit.
See you when I see you.
PS Page design is my own, digital paper is from Oscraps.
I hear you, loud and clear... and I am loving these crisp clean pages of yours, with the simple lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon! I have finally come to the realisation that I can make templates that suit my style - and, now I feel as though I am scrapping like me, rather than someone else!
DeleteI try to remind myself of that often - it's a hobby.
ReplyDeleteI had similar thoughts today in a post about when the "right" time is to start working on a scrapbooking project - http://almostneverclever.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/our-anniversary-and-my-scrapbook/
A great post, thanks for sharing it with us - the right time is when you start .... because any time you get to yourself is good time if you ask me!
DeleteWhat a great quote! Too funny. I find that I do enjoy scrapping, as long as I keep it simple. I like to cross things off my to-do list. I've found enjoyment using my more creative, messy self in my art rather than my scrapbooks.

Hello Amy. I have found your blog through Clair and I just want to say WOW! I LOVE your daughter's eyes. It looks like 'butter wouldn't melt in her mouth' but after reading your post, I see that she is a 'proper little madam'! LOL. Soo cute is she. I used to foster children and one little girl used to take over an hour just to eat a tiny, crustless sandwich, so it was an early lunch start for her! TFS. ~Glen~
ReplyDeleteA beautiful design and a great story and quote. And I can't believe how huge your DD's eyes are. She is stunning ... I'm in the slow scrapping lane too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote! And how clever of you to capture it and record it for the future. It's that sort of stuff that I wish I'd scrapped when my daughter was little, but I didn't and there's no getting it back now (my memory is terrible!). I just have to make more of an effort to do better going forward.
