Now it’s your turn to start your own adventure… your own This Is Why. Then when he does, I know that page is a real winner.Īnyway, you’ll see more of this book as the month rolls on! And I also like that he doesn’t automatically compliment every page I make. This is where I wanted to start: with the fact that I scrapbooked long before I met The Boy and in all honesty he sometimes doesn’t get my fascination with pretty paper, but he likes it because I like it. Yes, perhaps there is a bit of contradiction that on one hand I say I scrapbook for me and then the first reason highlighted in my book is ‘us’ rather than ‘me’! But all in good time. I haven’t punched any holes yet because I like to do that at the very end so I don’t make any mistakes I later regret! So I’m just keeping the journaling away from that edge of the page for now. I’m toying with some odd-shaped pages here and there, but for the moment, everything is rectangular and 5 by 6.5 inches. My pages are made of a mix of printed transparencies, chipboard and cardboard, which makes this book feel far more substantial than minis with cardstock pages. (And well, it’s even worse than that since I made an mini on this exact topic a few years back and feel the need to create an updated version!) I am not at all unaware of how over the top that may be. Like admitting that yes, this is a scrapbook about scrapbooking. I like starting even small albums with some sort of explanation. I also made a huge mess of my table but surely that’s its purpose, right? ![]() I’m not even letting that idea settle one bit: I started by picking out a big stack of papers I really love and then a basket of things I always mean to use but don’t. You know how we all love to save that special paper for something so special it never comes along? Embellishments too. Whenever I make a project that is very ‘of the moment’ and I’m writing my opinions as they are right now even though they will likely change, I love to echo that with products and techniques I’m currently loving. ![]() I hope your Friday was a fabulous one! So excited to share all the details today about how you can get involved in this creative adventure. What a crazy day it has been here! But all good in the end.
