a happy, simple blog..

Scrapbooking Rookie

May 7, 2007

I luuuuuuv beautiful, creative, and imaginative scrapbook pages (paper and digital). I admire people who can morph plain paper stocks into delightful pages with carefully cropped pictures decorated (okay, scrapbookers prefer the term, "embellished") with borders, trims, captions, eyelets, stickers, frames, and stamps. I've always wondered if I could also come up with a page, even just a simple one. So I tried paper scrapbooking, and I finished not only one, but four 12×12 friendship and vacation pages. Tadannnnn…..

Scrapbooking is so much fun. It's like playing with a lot of things (scissors, glue, buttons, stickers, trimmers and die-cutters, adhesives, markers and pens, paper punches, photo cormers, rubber stampers, paper crimpers, etcetera, etcetera). It is also like going to school learning a lot of jargons (acid-free, lignin-free, archival, brag book, cardstock, acid migration, de-acidification, hand tinting, page protectors, etcetera, etcetera). But I think the best thing about this hobby is the creative release that it provides. I am not an artistic person but after I put together those colorful papers and pictures and come up with my desired designs, it felt like I've done some obra maestra heheh. O, walang kokontra ha? :D .

Scrapbooking is one way of preserving photos and memories. Someday, I hope to enjoy the walks through my memories that scrapbooking allows me to take. I still have a long way to go before catching up with my photos. Marami pa kasi ang nakapila para gawan ko ng page design. I hope I'll have more time to scrapbook so I can come up with some more layouts soon. Saka, sana dumami ang money para may pambili ako ng maraming scrapbook supplies hehehe.
