Scrapbooking

I've recently followed in my mum and auntie's footsteps and have taken up scrapbooking as one of my many craft hobbies.

At the moment I'm just working on pages using monthly kits from Basic Grey, who's style and general aesthetic I really like.  As with cross stitch, a lot of the items available venture into naff and 'grannie' territory, so it's nice to come across companies such as Basic Grey who seem to cater for the people that don't want clowns, puppies and Bible verses to feature in their work...

Below are some photos from my work so far!

I'll have to take some more photos of my others pages and get them posted here soon.  I'm looking forward to having a lovely album full of my memories for 2012 :)

Fathers Day

Now that Fathers day has passed and my father has seen his card, I can show you! I followed a Basic Grey tutorial that was a bonus to the monthly scrapbook kit that I get from them each month. I think my dad liked it and I certainly enjoyed making it :)

 

My mum and my auntie do scrapbooking and I've recently jumped on the band wagon with them.  I find it really relaxing to do, and it's nice to sit down at something that's not digital, something you can touch.

Looking through photos to put onto my pages makes me appreciate the great things I've got to do in my life so far and the people I love #itscheesybutitstrue.
