My Favourite things...


I did these pages a little while ago, but still like them! I wanted to show how Scrapbooking isn't only about photos, but about journalling about yourself. As you can see, there are no photos on this layout, only pics of favourite things. I've used rub ons a fair bit, as well as punches. I stamped the title and added lines to it. Note, for one of my favourite colours-purple, I used a paint swatch from Bunnings! These swatches are fabulous, also for the backgrounds on cards. They make pretty , inexpensive decor items! As you may have guessed, based on previous posts, I"m doing an album about me and my life. It is quite a journey, and one that my kids are really enjoying reading about.
Here's my challenge to you, start writing in a small notebook of memories you have as a child - try to keep it positive. Then write about your likes /dislikes in music, movies, food, countries, holidays etc. You are only limited by your imagination. Keep your notebook in your handbag for when you're stuck waiting for an appointment. Instead of feeling the frustration, put your time to good use and think back- it's a very liberating experience! It can also be a great time for healing to take place........
Anyway, enough philosophy for one day - enjoy your creations!
