So now that you know a little about me I wanted to start my blog out with a confession. I am sure you have guessed by now that I love scrap booking. Today I was looking back through albums from about 8-9 years ago and I had to laugh out loud. My first pages are almost embarrassing, but I remember being so proud of them. Do any of you ever feel like this? I have a few pictures of some of my first pages. They are Blake, my oldest son, at the time the pages were created, he was just my boyfriend's 2 year old son, but now he is mine :)
So here it is. One of the first pages I made. it is a 12 x 12 layout of Baby Blake. This wasn't is bad as some of the other ones. And if your asking yourself yes, that is construction paper LOL and I did use decorative edge scissors. By the way, does anyone still use those? There is no rhyme or reason to this layout. I knew nothing about design principles. I just slapped some stickers that didn't match and called it a layout. And I was so proud of myself!
This a picture from what I like to call my "Lazy Scrapbook Days". I just used pre-made pages, 2 spots for 2 photos, no title, no embellishments. It was so boring, at least the construction paper scrapbook page looks fun right? By this time, had a 5 year old, a one year old, and a baby, I was just happy I was able to have time to take pictures let alone scrapbook them.
Fast forward several years and this is where I was last year. A big improvement if I do say so myself. I learned about shading, got a die cut machine, got real card stock, some stamps, and matching papers! I wonder how I will feel about this page in 8 years, but as of right now I still like it. Thanks for checking me out and I hope to see you back soon!
