Hi scrapbooking friends! Today I am kicking off a new series on my channel. I wanted to explore my scrappy journey and how I have evolved as a scrapbooker over the years. I thought I would share this exploration with all of you!
I wanted to start with the most obvious of evolutions, my personal style. I'm sure everyone can see this type of change in their own work. I first dabbled in scrapbooking in 2004 or 2005. I made an album for my husband about our life together. I had no idea where to start. One of my friends at the time brought me to our local Archivers to get some supplies. I was totally overwhelmed. I ended up leaving with very little.
I chose to do a fall layout. The photo is my children sitting with their pumpkins as we waited for the wagon to come pick us up from the pumpkin patch. I love the photo and wanted to highlight it. I also fell in love with the background paper. It is from a Recollections pack from Michaels. I think it is gorgeous! So those two elements were what I ended up basing my layout on. I chose to do a smaller grid with different sized squares to allow for more of the background to show. My only regret is that I wish I would have layered the squares a little more. But I really love how this turned out.
