(Australia)

I started scrapbooking around 1999/2000 after looking through a magazine article on scrapbooking and thought “this is for me”. As with most of us, I look back on my earlier attempts at scrapbooking and can see how much has changed (scrapping styles – my style) but in saying that I still love the memories that my older albums hold. I love the idea that I can have such a great creative outlet for myself and know that in the years to come my family will be able to enjoy the memories that I have kept for them. I love distressing and paint and generally getting messy on my layouts but I do love the pretties as well...the lace, the doilies and ribbons. I think I’ve created a “shabby” feel, so I’d like to think that my style is along that vintage/shabby line although describing “my style” has always been a challenge for me. I’ve tried my hand at a lot of different crafts over the years but since starting scrapbooking, these have taken a bit of a backseat and like most of us, I can’t imagine my life without it now.
