Scrapbooking


I've recently got into scrapbooking, as I have now finished my time at college. I have no courseworks or revision work to focus on, therefore I now have time for myself. I've always liked being creative and making books, so I decided to make an on-going scrapbook, capturing events that I want to keep as memories. Below I have listed the essential equipment needed as well as displaying pages that are in my scrapbook to show my theme and layout. 


The scrapbook  is a 12 x 12 square size book available from Hobbycraft online and instore. They have a choice between white, black, red, blue and green in this size book, as well as a smaller version of a 6 x 6. They also provide background paper; I've been using the Bohemian 12 x 12 paper which is a country and floral theme. However they also offer a range of different patterns and themes. For the cover, I decided to simply opt for stickers which displayed my name. I used the gold metallic heart stickers outlined with a silver metallic pen . However you can accessorize it to your personal preference with buttonsassorted shapes or ribbon. Below I have put together a series of three images, displaying a few of my favourite pages, ranging from subtle simple designs to loud and vivid.
