All About Me-Scrapbook Challenge

Hi All

Something a bit different for you today. I don’t do much scrapbooking as I never seem to find the time, so I have joined a group that the lovely Gill has started which is to create a scrapbook page each month in order to make a book ‘All About Me’.

As you know, last year I got married and have wanted to start scrapbooking it for ages so that is where I started. I absolutely love sepia colours for pictures, hubby hates them so I thought in my scrapbook I would use sepia coloured pictures! I have used just some wedding papers/cream card that I have had in my box for a long time. I then bought from my local craft shop, a sheet of card which had some lovely quotes on about marriage which I cut up and used. In order to add a little journalling, I used a little pocket from my ‘Smash’ bits and bobs that I received a little while ago. Just finished it off then with a couple of heart shaped doilies and some little pearls. I really hope you like it! I was really pleased with the end result. Please be warned-picture overload in this post!SAM_1509SAM_1510SAM_1514SAM_1513We were also asked to decide on a title for our book and what book we are going to use. My title is simply going to be ‘All About Me’! My book is a bit of a saga……I thought I had a simple beige scrapbook that I could use……but can’t find it so am looking for an alternative! Currently bidding on one that looks like the one below so I am hoping that I win this one! If not then I will see if I can find one similar! I liked the little picture slots as I thought I could put in four little pics of me from four different times in my life. scrapbookHope this is all ok and that you will enjoy following me and my scrapbook over the next few months!

Thanks for looking.

Hugs

Arline, what a beautiful page to start with. I love the sepia colour of the photo and how the backing-paper and embellishments make it stand out.
