Creating a Scrapbook

I have been making a scrapbook of our holiday from last year. For me a scrapbook is about little things that I collect that remind me of holidays or exciting events. This is not the same as scrapbooking. It is mostly just sticking!

I like to get a nice notebook or album, ideally spiral bound, and stick my treasures in along with the odd piece of writing. These pages are from my summer holiday scrapbook of 1993.

I have been using a similar approach for my latest scrapbook, but adding some interesting lettering, something new I have been trying.

I have been really enjoying making this scrapbook and look forward to my next one which will hopefully be a bit different.

Bright Green Pinboard

I took a pot of tester paint and a pinboard I found in a charity shop for 30p and by combining the two ended up with this bright green pinboard. Perfect for my craft room.

Rainbow Ripple

I have managed to finish another long term project, this time it is my rainbow ripple blanket. I started it last May and selected happy, spring like colours. Just looking at this blanket makes me smile 🙂

Here is a close up so you can see the ripple better.
