17th May - Scrapbooking

Today challenge is ...
Scrapbooking; as it was NSD a couple of weeks back it got us thinking all about scrapbooking how and when did you got into it? What do you love about it? etc. Create a layout about your scrapbooking.

Here is what the design team, including our three new members came up with!

Diana
I started scrapbooking in 1997 when my first son was born. I knew the minute I got pregnant that I wanted to document everything! I love the way it helps to keep all of my family memories alive and when I'm older and can't remember my children will be able to look back and know what we did and how we loved. My oldest is 23 now and I have a 21 and 18 year old but I still love scrapping all our memories and even getting some goofy photos in my albums.

Helen
I started scrapbooking in 2002 when my twins were just 17months old. I went to a Creative Memories party and fell in love with the whole idea of recording my memories, however the worst part was I had to wait a whole month before I received my supplies to start creating with. Now 18 years later, I still love creating scrapbook layouts and today's page showcases my very first and my latest page. 

Lori
I started scrapping 22 years ago after my sister bought me a Creating Keepsakes magazine. I fell in love with the pretty papers and loved the idea of documenting our story. Over the years scrapbooking has come to mean so much more to me. You can read the whole story over on my blog.

Maya
My scrapbooking journey started in 2013 when I visited the United States and my mom-in-law showed me her scrapbook collections. I was really amazed by the way she kept the photos and memories on the 12 x 12 pages with all the decoration. Immediately my crafting soul was inspired and I really wanted to know more about scrapbooking. This month's challenge is about scrapbooking, so I used my wedding photo with my scrapbook layouts. These pages on the photo are all the beautiful memories between me and my husband. 

Michelle

Hey everyone. I started scrapbooking in 2003 after being invited to a Stamping’ Up home party and haven’t looked back!! I decided to create a page about my love of scrapbooking. When I first started it was all about documenting events with double page layouts. Now it’s about the everyday photos that make me smile and being creative.

Rainny
I started dating with my husband 9 years ago and wanted to record all our memories, and also the good times with my family and friends. That's why I began scrapbooking. 
After so many years, I still enjoy the hand-made time and getting inspirations by participating different challenges.
Some good friends who like crafts and I meet up every month, and we craft together to make cards, scrapbooking layouts ,and etc. This party mode has been lasting more than 10 years. 
I am so lucky to have good friends like them, and hope we will keep crafting together until we are old.

I think everyone did a great job with this challenge, beautiful layouts!

If you join in please do link up your layout to the side bar by 14th June.

Happy Scrapping!
