[i think my scrapping hours are beginning to drive my boyfriend crazy. especially when i break out the old school eyelet placer]
Today i did it. I sent off my emails to Canadian Scrapbooker containing wonderfully re-sized pictures of some of my finest pages completed in the past little bit. It feels kind of cool actually - knowing that someone else will take a look at them, even if they only get as far as the person who opens the email! Who knows what will come of it!
In the meantime i started using my wickedly sweet cosmo cricket paper and rub-ons and elements for my new "happy days" album, which belongs to the summer of 2009. I'm making it with binder rings, so that i can expand when i run out of room, and it won't look like i didn't plan for that many pages. It's really exciting because it is going to be a mixture of a journal and a scrapbook -- lots of colour and memorabilia, but also lots of notes, and doodles, and pure reflections of me. My scrapbooking is changing the sense that it is not so much for other people to look at anymore, but for me, as out outlet of my thoughts and feelings and rediculous desire to document everything so i don't forget about the memories when i am older. Sometimes i find it hard to show my friends what i'm working on, because a lot of them don't do anything remotely close to this... so i happen to know that they think my obsession with paper is well, just plain weird!
I'll take pictures of the work-in-progress tonight and post them up tomorrow for sharing!
