Me, Myself and I - Part 1

As much as i enjoy scrapbooking pictures of the people dearest to me, i also love scrapbooking pictures of myself.  As a child and a teenager, i have always been one to keep diaries and have spent many hours writing and drawing in them.  Now, apart from the occasional poem, i mainly choose to express myself through pretty papers and silk flowers, among so many other fabulous materials. This is only Part 1 of this post as i have lots more layouts of myself that i have to photograph again (for better quality pictures) so... more to come!

Life is Beautiful

The SEI Moravia collection is one of my all time favorites. I regret not buying a whole bunch of it to use for a future wedding album (yes, there is a wedding on the way!) or some other special project. I used a computer script font (i don't remember which one exactly) and WordArt in PowerPoint to create the title and a lot of patience to cut the outline by hand.  The layout was inspired by a design at Scrapbook Craze.

Once a Bridesmaid

I was very honoured to be my friend Denise's bridesmaid in 2008. The gold glittery stickers come from Dollarama which i wasn't sure i'd ever use, but i think they turned out great on this page. The big flowers were originally white, but i sprayed them with gold Glimmer Mist. Did i ever mention i LOVE Glimmer Mist!

Sublime

That is exactly the perfect word to describe the Bo Bunny Flutter Butter collection (another favorite of mine!)... SUBLIME!

Where Did the Time Go?

For this layout, i mix-matched different papers to go with some 3-D stickers i had found at the Dollarama (ah, Thank God for Dollarama! It keeps us scrapbookers from going completely "bankrupt"!). The word 'time' and the clock are chipboard that i painted, using Adirondack Paint Dabbers.

Life is Good

Another layout inspired by a design at Scrapbook Craze, this time, using the Basic Grey Origins collection.  The pictures were taken during a stroll at Daly Point, a nature reserve in my town, where little birdies come eat right out of your hand. It's a purely joyful experience, and has served as inspiration for my scrapbooking more than once!
