Slices of Life

 I had a very creative January!  I do find this is typically the time of year I have the most time to sit and create and play.  With all the new crafting supplies I got for Christmas I was excited to jump in and decided to try quite a few new cardmaking techniques.  I finished up all the scrapbook pages from our Tennessee trip last year and have already sorted my photos to get started on our Disney pages from August.  Cards: Double stencil technique My first big project using Copic markers! Trying a new technique using an essential glue pad and mica powders another new technique using emboss resist called "Joseph's coat" Scrapbook pages: Linking up with: Wednesday Link Party, 

 I have started and deleted this post a hundred times over the past few years.  When I started sharing photos of my scrapbooking pages on the blog I had so many questions about my scrapbooking and was asked to create a whole post dedicated to it... but I always flounder at how to answer these... what to include and not to.. so I decided to start a mini series about scrapbooking!  In today's post I'll give a quick overview of MY scrapbooking timeline and what I've done through the years and then I'll have some other posts with more details later on (I'm thinking 1 a month for a few months?).   When I started:  I started scrapbooking in 2001... my sister gave me a scrapbook she put together for my wedding shower and I just loved it and that inspired me to add pages into the back of her album of our actual wedding then I put a scrapbook together of our honeymoon.  My hobby just sort of took off from there!  A sample of some pages my sister made: Some of the pages I add
