I love scrapbooking. I have been doing it for years. I have piles of albums and I love them. The kids flip through them every now and then. But I am also very impatient. I want to do it but the little details, which look so amazing, frustrate me. So a lot of my pages are quite simple.
A few months ago I found a big photo album full of photos (I completely forget we had it). It is photos I clearly printed out to do stuff with because there are a few from our wedding, holidays and other adventures we have been on. On top of that I have a box of random photos. Some printed for scrapbooking but some from the kids schools.
I have set myself a challenge this year to get all the photos I have printed out scrapbooked!
I have already started and the aim is to get at least one page done a week until the photos are done. I am playing around with the idea of doing an album each for the kids because there are a few duplicate images (this is what happens when you don’t do what you planned to do, you forget about it and then plan it again).
I want to share my journey just because I enjoy it and I am sure there are a few other impatient scrapbookers out there!
I am not sure exactly how I am going to share them, maybe a mix of how to posts and images only.

My Junk Journal
I am not actually sure if Junk Journal is the right name for this because I don’t actually use “junk” but do use random stickers, papers etc to create these pages. It is so therapeutic because there is no real purpose or planning – you just create a page using the pretty things you have….

Scrapbooking: Memories at the Pool
Fun photos from time at the pool are always screaming to be scrapbooked and this was such a great holiday. I also wanted to try make a cut out using my Cricut and this was the perfect opportunity to give that a try. I made the title and the little splashes using my Cricut Joy…

Scrapbooking: This is Me
I have albums and albums of scrapbooking pages for my kids. I am, of course, in some of the images but I have no pages of just me. At Hobby-X earlier this month I found this pack called This is Me from Simple Stories. I eventually had time this weekend to get some pages done…

Scrapbooking: Yum! Ice Cream
This set from Bella Blvd – Panda & Popsicles was another Hobby-X find and I am loving it. Initially I had another photo of Emma in mind but was struggling to find it, when I saw these I knew it was the perfect set to use. This photo was taken about 8/9 years ago at…

Sunday Scrapbooking – Explore
This is part of my challenge to myself to get an album full of photos scrapbooked by the end of the year. I have been wanting to scrapbook this image of Kiara for ages. I can’t remember why she looks so sad in the first image but its super cute. I actually love both of…
