This holiday, I did something which I had always wanted to try but never had the chance to - scrapbooking. It was meant to be a gift. There were 2 types of scrapbook I had in mind actually. One's literally formed out of scraps and papers with photos binded together. Another's in an already-binded book with black pages filled with photos and words and maybe some decoration. When friends and I first discussed over emails and smses, I thought it was the latter. However, in a turn of events, it's the former choice. I was naturally VERY ecstatic cause that's the type of scrapbooking which I really wanted to learn.
My love for scrapbook started about 3 years back when I was at Liang Court and I bumped into Made With Love. Soon, it moved to Plaza Singapura and became the largest scrapbook store in Singapore. I was so intrigued by how the little details were put into a design for just one photo. Wanted very much to sign up for the course but time and money were always an issue that goes hand in hand. *smile*
Anyway, the past few days, I have been experimenting with the scraps I have at home and I think, I am seriously addicted to scrapping. Hee... What I enjoy more is the process of improvement. When I did the 1st 2 pieces, it was REALLY yucky. However, along the way, I seek improvement, I searched the web for ideas, for tips, for tricks, etc. There are really beautiful projects that's done by others.
After 3 days, I'm done with my mini-project. Totally satisfied and totally addicted. It was very destressing. After 3 days, I found out another thing about myself - I can be quite an extreme. I can stay in my room, be totally quiet (and I mean REALLY quiet) with music and I am happy with my craft work. On the other hand, I love to be outside in the wind doing sports and being noisy.
And oh... I tried to do digi-scrapping too. My family... :)
