Every Scrapbooker starts somewhere. When I started 8 years ago I used anything that was acid-free and available to me. On my first layout I used photos that were taken with a faulty setting on our camera after the birth of our first daughter, Nicole. I used stencils, a simple gel pen, decorative scissors and silouetting. I did not have a fancy paper trimmer and knew very little about scrapbooking. When I finished the layout I was so please with the way it turned out.
Sinice my first layout I have gone through various stages in scrapbooking. Part of the reason I keep scrapbooking is because there is always something new to try and I love to express myself artistically and through my journalling. I vowed very early on in my scrapbooking hobby that I would not look back once a layout was done. The way the layout is done and the love that was poured out into that layout is just as valid today as it was the day I created the layout, even if a thousand thoughts run through my head of how great it would look if I did it over again.
Each layout is a gift to my family and to future generations, done with love from my heart and soul.
