My Layouts

Hi, thanks for stopping by. I made this blog so you can see my scrapbook layout creations. I love to share this with you and maybe you get an idea for your own pages or as a gift to someone special. I love crafting, especially scrapbooking. I've been doing this for years. Even when I was a kid, I always find something pretty and use it for crafting. It could be just a glossy magazine ad and I will cut and paste and use as my book cover or make a file folder out of it. I've used found objects and used them as elements for my crafting. There are so many possiblities, just have to imagine and create.

My love for scrapbooking started in late 90's. (Wow, that's a long, long time ago!). Back then, the only supplies I can get I had to buy at Hallmark Store and they used to have packaged paper in 8x8 and just attach the photos. The choices for paper were so limited but I was happy back then that you can create memory books and decorate them with stickers and cut-up papers.

Now years gone by, I've collected thousands of papers. I've created numerous albums. Up to this day, I visit and shop for more scrapbook papers. I love using vintage style papers and embellishments. I especially love the shabby chic theme. I've collected vintage findings, Victorian postcards and trade cards, antique photos, vintage valentine cards. I like to incorporate them with my layouts. It kinda bring history to a page no matter what theme it is. If I had to chose an era to live, I would've picked the Victorian era (BUT...with today's technology and medical advancement).

Thank you for stopping by and please check out the pictures. I am selling a couple of pages at my shop on etsy.com. Pls. see the side bar it will direct you to my shop or just click below. I would be adding more photos so check back again.
