Do you scrap for process or is it to create something functional to look back on? ⠀ ⠀ I am itching to make a mini album but I can almost never find a mini album theme that I think I will want to frequently look back at? The only mini album I’ve ever completed and regularly flick through is this one documenting my 30th birthday (and I’m halfway through one about the cats - that’s getting some regular viewing). There are so many themes I could choose to make a mini album and what stops me? Scrapbookers guilt - would I really look at them very often? Is it a waste of materials/time/money and space storing completed books? ⠀ ⠀ Then I wonder if it really matters how often I’ll look at it, maybe it’s OK that it’s only purpose is to provide a creative outlet and some creative meditation? Thoughts? ⠀ ⠀ #scrapbook #scrapbooking #minialbum #scrapbookersguilt #makersgonnamake #creativeoutlet #memorykeeping #scrapbooklayout #papercraft #papercrafting #papercraftingaddict

Always wondering how to store my tiny bits and bobs and I’m so happy with my sequin storage. It’s fun to look at and I have 4 tubes worth - contemplating screwing all 4 together so I have one MASSIVE sequin tower!! Like a crafting lightsaber! . . . . . . . #scrapbooking #scrapbookstorage #craftstorage #craftroomorganization #craftroomstorage #sequins #sequinstorage

Today I am sharing a layout for @turtlecrafts using the July kit, which is currently on offer over on their website. This is a mental layout with a bit of mixed media and some crazy bright colours. . . . . . #scrapbook #scrapbooking #scrapbooklayout #memorykeeping #12x12layout #mixedmedia #turtlecrafts #turtlecrafts🐢 #scrapbookkit #kitclub #scrapbooksupplies

Still enjoying the mixed media and have been doing some @bigpictureclasses to learn some more techniques. This is pretty vibrant and I had lots of fun creating it! . . . . . . . . . #scrapbooking #scrapbook #scrapbooklayout #mixedmedia #mixedmedialayout #memorykeeping #makersgonnamake #creativehappylife #12x12layout #mixedmediascrapbooking

A few months ago I tried my hand at Coptic book binding, it was very satisfying and although it took a lot of concentration it felt like a form of creative meditation, this was my first book, it needs some fine tuning but it’s fun to branch out and try new crafts. . . . . . . #makersgonnamake #copticbookbinding #copticbook #copticstitchbinding #copticstitchbookbinding #craftinv #papercraft #getcrafty #creativehappylife #paigetaylorevans
