Return of a lousy blogger

Hi, a lousy blogger here.
Just when I thought: Yes, it's only one week left until x-mas holidays no more schoolwork the teachers overload you with new assignments. S I G H

About this week's Heroes episode: ELLE WILL COME BACK, I KNOW SHE WILL! Man there are so many people on the show now that makes me growl out of anger! (looool) And I can't watch Mohinder anymore, not if he doesn't cover himself. GOSH disgusting!

Quickly cut to the chase: X-mas present gift tip
As said I'm really into making all my x-mas presents this year. One of the ideas is the usual Scrapbooking.

Scrapbooks are way more fun and personal than the regular photo album. It's much more work indeed but it's much more appreciated. :)
I love scrapbooking because I love being creative and photographies. You might think there are so much stuff you need to get in order to make a scrapbook, and there are but not everything is necessary.

What you really need is:
-a photoalbum with paper pages
-photos
This is what you must have and the scrapbook could be very nice with cool black and white photos, creatice photo arrangements and funny texts. And why just use photographies, we live in a modern society. Print out pictures of celebs/clothes/things the person likes (the one you're making the scrapbook for)

I however suggest you to also get:
-stickers
-coloured papers
-photo corner stickers

I've also bought strings, figure puncher (blue thing on the top works like hole puncher)
And if you feel even more committed there tons of scrapbooking things you could buy; laces, handmade paper, buttons, design papers and so on. Check local bookstore and hobbystores. (in Malmö I'd recommend Panduro hobby and Matton)

I for example don't don't like to waste money on deisgnpaper and those fancy things, that's why I collect magazines in any kind. You'll find all sorts of patterns and stuff you could use.

Scrapbooking you could either play it up or play it down. I found these two samples on the net. They're both simple and pretty played down. There are also scrapbooks filled thousands of things on each page, which can be beautiful but I personally don't think you need so much sdtuff to make it beautiful. Less is more! :)



If you are tired of regular scrapbooking, why not try scrapcarding (??) XD.

GOOD LUCK!
