A few months ago I joined a Facebook group for beginner scrapbookers because one of the group leaders placed an order at my online store. We made a great connection and she invited me to join her group. I am so happy that I did because they are a fun group of crafters who are really open to share their journeys into scrapbooking.
A couple of weeks ago the group leaders started posting a Saturday layout challenge. Most of the weekends I don't participate because I am so busy making cards to post here on my blog. But this weekend I decided to join in because this sketch looked pretty fun:
Since lockdown and working from home happened around the same time I joined this scrapbooking group, I started taking walks in a forest that is pretty close to my apartment. i have watched spring arrive, then summer and now each day I enjoy the shade and coolness that this amazing forest provides on my walk. I am often 'wowed' with the paths I take, the different shades of green I walk by and how the sunlight filters through the branches. At times I stop and take a quick photo during my walks.
This weekend I realized that these kind of moments are what I will always treasure from living in The Hague. Years from now, no matter where I am living, I will remenber this forest fondly.
So why not scrapbook this to remember?
Digging through my crafting stash, I decided to create a page filled with the greens in my photos. I chose the Forever Fern bundle:
Along with the Forever Greenery paper:
The idea for my title came so easily, using the fabulous Playful Alphabet dies.
I also used the new Foam Adhesive Sheets when die-cutting my title so that they would pop up off my page.
Speaking of my page, here it is. I will add my journaling when I have a few quiet moments and time to think about what I want to say. If needed I will add another tag behind the first.
Do you scrapbook? If so, would you like to see more pages posted on my blog to give you inspiration. Please leave me a comment to let me know. I love hearing from you!
