Here's the Story

Journaling:
In 2007 when my oldest daughter was born I came into contact with traditional scraping. However, this gave a lot of mess and despite the fact that I really liked it, the mess started to motivate me less. When Lorena was just a few months old I came through via via to babysites. There you could also create your own site for your baby / child in a fun, creative way. At one point I saw so many self-made backgrounds and other pictures that I wanted to know more about them. I took the plunge and asked one of the site owners who did. So I ended up at various scrap forums where you could learn to scrape without clutter, really ideal and exactly what I needed to be able to continue my scraping. I bought the Paint Shop Pro program so that I could start learning how to scrape, because something I would absolutely love is that I could make beautiful albums for my daughter. In addition, I was also expecting our second child. So that motivated them; fs even more to be able to express my creativity without clutter. You can stop when you want and continue when you want without actually having to clean up. The other great thing I discovered is that I got a very large online circle of friends. In the forums, But also later at the scrapbooking shops I came to. Now so many years later I have also created a number of best friends with whom I share all my layouts but also things from real life fun but also less fun. For me it has become a real exhaust valve to scrape and the children love to see their albums with photos. And not just standard, but really beautifully made with embellishments and really colors and themes that appeal to them. And with stories and videos that belong to the photos. This way they can see their memories in a living image. I already know that my 2 daughters have taken over my creative field and they are also starting to itch to scrape. So who knows, maybe in a while they'll scrape their own pictures, and then I can teach them all the tricks and show them all the fun forums and shops. For now, especially my eldest is occasionally scraping with paper and glue the way it all started for me .. I can't wait to teach her everything digitally.
