I started scrapping to document our family’s memories, from our past travels to life events. I now enjoy creating pages for our grandson’s photo books. My son and daughter in law both very much enjoy the books I create for him, collecting little anecdotes and snippets from the precious moments I get to spend with him. It has also become a sort of a hobby. While doing the Month of Challenges last year and some challenges throughout the year, I discovered that I thoroughly enjoy creating less traditional (photo based) pages, and more in the art journaling style. It allows me to put on paper (so to speak!) thoughts and feelings I would not necessarily share otherwise. I have never had any artistic talent. I cannot draw or paint, I cannot sing, dance or act, so discovering that I could be creative, albeit via digital media, was quite thrilling. To be able to express the good and bad of a day through an art journaling page is extremely liberating. I like that there are no rules to follow. When I scrap a traditional page, I always have on the back of my mind that the page should be liked by others, but in art journaling the only person I need to please is myself. If I scrap the page for a challenge, of course I enjoy reading positive comments in the gallery, but most of these pages I do not share at all, and the only thing that matters is how it made me feel to create them.

      Art journaling is awesome! I say, create to hearts delight...even when making a "scrapbook" page. At the end of the day, do you like what you create? Yes? Green light.
