Scrapbooking's for (Big) Kids....
My mum used to make me 'scrapbook' every holiday when I was younger.
'You'll thank me when you're older!' she said.
Mothers are so wise, aren't they?!
Along with the galleries & museums I actually love visiting, revisiting those holiday diaries are something I've come to cherish.
Can I blame this fact on the piles of cinema butts, kitsch napkins and novelty badges that I seem to accumulate...on a daily basis?!
My friends laugh at my bulging wallet & incessant *need* to store my train tickets for *that collage* I'm going to be doing!
I attempted & failed to keep up with Project Life back in 2013-2014. I started out well, taking pictures of day-to-day events - hardly an effort when your hands are glued to a camera. But the organisation side got the better of me which just left me a bag full of...ahem, *treasure*
I was inspired to re-visit Project Life after reading Ashumi's goal to start scrapbooking this year as well.

Project Life is for anyone that loves looking back on their days, weeks & years, wanting to reminisce. For these types of projects, I love to add my own Ana-isms, so though I wouldn't actually opt for buying the Project Life scrapbook itself or its inserts, just looking at their layouts or designs is enough to work up anyone into a creative whirlwind of excitement & itching to get started!
A little bit late on the mark but have been gathering all my bits and pieces putting together for a bit of a scrapbook update. So partly to keep myself accountable, I thought I would share some tidbits!

Who said scrapbooking's only for kids?!
Until the next time,
