Natalie's Book Of Me

Over the last 12 months, I have been teaching a class once a month called The Book Of Me.
This has been such a wonderful class to teach as each month, as a group, we decide what the topic for the following month will be and we are creating pages about ourselves for a change rather than our kids!

We have created a 9x9 album of double pages that are personal, creative and have a huge amount of meaning.

Every page that I created shows Scrapware in many ways, shapes and forms.
I love the idea of being able to cut and alter chipboard to suit my pages.
I have embossed, misted, inked and painted the chipboard to suit it's need on the page.
