Why did you start scrapbooking and how did you get started?
I started scrapbooking just after I got married. I really wanted to create a pretty album and by chance heard about it on a TV program. I hopped onto the internet and ordered some products as I couldn’t find what I wanted here in Belgium. It started to become a serious hobby 5 years ago and I love it more and more each day. Not only does it immortalize our family’s stories, but it’s my therapy. A way to relax after a bustling day at work and caring for 4 kids.
What are the three products you can’t live without?
Hard question but I am a paper addict so the first would be pattern paper. Second: my cameo. I was reluctant to invest in a machine like this but I haven’t regretted it. Love it to bits! Third product must be ink or mist. I love white space but it must not be bare and splatters just add that extra detail I like.
Where do you scrapbook?
I am lucky to have my own office space. I am a full time teacher and I don’t have an office at school so I need lots of space for my books and you name it. I have managed to make a quarter of the room my scrap space. In the near future I plan on buying office furniture, I’ll probably tweak it around a bit but it suits me just fine.
What/who inspires you?
Everything can inspire me. I am kinda hooked on Pinterest and love pinning everything from interior design to advertisements. I love so many scrapbookers and there are too many to name here and they all inspire me one way or another. I love challenges and I am always on the look for something (technique, product, …). I love learning and anything that pushes me in a new direction is inspiration.
What is your favorite thing about scrapbooking?
My favorite thing about scrapbooking, other than recording our family stories, is that it has made me discover who I am. It has given me confidence and made me see that I can make pretty things. Scrapbooking has made me a stronger person and has enabled me to achieve other goals in completely different domains. I have met so many fabulous people over the years who I now call friends and that is why I love this hobby so much.
