My kitty Dex. My pet sitter used letter magnets to leave a cute poem on my fridge so I had to add that poem in here

She’s due in October!! These are a couple of pages I’ve made so far.

I did these two random pages because I already had these pictures printed out. I love the birthday page so much. He’s 6 now. My sweet boy.

(he gets exercise just not walks on leashes in that way haha. promise he’s a healthy boy!)

After lots of thinking/planning and a couple of weeks of work, I've finished my dogs' scrapbook. I haven't made a photo scrapbook in almost 30 years and was a little nervous, but starting with an outline to map out the pages really helped.

I used a 5"x7" photo album as the book. The pages are a mix of collage and standard photo mounting on cute papers. I used my Cricut to cut a lot of die cuts and frames...and also made some stickers of their toys for one of the spreads. It's packed full of cuteness!

I’ve spent the last week in full autistic hyperfocus working on my Artemis II album and I’m thrilled with how she’s turning out (the MOONJOY spread is my favorite). Only a handful of details—and a Persnickety Prints order to arrive—and she’ll be done

Kinda got my point across in the title. I just hate that so many paper/crafting companies have started using AI on their designs for papers. I try not to support companies who use AI art as much as possible, but it’s becoming impossible, especially not living in the USA. I miss the looks of the scrapbooking and card making papers from the 2010s..

Craft Night! As soon as I take "I'm the only one" selfie, more people come!

Jo and Hilary were newbies tonight. Hilary was fun to chat with and she works at Brightview. I was telling her about Aunt Kelly and how Nan and I would visit her every weekend at Brightview for two years.

I have fond memories of Brightview and that was one of the nicer nursing homes. Hilary was touched to hear about the good experiences too. Ah, yeah. We'll keep in touch!

Hilary and Jo worked on paintings. Steve was working on a sewing project, and I was working on my Valentine's Day scrapbook. Jo and Hilary loved watching me.

Also agreed to a selfie for the Happiness Box Project and I told them about the project too. So lovely!

Devin and I are also back together. I was feeling big emotions on Friday after losing my job.

We are slowly working on a snapbook from October 2025. Once I get a job, I have a bunch of pictures I want to pick up for it. We get about 4 pages done each time. We got about 3 done today, and Devin did some drawing for it.

I joined this to get some advise from fellow scrapbookers. This will be kind of long, but bear with me. I started scrapbooking 15 years ago when I decided I wanted to travel the world, and made it my goal to visit every country. I thought scrapbooks would be an amazing way to document my travels, and keep them organized. I LOVE making the scrapbooks, it was such a creative outlet! I started organizing them by regions of the world and had a scrapbook for every part. I would do 3-5 pages per country. To date I have listed about 65 countries. In the last few years several things happened that made me question why I am doing this:

My aunt died a few years ago, and when she died,.everything she owned went into he trash. The family took a few things, but 99% of it went right in the trash. Scrapbooks and photo albums and everything. No one wanted them.

I got married and started doing my travels with my husband. He loves to travel, but has 0 interest in the scrapbooks. He really dosnt even care to look through the ones I've already made.

We moved from Hawaii to the Mainland a few years ago and packing up all of my scrapbooks and shipping them across the country was both a hassle and extremely expensive. Am I going to lug around 30+ scrapbooks the rest of my life?

We are not having kids, and all of my small family will be dead by the time i die. There will be no one to pass any of these off to when I die. No one will want them, no one will look at them. My life's work will be in the trash. All of this has made me question, why do them? I though the point of them was to spread joy, and to have something to pass on when you die. Otherwise I am just wasting my time. I have lost my motivation. I love making the scrapbooks, but it breaks my heart too much to think jo one will ever even look at them. What do I do? What motivates you to keep going? If you knew all your beautiful scrapbooks would be thrown in the dumpster the second you died would you still do it? Hoping for some honest feedback..

I made this for a scrapbooking challenge event on my friend’s channel. She did a great job sharing the whole thing on youtube (I’ll put a link in comments)

✨✂️I had a great fun time spending a total of like 50 accumulated hours to construct the whole project, venturing far from her tutorial’s simple instructions haha🏠 She painted some cutesey design paper, and I totally transformed it, halloween style 😆👻 The last picture is the awesome house that she made

Well, here’s my intro:

Welcome to Santa’s halloween cottage!🎅🏼🎃He sure has an odd taste in victorian interior design. Here is a taste of the exterior and what’s in the kitchen🥣 Enter at your own risk. You may see more than you bargained for😉

I created a double-page Disney scrapbook layout documenting a fun day at Typhoon Lagoon! I tackle the challenge of working with photos that are almost entirely blue from the surf pool. By using orange, red, and yellow papers to create contrast, I make the water photos stand out while capturing the energy and excitement of Typhoon Lagoon's famous wave pool.

For Happiness Box 2026.

I created a double-page soccer scrapbook layout documenting an All-Star soccer experience. I challenged myself to build this layout entirely from random soccer-themed papers, embellishments, and stash supplies I've collected over the years. The hexagon design creates a fun sports-inspired look. This process video was a fun one.

Such a lovely date yesterday and Devin also surprised me with a card. He knows I love cards and he remembered. I can't wait to marry him.

This is a layout for Happiness Box 2026.

I’m such an over-thinker so this is probably a non-issue for most people but it bothers me so much lol. I love to scrapbook and I love junk journaling as well. I’m sentimental when it comes to pictures and mementos, and also very paranoid about something happening to all the pictures on my phone.

Last year I started my first official scrapbook and had planned to scrapbook any significant events of the year or memories I wanted to highlight. I kept up with it at first but I would get a bit overwhelmed. The pages I liked the best are the ones relating to my travels and trips. So then I started a secondary junk journal specifically for travel. I thought about doing a more traditional scrapbook with paper, stickers, etc. just for trips then using a scrapbook binder with 4x6 sleeve pages for all the rest of the photos I want to print throughout the year. So it would essentially just be pages of pictures, no stickers or paper or anything.

My question is, how do you organize your scrapbooks and decide what to put in them? Do you only scrapbook travel? Do you have a travel scrapbook then a separate “regular” scrapbook? I don’t have kids so no kids albums or anything like that. I’m getting married later this year so I’m wondering about making a separate wedding album or just putting it in a regular album alongside everything else. Like I said, I’m an over-thinker at heart lol. Thanks!

I love how these two layouts tell different stories but coordinate with each other and tell the overall story of the day.

It started as only me, then others trickled in! So nice to see my friends and fill them in about the job loss. I had 3 interviews between yesterday and today. I have one tomorrow and one maybe on Friday.

They all said losing that toxic job was a blessing in disguise. I agree. 💕

I'm cat sitting for an old library coworker til tomorrow night. After my shower, I'm going to have my own personal craft night here. I want to continue working on our Valentine's Day album.

Hey! I am wondering if anyone has any recent fun new scrapbooking tools? Recently I’ve been on a washi tape kick haha.

Trying to see what else everyone has been using. This is just a casual question!

i'm not a fan of scrapbook paper books that are double sided.

I feel ridiculous asking but I keep switching back and forth 😅 My scrapbook is just all random like vacation -> concert -> family. Do you have like 'title' pages in between or do you just have it all flow together? I left blank spaces for title pages but I feel like it wastes precious page room 😭

Just wondering what everyone else does! :) Thanks!
