Scrap booking & journalling

I have pursued various crafts over the years and my current passion is scrapbooking and journaling.  With so many papers, photos, fabrics, lace and endless embellishments (the collection of which, in itself, is fascinating) constantly firing the imagination with unique ideas for creating and collaging, it could be called ‘artistic recycling’ sparking off endless inspiration!

Being primarily a texture abstract artist, I have discovered that certain techniques used in painting can be translated to scrapbooking, thus combining art and craft!

Journals do not have to be diaries for recording daily events.  They can be artworks in their own right, to perhaps add personal memorabilia or just as a fanciful, romantic record!  There are no limits or hard and fast rules to the craft- just the need to create!
