Photography

One of my favorite things to do is to take photos. I love to take pictures of everything from family and friends to my pet cat to just random things that I find pretty or interesting.


By no means am I that skilled at photography, although I did take a photography class in high school. I learned how to develop my own film and everything, which I do not do now. It is so much easier to just hook my digital camera up to my printer and select the photos that I want to print than it is to develop my own film.


I really wish I were more creative when it came to taking pictures. Some people just see something and they are like WOW that will make a great picture and it turns out AMAZING. One thing that I want to do is to make sure I take my camera everywhere. Several times lately I have been out and thought man I would love to take a pic of that, but can't because I left my camera at home. At the moment my camera is a little temperamental, so I need to save up for a new one.


I love taking photos, because I love to use them when I scrapbook. The more photo options I have the better I feel about the quality of my scrapbooks.

Do you enjoy photography? of scrapbooking?

Colors of Scrapbooking

One hobby that brings me happiness is scrapbooking and with spring just starting there will be a lot of pretty animals and flowers to take pictures of. I love taking pictures of friends, family, and pretty things and using them to make scrapbooks. Scrapbooking is an immensely enjoyable activity to do by myself or with my friends.
There are so many cute and colorful scrapbooking supplies out there that sometimes it is hard to decide which items I should buy now and which I should buy later. I like to start by buying my paper first that way I have my color scheme for any scrapbook or occasion already chosen. Normally I go with greens and blues, because green is my favorite color, or with bright, warm colors. Then I buy embellishments and decorations that will compliment the paper. I recently bought the following paper from Michaels.
I recently bought the paper shown above and some other paper in the same set from Michael’s for the new scrapbook I am going to start soon. One embellishment that I believe enhances the beauty of any page is Prima flowers. The bright colors of the flowers below add cheerfulness to any page.

Keep dreaming,
