Scrapbooking - Traditional & Digital

Yesterday I discovered the magical world of Digital Scrapbooking! I decided to give a try to some free stuff that I've downloaded some time ago. I have one thing to say... Digital Scrapbooking? - SUPER FUN! At first I thought that the result wouldn't be so good. I've always thought that technology can't be compared to the actual ART but maybe I was wrong. Ok, I admit that there is nothing like being able to touch and feel the materials and  textures but the result is as beautiful as the "real one". For the following pages I've used two kits that I've downloaded from Luna Rosa's Scraps (Grandma's House & Autumn Blessings), an amazing site that offers almost everyday Digital Scrapbooking freebies (papers & elements). I've printed some of the papers and they look pretty good actually.

With the String Theory papers I've started this mini album.

I've cut some cereal boxes, stitched and glued on them some of the String papers. I've also made two pockets where I've put the tags that I've made a couple of days ago.

For the cover I've made my own embellishments out of clear plastic and carton which I've colored them with acrylic paints and decorated with buttons (based on a idea from the book 52 Scrapbooking challenges).

It's not finished yet but I love it already!

I'm improving, aren't I?

Tell me what you think!

60. Wee Folk Art

Wee Folk Art is a mother/daughter team with a mutual love of crafting and the gentle art of homemaking. With the "wee folks" in mind, most of their crafting is focused on children. They do, however, throw in crafts for the home, self or yummy recipes just to keep it interesting.

Well, that was it for today.

Tell me if you found it interesting... or NOT! :-)

Have A Nice Day!
