Turning Back to My First Love - Scrapbooking
It is almost 2:00 in the afternoon but I can't sleep still.
I don't know why after having a short chitchat with my older brother, I don’t
feel like sleeping anymore and so to make use of the time, I have decided to
post something here on my blog. Yehey!!! It’s been awhile since the last time
that I have published my last post here. I was kinda busy for the past few
days. I was busy with work and we went to the province with the corresponding
weekends so there was never a chance.
Anyways, I am quite excited about my post today, why?
Because it is about my first love, yes! Hehe, my first love was scrapbooking
actually. Way back in secondary years, I love to create small scrapbooks which
contained pictures of people I love. Some of those were already missing, I can’t
seem to find them anymore but good thing I still have my college scrapbooks
with me.
There are a lot of reasons why I just can’t help making scrapbooks.
First, it is like a stress-reliever for me, once I start to cut those colored
papers, I forget all problems and I am refreshed every time I do it. Second, it
is a time-passer, meaning, I feel like forgetting the time. I would be pretty much
focused on it that I would tend to forget it is already midnight (I usually do
scrapbooking at night.) Third, it is a remembrance for me; the most important
thing about scrapbooking is that it keeps memories, which are the only things
that never change. I love to scan through those scrapbooks when I feel alone,
when I have problems, it is like a reliever, and it brings me back to those
happy times.
Since I am now working, I don’t usually do manual
scrapbooking anymore. What I am enjoying now is the digital scrapbook. The idea
is the same; the only thing that has changed is the materials. Before, I used
colored papers, scissors, glues and etc., now I only have the computer and
Adobe Photoshop and I am good to go, and don’t forget the internet, where every
resources come from.
The good thing about having an internet connection is
because you got all you need. In my case, I don’t create those flowers or those
designs from scratch; I usually searches for nice designs and put them all
together, pretty resourceful eh? It is much easier and the result is good. Let
me show you some of my creations...
