I am a happy scrapbooker. I am a person who creates for the love of it, free to create and free to love what I've created, whether or not it has the latest products, techniques or story telling motifs.
Scientific research into happiness has shown that practices such as paying attention, appreciating what you have, and being present in the moment make us happier. I love the idea putting practices into my life to build my happiness, and I've even joined in on a Scrap Happy blog series to help reinforce the ideas I've learnt through this and other happiness related books.
Lain Ehmann and Stacy Julian's { discovery no.7 } Don’t confuse stuff with success really stood out to me. Things can't make you as happy as good relationships with your family and friends.
So I took a break from my latest 'big project' to spend an hour creating a layout that documented a special relationship I've seen growing in the last 2.5yrs. The father-daughter bond of our little Emily and my husband Phill.
I just used whatever supplies I had on hand that were pink and green, and didn't turn my nose up at reusing my favourite colour scheme and digital goodies from Flergs and a template from Jenn Lindsay.
The result was a meaningful and fun page, using photos of Phill and Emily that I love.
