Now whilst I am a very creative person, I am not even a little bit crafty. I'd love to be, but I'm just not. And I know I'm not crafty, but I still try to be.
And so that's how I ended up with a sh*t ton of project life stuff in my possession. And I kept trying to start scrapbooks, and failing every time.
And it got to a point where I was like, hey, I either need to give this stuff up, or I need to get on it.
And so I basically decided, to stop being so precious about it.
I wouldn't scrapbook because I was waiting to get nice photos printed, but then they'd arrive in bulk and I'd be all 'wooaaah, hey, this is too much pressure, I'm out'.
So I started just printing photos on my printer. No, they aren't the best quality, and no, they aren't on pretty glossy paper, but they get the point across.
I'm not discriminating either, it's not just high quality snaps from my DSLR, but I've also included blurry phone photos and Snapchats too. Cause that's real life right?
And okay, so my handwriting looks like shit, but who cares? You get the point, right?

And I think I was struggling with all these giant books, and the pressure of trying to fill up these huge pages and making them look perfect. So instead, I ordered a couple of 4X4 books, and that was a BIG difference for me. Because I can just scribble some notes over a photo and chuck it in.
I'm just being a lot more casual with it, and I think I actually prefer the result. It's more natural, it's more accurate and it's more me.
Let me know if you'd like to see some detailed posts on my new albums, inc what I used and so on!
