My first attempts at this 'scrapbooking!'

Ok I kind of lie, I've done a few bits here and there over the last few years, however this is an album I've been quietly working away at. I can say it's no where near scrapbook perfection, but I like it and thats the main point seeing as I'll be looking at it all the time! (I am getting annoyed with trying to post my pages as they aren't going in the right order!!) So in back to front order!

This is me at age 22 (this year).. I am working on an album documenting my 20's, something that I bet I'll be looking back at when I'm 40 and wishing I hadn't been so hard on myself:





This is at my 21st last year (2007) with my step-dad (up top) and real dad (down bottom). Damn I wish I still had that figure!:



This is the second page of a double page spread about my grandfather (I never met him, he was born in America):

This is the first page of the double spread, my grandfather:

This is my cover page, with my whole name Jessie Archaleen Balfour Montgomery, hard out indeed!:

Ok now, after being so annoyed with figuring out how to work this blog thing thats it for now... back with my nose in scrapbooking books!

tomorrow the fun begins..

Mum and I are heading to scrapbookersdelight.co.nz (well the store) to do a class tomorrow morning. Exciting stuff. I haven't been to a class before so I'm quite excitied about getting some 'professional' tution.

I'm keen to do some of their competitions online aswell, must admit of all the hobbies I could have (apart from horses) this is incredibly rewarding and productive. At least I can look at my scrapbooks even when I'm an old lady!

I'm here..

Well here I am. In all my exciting glory! I'm looking forward to meeting many more young (and young at heart) people like myself and making links to other scrapbookers, getting inspiration for life and generally writing whatever comes to my mind!
