The longest time ago my best friends sister told me she took a rock from every place she visited, and used them as decor in her potted plants. I started picking them up, my inner child who collected piles and piles of rocks intrigued. But I sort of love this collection box scrapbook method instead. I spent the morning creating labels, writing memories on the back, of my recent travels this July. I love seeing how different all the landscapes are, and how that translates into their rocks.
context is i had a tattoo my abusive ex put on me it was fking ugly it looked like a prison tat lmfao T~T but i finally saved up to get it off and i feel so freeeeeeee
Hey there! I thought that I would show one of my favorite activities to do while little (and big sometimes!): Scrapbooking!!
It's really fun to make pages themed around a character or show and just make it pretty, so I thought I would go ahead and show you my process of creating a page ^u^ (it starts under the cut!!)
First, pick out a book to make your pages on! I have a small fluffy notebook that I use, and it makes me feel so small every time I use it.
Next, you'll wanna pick a theme! I usually have a small collection of stickers/ cardboard tags to choose from, so I usually theme the page based off of something from there. But, you can use whatever you please! For my example, I'm going to use this nice little pride tag that came with a hair elastic.
Of course, you'll need other supplies too! Honestly, you can put anything you think of on there. Stickers, cardboard, construction paper, sticky notes, beads, ribbon, pressed flowers, bottle caps, the list goes on! I don't have many options myself, but I've seen people make some amazing things just with things that they found from the recycling bin. You gotta get creative!
After you've collected some supplies, just go wild! Make your pages as colorful and glittery as your heart desires. Don't be afraid to have things poking out of the page! (Psst, if you're an artist reading this who has a habit of doodling.. you should probably put some in here! Remember those doodles that were in your english notebook? Cut them out and give them a proper home!)
I don't have too many supplies, but this is what I came up with!
Its not the best thing in this book, but the important thing is that I had fun while doing it (which, I totally did, so mission accomplished!)
Below are some pages that hopefully inspire you to make something cool!
I hope you end up making something super cool! (And hey, if you do, feel free to join our daycare Discord server and show us in the art channel! the link is in our pinned post)
I'm glad journaling exist, to help us cope with bad days. Here's my journal notebooks through out the years, (others were lost already😭) but originally I have 8 diaries in total since Highschool. I also customize and designed them to make it look more personalized! I'm planning to have another one this year. Coz y not? Journaling is therapeutic.
