For the past 4months, I have been hooked into digital scrapbooking and it was really a happy feeling to complete and finally post a layout in the gallery and in my blog. Recently, I have been checking out about the traditional scrapbooking and I really really wanted to try it. I want to know the feeling and I want to feel the same satisfaction of everyone upon completion of a layout. I know, it will be more expensive

Yesterday, I met with an old friend and a high school classmate, Donna. She’s been into scrapbooking since I don’t know when but she’s into both traditional and digital. The only thing I can tell about her is that all her creations are gorgeous. I am really inspired by her work. Check out scrappydonna’s layouts for you to see. She taught me how to do paper and even showed me all her tools and inks and other accessories. I was stunned, paper really has more into it and so I ended up buying some of her papers, chipboards and elements, lol!

Oh and by the way, I also joined Studio Azul’s kit club membership. My very first kit was delivered to me last Thursday. Donna and I used it yesterday when I had my first tutorial. And since this month is the celebration of father’s day, we used the pictures of the kids with their dad. Here is the outcome:

#1 dad

Materials: Papers and Elements from May in June Kit by Studio Azul

Chipboard: c/o Donna

Actually, it is even more fulfilling doing it with your hands than using Photoshop. But I am not saying goodbye to digi, just so you know. I will do both

So, how was my very first traditional layout?
