I’m going to make a scrapbook like this for my daughter instead of a traditional baby book. This gave me so many great ideas ~ thanks for sharing!

[@meiyingchow]

Ooh that’s such a creative idea!! I’m sure you’re daughter would love that when she’s older and it’s my pleasure. Hope you’re having a great weekend 🎨💕

Winner of a video, I have been researching "mini scrapbook album ideas" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Tiyatalie Scrapbooking Blueprint - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my neighbour got great results with it.

This has made me really want to start a scrapbook now! A forgotten hobby from primary school days but definitely something to pick up again - thanks for the inspiration

[@meiyingchow]

Celia Nowill yes I really miss having the time at school to sit down and do some colouring or just art! But I’m glad I’m could give you the inspiration needed to get back into it and enjoy scrapbooking! If you do any pages then feel free to send me some pictures as I’d love to see 💫

[@flutterbykissez]

"loved the introduction to the video". Makes me so happy to see this. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who saves pictures, receipts, etc, and puts them in a scrapbook! People think I'm crazy for saving stuff lol. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@natalieyoung6]

This has given me the inspiration to scrapbook. I looked at bullet journaling but this looks much better

[@Alice-hj2bv]

woah such beautiful layouts i definitely will be taking some inspiration for mine from them! Looks like you had a great time travelling those photos are gorgeous! i left my scrapbooking stuff at home when i came to uni because i have so much of it and i didn't think i would have time for it (i work weekends too) but I'm planning to next academic year and do lots over the summer of course! loved the introduction to the video ;) xxx

[@meiyingchow]

Hahahaha thanks - some top notch introductionary stuff going on there and same I thought I wouldn’t have time, and rightly so- I have only scrapbooked once over the weekend since starting uni but I like to have it with me just in case if I become super nostalgic or get a creative buzz that I want to expel in some way! I hope you’re surviving uni alright with the work load and a job on top 😱 that’s superwoman stuff haha 👏🏼 the summer is definitely the best time to unwind and scrapbook for sure. Only a couple more months left 🙌🏼🙌🏼 8 sneaky chow points for Alice 🏆

I have a ring binder scrapbook. My first one and I thought I’d made a blunder buying it. I’ll have to look into those little things that allow you to fit items to the rings. TFS. 👍😃

[@meiyingchow]

Yes they’re so useful! Either that or I use a hole punch along the edges of the paper and then make slits into them via the edge so I can slip the pages in that way! Ring binders are the best 💕

[@TDavis-zp9ye]

I was watching your video. As a fellow scrapbooker; I appreciate your style! But, I do have a question for you. When you close your book; how do you keep the photos from sticker to each other (or anything else for that matter)? Do you have page covers? Or do you use a piece of tissue paper between the pages? Curious.
