The first project, the scrapbook, is probably the easiest. I am cheating a little, I started and finished my scrapbook before even starting this blog, but I promise I was thinking of this idea the whole time I was working on it. I also promise that when my mother gave me the Encyclopedia and I opened it up to the scrapbooking pages I knew instantly that I must finally dig out my wedding box from two years ago and start working. And I did and it turned out beautifully. I used almost everything from Martha's embellishment glossary, the rub on letters and transfers, the borders and photo adhesive tape. The only things I didn't use? Air mail envelopes and eyelets and hammers (for a wedding scrapbook that just seemed too rough)...
For the actual book I used a three ring wedding album that my sister in law gave us as a wedding present. Although I worried about there being no protective layer over the pages, I think it will last and if not, well then thank my lucky stars I live in the digital age and all those photos are still living in my computer.
That is all I have to say about the scrapbook. To me, this is the easiest and probably the least challenging as scrapbooks are made from our memories and our hearts, not the instructions of Ms. Stewart.
