I started scrapbooking in 1999 when we moved to Venezuela. I wanted to capture the experience of living abroad with more than just pictures. My first books consisted mostly of pasting pictures to the white pages of a post bound book and writing some journaling in black ink. I was afraid to do much more, because I thought I would do something wrong. 

Once my son was born in 2001, I got even more serious about scrapbooking. I wanted to create permanent records of the great times we would share together as a family. Fourteen completed scrapbooks later, my cropping style of totally eclectic. Some pages are simple, other take me hours to complete. It really depends on the mood I am in and how much I am running my mouth at crops. 

The one thing I can say about my scrapbooking is my love of gadgets and trying the newest style. Once I got over my fear of making mistakes, I have just gone wild. If it is out there I have tried it. My scrapbooking room is a testament of all the different tools I "had to have." My biggest love is letters. Since I am not fond of my own hand writing, I try to find creative ways of telling the story without using my own penmanship.

I also love teaching other scrapbookers to use techniques that are new to them. Seeing that look of "wow, look what I did" just makes me feel great. Since we are all such different people, I rarely walk out of any class or crop without learning something new myself.

I started scrapbooking in September, 1999 after my husband and I went on an Alaskan cruise. My scrapbooking in the beginning consisted of using a glue stick on a black spiral bound scrapbook. There was a little bit of journaling and a few Wal-Mart purchased paper embellishments. After my daughter was born in 2003, I resigned from my Elementary School Art Teacher position to become a stay-at-home mom. I decided to start scrapbooking her day to day accomplishments and milestones. It was at that time I found out just how big the world of Scrapbooking really was. Today I scrapbook for my daughter, son, and husband. At this point my daughter has 5 books, my son has 2 and my husband and I are mixed in their books. I believe that the photographs are the most important part of the scrapbook. Without the pictures there would be nothing to write about. So I have recently started Pixel Pix Photography, a Photography Studio dedicated to Weddings, Special Events and Portraits. I pride myself on capturing the moments in every special day. I truly believe scrapbooking is not just a way to remember the exciting moments in our day to day life, but a way the future generations can relive those moments. -S. Fields 2005
 

 

My name is Carmen Black and I live in Tulsa, OK with my husband Corey and three wonderful children Rachel (5) and twin boys Thomas and Andrew (2). I have officially been scrapbooking now since January 2006, but have always kept a scrapbook or journal thanks to my Mammy and my addiction to keeping something from every experience I have, whether it be my Kindergarten Valentine's or my daughter's Sesame Street Live tickets. Since being introduced to Ashley last year, she has opened my eyes to even more memory saving techniques. I was instantly addicted!! I have always had an artistic vision including drawing, painting or even a career in framing artwork. Now that I am a stay-at-home mom, I can focus my art on preserving their memories and accomplishments.
