Are you one of those people who is always looking for ways to to improve their own scrapbooking skills and loves to find inspiration on the web? Well, then today I might have something for you.
The website scrapbookinginspiration.com comes with a full load of articles including tips, tutorial, inspiration and more to jazz up your scrapbook pages. You’ve never heard of that site? Well, then why don’t you hop on over there to check it out?
You can always tell when I’ve had visitors. How? Well, by the cups. The cups sitting on my coffee table in the living room. The cups which are usually half full. Or half empty. Or whichever way you prefer to look at it.
You see, local custom has it that you don’t empty whatever the host has set before you. That’s impolite. Instead, every time after people have visited me, I have a bunch of cups filled with whatever drinks I’ve offered (usually water, the preferred beverage around here). And I am left to deal with that.
I guess, my plants are happy, though. Because instead of normal (filthy) tap water, they get the privilege of being served good and fine drinking water. What a treat!
In my part of the world, spring is in full swing with lots of warm sunny blue sky days (which really is rare around here), spring flowers and budding trees. Perfect timing, therefore, to talk a little about spring in our journaling café and what this season triggers in your mind.
And as I’ve been out and about taking photos during spring, I’ve got lots to scrap about, and so here’s my page, using one of today’s journaling prompts:

It’s that time of the year again. The time for the dreaded physical exam which we have to endure every year that we want to stay in the country.
Well, granted: things have gotten a lot better compared to the first time we had to get them – being herded in crowds along corridors through which you had to carry your urine samples up to the next floor etc. Yep. You may get the point why we all cringe at the first sign of the next physicals approaching.
So, finding this email in my inbox the other day did not quite cause me to flip with excitement at the prospect of yet another opportunity to be poked and stripped and all those other dreadful things. But as always with such things: better to get it over with, sooner rather than later!
I got inspired yet once more by a paper layout that I thought would be fun to turn into a digital one and giving it my own slant. Take a look at this fun layout “Shining Star” by Leslie Ashe:
I loved the playful use of papers and elements here, and that big fat title just stood out. So, used those parts as inspiration for my own page:
I had to go on a quest again. In search of my bicycle. Well, what had happened was that I’d received an email the other day requesting us to go and move our bikes from the place we’re currently allowed to store them. Of course, it took me a couple of days until I actually got to take care of that, and when I finally managed to go deal with the matter, I discovered that my bike wasn’t where I’d last put it anymore.
Fortunately, I knew where to go look first, and there it was …
… my poor bicycle, squeezed in among all the other faculty transportation devices, and almost impossible to get to. (Note the bike with the little red bell. That’s the one!)
But for the time being, I know it’s at least save where it is, and I won’t have to worry about going on another quest anytime soon!
