An animal themed scrapbook page

Scrapbooking is fun and creative and it’s easy to get caught up in making it too complicated and then you don’t know if you are happy with the result. I find picking a theme for the scrapbook page is easiest for me. Then I can sync everything together. 

I like to showcase scrapbooking to you with a scrapbook page and you can add photos to the scrapbook page as well! 

So let me walk you through how I created this animal themed scrapbook page. 

I normally choose the scrapbooking paper to start the theme process but this time I decided to choose the type of stickers I wanted and then found the scrapbooking paper to match.

I chose an animal themed scrapbook. For stickers, I had dogs, pandas and clouds and later I added some flowers and a quote sticker. 


I then chose the scrapbooking paper, I went for outdoor living vibe, such as flowers and wood. I just felt it would go well with the animal sticker.

I started by cutting the pieces of scrapbook paper down and then adding the paper to the page with a glue stick. 


Once I was happy with this, I added the stickers to the top. I don’t normally plan where the stickers will go so I started with the cute panda stickers and felt three of them were enough. I then added the dog stickers. Too cute! I thought some cloud stickers would be fun to add. At the top right I added a rainbow cloud but wished I put it over the top panda. But that’s ok, if you think of a better position later. Just let it be. 

A scrapbooking tip: You don’t want to try to take the sticker off because otherwise it will rip off the paper. If you really hate it, you can simply put something over it, where it’s a picture to glue on or a different sticker. 

I kept the sticker there but made sure I added some clouds above some of the animals for the rest. I then added flowers because I felt the flowers around animals is their normal environment. And I thought maybe I should add a sweet quote to the page, so I found one.

The funny thing about the quote stickers, is they all aren’t nice quotes. I find this quite funny but also a little annoying because I have to swift through the quote stickers to find a motivational or a simply nice one. 

Then I thought, maybe it’s missing something? And so I added some washi tape as well, of course animal washi tape (yes unicorns are an animal!) and flower washi tape to the sides. I feel like washi tape completes the look. It just frames the scrapbook page well. 

You can use washi tape to create a frame around your photos if you so desire. 

The end result is pretty cool. (Pic up the top of the blog). It does feel a bit random but also together and I really feel like, it was fun to make which is all that matters. 

If you are just starting out in scrapbooking or simply looking for new ideas, I suggest creating a theme first to help you. This is also a good idea to think of themes when you go shopping for supplies. It’s a good idea to find theme scrapbooking paper, themed stickers and if possible, although sometimes harder find themed washi tape. There are other scrapbooking supplies you can get and you could also theme this as well.

And you don’t have to use a theme, I just find it easier to start when there is a blank page facing me, with a heap of scrapbooking paper and supplies to choose from.

How I use my home for craft

So my home is decorated by my craft.  For example, I have a craft room where I store my craft supplies and have space to do my craft and then I have in my lounge room showing my craft creations (pictured above) and also storing craft supplies like yarn, where I love to look at and think about the possibilities of what I can do with my craft supplies.  It makes me feel good to come home and be surrounded by my craft.  And it’s ok to never have your craft room finished. For me it’s a work in progress. I am always changing it and my supplies and where to showcase my supplies. This is because my interests change. One month I may be heavily into crocheting so I don’t need a table for that, I can just sit on the couch. I really just need storage for my yarn and crochet needles and my half completed crochet projects such as draws to cater for these.  Another month, I may be into scrapbooking so I do need a table for this, my set of draws for the stickers and tapes and then ...

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...
