Paper Scrapbook - College Mini Album

I've been working this year on redoing old paper scrapbooks that I'm no longer interested in keeping around, due to their enormous size and ugliness. This has also given me opportunity to check out the world of paper scrapbooking again. And while I'm finished with the unwieldy 12x12 size, I'm really keen on all the super cute mini albums that I see pass by on Pinterest. I've mentioned before that one of the main things I miss when digital scrapbooking is the scrap side of things. I really like working just from my actual scraps box. None of that over-coordinated looking stuff for me. The more random the better. I completely indulged this desire with this redo of my college album. The only plan I had for this mini was in the end for it to look like a complete hodge-podge, which I feel I did a pretty good job of capturing. And I was happy with the result.

What a great mini album! I totally love the look... so funky & fun! When I make something like this it makes me "happy" every time I look at it... so here I am smiling and happy just looking at yours!

This is completely adorable however my most vivid memory of paper scrapping is having glue on my fingers - All. The. Time. Have no idea how given I mainly used special double sided tape...

Wow .. sweet memories it seem! .. I think it might be safer for me to do a mix of digital and "actual" scrapebooking so that not to commit my self fully to one and miss the happiness that the other brings :)

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
