PETRA'S SCRAPBOOK ALBUMS - VIRTUAL VERSION

If you would like to see my latest LOs, click here for the link to my Recent Layouts Blog.

Or you can choose by theme/chronologically which album you would like to look at (my very latest LO may not yet be included here - please look at the link above):

Childhood Deck of Art
My Childhood explored through an altered art project featured on one of the Internet forums I belong to: a theme is assigned to each card in a deck of playing cards, by which you can explore the topic of your choice or simply create art. My topic is my childhood. A new card is being made each week until the whole deck of cards has been converted - artwork attached to the back of the card, journal clipped to the suit side. My projects are not on this webside as I publish them in a special blog - the link will take you to this blog.

2009 Photo-a-Day Challenge
Another challenge run on an Internet forum: to take a photo every day - of something special or something ordinary, and make it into a scrapbook page. I'm creating this album on 6x6" paper but my projects are not on this webside as I publish them weekly in a special blog - the link will take you to this blog. To see the pages chronologically, click here to go to the first entry. At the bottom of this (and each subsequent page) you find a link called "Newer Posts" - this always takes you to the next day.

My Book Reviews
Reading is one of my greatest pleasures, especially in bed before going to sleep. I have started making scrapbook pages to remember my favourite books as well as any books I'm reading these days, with a short review and the cover of the edition I read. These are again published in a special blog rather than on this website, and the link will take you there.
My Faithbook
In September 2009 I started reading my Bible-in-a-Year which comes with a highlighted daily verse for meditation - I decided to finalise my medidations in the form of digital scrapbook pages I can refer to again later. The method works really well and has greatly enriched my devotional life. These are again published in a special blog rather than on this website, and the link will take you there.
