“The golden door is open” says this page. I feel like I have entered the new level of scrapbooking when I have increased the amount of handmade elements, especially hand decorated papers.
I wonder why store-bought papers are so popular. Using my own papers is so inspiring. Here’s “Empty Scenes”.
In this page I have used odd leftover letter stickers to create patterned background area in the bottom of the page. Did not cost anything but with some gesso and acrylics they got a new look.
With hand decorated papers I have begun to pick themes that I never did before. Like this one about Sibelius’s Finlandia hymn, my aunt and being a Finn.
Hi Paivi,

Thank you for your lovely comment, Sonja!
