One of the reasons I started to scrapbook was my daughters. They deserve some kind of record a heritage if you like.
Both my sisiters were into it ( scrapbooking ) in a major way, I often laughed at them - you see scrapbooking had the same conotations for me as tupperwear parties a middleclass/middleaged bored womans pastime. OK so I was soooo far out with that deduction.
I bought a mag leaving Heathrow on a return trip back to Kuwait 3 summers ago. Loved what I was seeing, realised there was a lot more than the creative memories type scrapping out there, not that there is anything wrong with that BUT it was NEVER me!!! Checked out a few websites realised that credit cards and shopping were involved another bonus for me and sent away for my goodies. OHHHHH it was like Christmas - big boxes loads of sparkly coloured bits, lovely papers, gadgets an opportunity to make a mess and get creative - in a way I hadn't since school there was no looking back!!!!
My DH and I love to travel and are fortunate enough to do so - quite often. My first page ever was HUNGRY BUDDAH my eldest DD feel in love with Buddah on a first trip to Thailand 6 yrs ago she loved how food was brought to the temple for the monks - so consequently she put 2 and 2 together and came up with the phrase of our trip - hungry buddah - the Thai people loved it and loved her which made for an even better holiday for us.
here is my first page
