First Smash Book

My relationship with smash book started in February 2012.  We have a love and hate kind of relationship because looking at the pages, it seemed easy, but when I am about to start to make my page or spread, I always end up pulling out all the embellishments I have, my room seemed like a bomb just blew off.  Then I remember, it should be messy and beautiful, stick to the plan - just smash everything in there, no rules.

And so I started to use one of my folios.  First stop - Simple Orange.  I liked it coz its.... SIMPLE.  My first folio was About Me coz it was easier and so i thought.  I embellished the outside cover with thickers, few papers and flowers. Good start huh.

Then I started printing photos of everything I see, browsed thru magazines and did some cutting.  But I just couldn't make myself use the clippings. Ughhhh.. another dilemma, I had to have a plan B - print more photos and use it. So my next pages where about my dream wedding, my favorite summer clothes (that I wish I could have the courage to wear), about me as a photographer and my favorite stores to shop.

After my first few pages, I stopped.  I wonder, why can't I finish this book, its about me for heaven's sake.  I guess I really don't know me either. Haha.  But I didn't give up on this book, if it weren't for the cover page that says "ABOUT ME", I would've finished this months ago.  So here are some of the other spreads I have made in this book and hopfully I can finish this and get to start a new, and this time, NO THEMES!
