My scrapbooks

I thought I’d show some pages from my scrapbooks. I have three so far (all too big to fit the scanner I’m afraid) plus a box full of unsorted clippings, and here are some pages from scrapbook number one.

This was the first page I put together many years ago and it doesn’t have a theme apart from everything being black and white.

Shiny, glitter and green.

Pink.

I cut these Eden ads (one more below) from a Frida magazine when I was like ten and looked at them so much that they completely fell a part. I thought they were so beautiful and I still do. In more recent years I was very happy to find new untattered ones in some magazine to put in my scrapbook. This page is funny because without thinking about it I managed to put two pictures showing the underside of boobs on the same page :D

This page which is supposed to have an ice theme isn’t finished yet but I still had to show it since those Angel by Thierry Mugler ads are some of the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen. The spiky catsuit is just perfect.
