DIY : customized scrapbook

Out of boredom, I tried
making my own scrapbook
when i lived in cebu for 6
months a couple of years back.
Making it from scratch is one
thing, scrapbooking is another.
It takes time,a few bucks & like crosstitching, patience for itsy-bitsy details, which i so obviously lack. I ended up asking my boyfriend to finish the task instead. It was fun though & i just might make another one when i have enough pics saved up again...
