scrapbooking sessions


i love film photography. obviously we’re all digi-lovers these days which does sadden me slightly; there’s a perception that taking photos the old-fashioned way is pricey but film can be cheap – my family/fella often spot it in £1 shops & are trained to pounce! i use truprint‘s mail-order development; it starts at £5 for 1 roll so having some patience can halve the usual processing costs (look at the bottom of this post for some cheeky truprint discount codes!).

even though we occasionally all have snaps printed out, i’d guess that (like myself) you have a shoebox full of these long-neglected shots at the bottom of your wardrobe. well, now the nights are really dark & damp in it’s the perfect time to indulge in some classic cutting & sticking!

i’ve been scrapbooking since my art gcse days, when gathering inspiration was often my favourite part of a project (i’m talking about you, soil painting). i got back into it last summer when i made a little book compiling photos, tickets, business cards, etc. after our italy trip. recently, i’ve gone for a more simple, ‘tidy’ style to make a book of my favourite film camera snaps.

it’s such a fun way to pass an evening: it requires minimal attention (e.g. can be done while watching “homeland”), costs next to nothing, & is impossible to get ‘wrong’. so, what do you need?
