MUSIC SCRAPBOOKING

A music scrapbooking layout can create all sorts of emotions in future years. Either 'so that's where it all started' or 'so why did you give that up?!' My layout here gave me a chance to indulge in something I'd always done at school (instead of paying attention) - drawing drum kits.

WHAT DO YOU CALL SOMEONE WHO HANGS OUT WITH MUSICIANS?

Yeah, I know, a drummer! Now that's out of the way, this music layout features my son William and I indulging in one of the world's noisiest pastimes. The black and white photo - where I seem to be hitting myself in the eye with a drumstick - was taken at my 40th birthday party. They HAD invented colour at the time.

BACKGROUND PAPERS: A BIG HIT

The idea for this page came when I returned from London's 'Big Stamp and Scrapbook Show at Alexandra Palace. I'd picked up the music manuscript paper - can't remember where but will find out! - and when I saw it next to the Cherry Arte 'star' design, I just had to scrabble around for those drumming photos.

'KIT PAGE'

The bass drum was a circular-cropped photo just waiting to happen. The rest of the 'kit', made up of Bazzill blue, white, black and silver cardstock, was a real throwback to doodling drum kits on my notebooks at school - but being able to take much more care - AND not risk being told off for not paying attention!
