Scrapbooking is a craft, enjoyed by thousands and thousands of people (mainly women) around the world. It is a hobby which involves displaying photos with an artistic flair, using archival products (acid-free) to preserve your photographs for future generations. It is a fun way of being creative, it preserves precious memories in the form of photos and journalling and of course, it is a great way of meeting new friends.
Scrapbooking can be as complicated or as easy as you want to make it, techniques and styles come in and out of vogue but everyone has their own preferences. You may like to doodle or sew onto paper, use bright contemporary colours or maybe vintage pretty patterns. You may like to use wire and beads, paint, play with fonts and words or you may be you like to do a bit of everything. Inspiration is all around us, once you are a scrapbooker you never look at buttons, scraps of paper, fabric samples or photograph opportunities in the same way again!
The aim of Doodling Daisies is to give scrapbookers a venue to meet in the Maidstone area of Kent and work on your scrapbooks. This meeting is called a 'Crop'. It is a great way of meeting new people, seeing other people's scrapbooks and getting inspiration, working on your latest layouts and of course meeting up with friends (new and old) for a chat and a laugh.
We at Doodling Daisies will arrange a crop every month and a few times a year we plan to organise a residential weekend, so that we can all scrap into the night and make a real weekend of it! Dont forget to bookmark this site to find all the dates we have booked.
