SISTER Sunday - November 18th

Please WELCOME Beverley Todd, from England, as our sister this week!



Name: Beverley Todd


Tell us about your family:
I’m married to Adam & have four boys aged 21, 18, 16 & 3. They are the main focus of my scrapbooking, although I do tend to scrap the little one most. We didn’t always have a camera when the older ones were small. The older ones (& their friends) are mindful of my scrapping habits, so when they have parties, go to gigs & festivals or have days out, they make sure to take photographs & run a disc off for me!


How/Why did you start scrapbooking?
I fell into scrapbooking by accident! I was contributing to a card making magazine in the UK and they released a new scrapbooking title: 12x12 Scrapbooking Magazine. I got some information about submissions from my editor and trawled the internet to find out what it was. My first submissions were published in issue two and I carried on contributing three or four layouts each month until the magazine closed a year later. The rest, they say, is history.


How long have you been scrapbooking? Three years


What is it about scrapbooking that you really love?
I know everybody says it’s about preserving your family heritage and leaving a legacy but for me that is a bonus. The thing I really love is the community. I have met so many fabulous and talented people – just by doing a bit of cutting and sticking! For me, it is about sharing a common interest and forging new friendships all over the world.

How many hours a week do you scrapbook?
On average, about 20 but it depends what else I have on. Some weeks it is more like 40.

How long does it take you to complete a layout?
Anything under 2 hours is rare. Mostly I’d say 3 or 4 hours.


Where do you get your inspiration?
Everywhere! Sometimes it’s a particular paper, photograph or embellishment – other times it will be a sketch or prompt from an online challenge. There are times when I have no idea where it comes from but I never question the mojo when it’s there!
