I like to give a personalized birthday card for my family and friends. I began to scrapbook cards. My first one was very simple, but since then I have done a lot, the great majority are birthday cards.

Before I started to scrapbook, I use to sew a lot (embroidery and cross stitching), now I have less time to stitch, so I introduced this aspect of my life into my card making.

When I make cards or layouts I love to hand stitch. This is a way to personalize them, but it takes a lot more time, but it worth’s the effort.

I discovered scrapbooking last year when I was looking for something to relax and since then I can’t stop! I love the concept of saving memories, especially with photos. I travel a lot, and my firsts pages were from my travels, now I scrapbook almost everything. I feel creative when I scrapbook, it’s my way to relax. I participate in numerous forums, and also I try to maintain my blog to day (http://miuniversoeva.blogspot.com), here I post my works and also I make tutorials and video tutorials. In Spain scrapbooking is not very well known, but day by day more people are joining us. My next project is an online shop, where the benefits go to cooperation projects in India, you can find it here: http://scrapbookingsolidario.blogspot.com.
