I am a stay at home mom, trying everyday to not go crazy. I have four (that's right... FOUR) Kids that I love dearly. I am married to the most supportive guy and my best friend, Ian. He keeps me sane, when he isn't driving me crazy too!
I have been scrapbooking for over 15 years now, I love the changes the industry has made since my beginning albums. I am constantly challenging myself in different ways to try something new.
I am currently on the design team of my local scrapbook store Lasting Memories. It is the largest store of its kind in the Seattle Area. I also teach a class "Not Your Ordinary Book Club." Every month members get a new scrapbook idea book, and we study it and create new projects using it as our guide. It is a great class for beginners and novices. Something to add new ideas to your scrapbooking.
More than anything, I just LOVE to scrapbook. I love seeing the looks my kids have when they see I have created another layout with their pictures. I love seeing my children capture their own timeless memories in their own albums. And I love that my sweet husband encourages me everyday to continue with a hobby I love!
I love this Mini Album. It went together so nicely. It helped that when I saw these papers I had to buy the whole collection, rub-ons, cardstock stickers, shimmer paper, all of it. I still have tons left over so I can make matching scrapbook pages for our family album also.
I love this paper! It's double sided, so with cutting it and mounting it on a white background you can really get your money's worth. Reminisce has it in every grade, through High School! It made scrapbooking Garrett and Aspen's First day of school photos super easy. Within minutes I was able to create 2 great layouts for our family album.
Since the Navy has moved us to the Seattle Area in August of 2006 we have found many favorite things that we all enjoy doing. This book is a good way for us to remember some of those. I also saved room on the lines to continue to add to our favorites!
This album was a VERY simple design. Using the black chipboard album, barely required the use of any other paper. Just some simple journaling and a bunch of great theme stickers!
These pages (and card) I created over the weekend, I like the simplicity of the layout. I have noticed lately I love to add my own doodling to the pages too.
