I’m so excited that I actually scrapped for myself! Here it is: the first layout of 2012. Hopefully, it will be the first of many. MAN, I missed scrapping!

On November 22nd, my handsome husband and I will celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary. OH, how I love that man! It totally doesn’t feel like 14 years. More like 5. Except that things were harder at year 5 than they are now. BUT, what I mean is that it feels like we were married just yesterday! Except that I love him more.
Isn’t that just incredible? I mean, you think you love the person you are going to marry more than any other person/thing on the entire planet on the day …

I finished a couple of layouts the other night, so I thought I’d post them here!!

I actually created this page about Cole growing up last year sometime. It was published in an online magazine, so I didn’t post it in the galleries. I messed with the shadows after taking a shadows class by Peppermint. Awesome class!

Hey, do you remember way back when I said that I want to be better at keeping up with my scrapbooking? You guys were supposed to hold me accountable. We’re not doing so great. However, I DID work on a page last night!! I had a blast picking out pictures and a kit and throwing it all together in Photoshop.
Have I told you lately how much I love digital scrapbooking? No? Well, I truly do. I started out as a reluctant paper scrapper, turned obsessed (but not very creative) paper …

You know how I had hoped to get back to digital scrapbooking this year? Keep up with the memories and all that? Well, this is the first layout of the year. Good grief. Hopefully I’ll be making more!
I was completely inspired by the new boutique collaboration over at The Digichick called All About Me. Oh, the colors! The papers!! LOVE! The Digichick is known for amazing boutique collaborations (where all of the designers contribute), and this one is quickly becoming a favorite. I’m usually the type of scrapper who …

Well, today is Valentine’s Day, and I totally outdid myself. See, I started this strange tradition a few years ago where I Photoshop some Valentines for my kids to take to school, and now it has morphed into a pressure-filled requirement. In reality, I truly enjoy doing this for them, and I LOVE the look on their faces when they see what I have come up with, but let’s face it. I am NOT a Photoshop whiz, nor am I an extraction queen. VERY far from it, actually. However, I …

I recently read, “If you only had 2 years to live, what would you do?”
Of course, my answer is different than if I had been asked what I would do if I only had one day or if I only had a week.
My answer is: I would make memories with my family and scrapbook them.
I am sad to admit that it has been a long time since I have scrapbooked. And, the thing is that I really enjoy scrapbooking. A lot. I think it is important to record family memories, …
