Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

This was taken of my girlfriend and scrapbook partner in crime, Valerie.....aka Gig Harbor Scrapper at a crop we went to a couple of years ago. I thought maybe some of you non scrappers would like to see what a crop looks like.

Even if you can't escape for a full day of playing with paper, I hope you can at least carve a few minutes to play with something creative today.

Not sure if you know this, but I don't get to scrap today...........oh? I've already mentioned that before? Are you sure?

BUT! I do get to make the card for the event today. I must get busy. But first...... I thought I would share with you my very first layout.....EVER! Look at the lovely display of the famous "sneeze" technique.........and of course the lack of nice looking journaling. I actually just ended up adding the journaling years later and just scribbled where ever I had room. So see, it really doesn't matter in the end what it looks like, the memories are still the same.

As you can see.........or hopefully anyway, I have cleaned up my act. Or I just discovered how to scraplift. I like a lot of white space, clean lines and I always journal now, either on the back or on the layout. This soccer one was actually made for a 12x12 frame for a coach gift.

This one is my all time fav! Love the laughing face of my son, love the white space and the colors.

I also only do one page layouts anymore...........I don't know why, but I cram as many photos on a page as I can. I also usually use white, black or kraft cardstock. Don't know why.

I am trying to get my search button at the bottom to work so you can search for what you want here at TCB. Why do I have a search button? Well, I know I come off as being super organized, ....LOL.......but occasionally I can't remember if I already featured someone and I need to search. And that search button way down there isn't working for me........ It won't work, but maybe that's some weird blogger rule. I don't know. So would you please check it for me? Type anything and search. Pretty please? Did it work?

Oh, one more thing. I want to remind you and pat myself on the back that I posted everyday this week. M-F and now Sat! So please check out all the features this week. Fun stuff.
