why I scrapbook
- Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that's why I made works of art. ~Felix Gonzalez-Torres

Christmas 2012
I did my Christmas pages a little bit different this year... I just did one big overview instead of lots of individual pages. I'm still going to make pages for Christmas Eve/Day... but mostly I'm done with Christmas!
I created a 6x12 page with a list of my favorite memories from this year.
This is the back side of the 6x12.. a list of our advent activities.
This is how the 6x12 will look in the album on top of the first page.
This is how the backside of the 6x12 will look with the first page.

Painting Rainbows
Fun new Spring kit! I used the same pictures for both layouts... one is a single picture layout and one is a multi picture layout. Sometimes its fun to show the same pictures in different ways.
A one picture layout:

plant nourish grow
I love the sweet pictures on this page... my dad was out working in the garden and the grandkids were out playing in the pastures... running in the irrigation water, feeding the horse next door and just having fun with cousins. It makes my heart happy.
Love the colors in this kit and thought the title worked well with the pictures.

I was really here and that I really lived...
I've always loved this quote. I made it 12x18 (because I have an empty 12x18 frame sitting empty)... I'll have it printed at Costco, frame it and hang it in my kitchen.
I love Marjorie Hinckley so much (and I love the sunflowers on this page!).
Here's the quote if its too hard to read:
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." - Marjorie Pay Hinckley

be happy now...
Fayette of has created yet another ADORABLE kit in the Time 4 collection.... I LOVE the colors and the cute sunflowers.
This page was kind of hard for me... I'm not good at the emotinal stuff... I like to scrapbook "events"... but it was good for me to be able to journal some feelings... life isn't always parties and vacations and I think its important to document that in my scrapbooking!
