Rub a Dub Dub

This is currently one of my favorite layouts. Probably more for the picture than the layout itself (although I am loving the pink and chocolate brown combo). The girls in the photo are my daughters and my friend’s daughters. These kids are going to grow up together, and I think that in 10 years it will be fun to look back on this and smile.
The brown patterned paper is from Rebecca Sower. A little touch of shabby chic. I turned the photo to sepia tone, matted it on suede paper and then added the light pink background. A few pink flowers, a handmade booklet that tells a bit more of the story, and a couple metal accents and viola! A simple, coordinated, slightly girly layout!
Welcome!

Scrapbooking is a passion of mine. It is a creative outlet. It’s a fun way to preserve memories of all kinds. It is a mode of expression. It is a craft that my 4 and 1/2 year old daughter is becoming passionate about as well. I like to create my canvas with gorgeous focal photos, some ribbon and patterned papers. My daughter’s tools of choice are stickers, my rubber stamp collection and markers. We have a lot of fun together (she even has her own album where she preserves her pages) and she smiles when I show her my final product. I enjoy watching her style evolve with time, just as mine did. I created this section of the Web site to offer some pointers, tricks of the trade and a record of my journey. Join me for the ride and come back to visit often!
That being said, my first pointer is: if you have children and you like to scrapbook, include your children. Trust me, you will feel a tremendous sense of pride as you watch what they create. And they will enjoy spending time with you and sharing your passion.
