Why I Scrap

Since my childhood, I have already been cutting paper and putting stickers in my photo albums.  But, it was only in 2005 when I attended a scrapbooking class that I discovered the joyous world of scrapbooking and documenting life.

In 2005, my only desire was to document my wedding preparations and also the wedding itself.  But as the years went by and my family grew, my reasons to scrap also became greater.  When my son Nico came and later Rocky, the reasons became more compelling and I just found myself scrapping every weekend at home.

I love this hobby.  It ensures that memories are turned into little treasures for the future.  This is a gift that should be nurtured and I am thankful.

Journalling Reads:  I started scrapping in 2005 before I got married.  At first, it was to document our wedding and our life together.  But, as our family grew, the more I felt the desire to document our lives as we all grow together to become better persons.  I scrap because I love.  Peachy, 11-13-11 

This is a layout I made using the November 01 sketch of the once upon a sketch challenge.  I used Basic Grey Out of Print collection patterned papers.  I also used a prima mask here (the brick wall), and Adirondack acrylic paint dabber in Terracotta and October Afternoon Sprinklers (mist) -Comet Trail from the Rocket Age collection.  I also used mists from the same October Afternoon collection in Night Sky and Robot Blue.  I think it turned out pretty well... :-)
