The Laurel Scrapbook Club meet this weekend I had such a good time. We had nice inspiration around the room complements of the Brock Bridge Elementry school art projects, they really inspired me.
This crop was special because my daughter Shaquaya came with her friends. She is not really into scrapbooking although she appreciates seeing the fnish product especially when she is in the picture. Well I must say I was very suprise these young ladies were naturals, I called my self teaching a class and I learned from them. I gave the basic speech photo safe products, archival, acid free, etc... and they went to work.
Ashley (right side) created a layout about God and how much he means to her and then a layout about Omarion the singer, well that lady has her priorties straight, God first!!
Chanta(left side) did a layout with her baby pics using old pics no cropping, no scanning, no photo repairing.
My daughter Shaquaya (middle) did a page about her and page about me she was not concerned about choosing the right color paper, the theme of the book, the title, she just pick pics that meant alot to her and scrap them and everything else just worked it self out and the result was great pages and lots of fun. ( She didn't want me to take a pic until she is done)
So it made me think what is all the fuss about, have I gotten so caught up in the huppla that I have forgotten what this craft is all about, fun, sharing pics, and preserving great memories. If that wasn't enough of a message I read an artilce in my Scrapbook Etc. a lady who just started scrabooking ask the all important question where do I start? The answer was just start, JUST DO IT, get the most recent pics that mean something to you and start your scrapbook while the memories are still fresh in your head. So I say to you all JUST DO IT, Shaquaya is leaving for college soon, they grow up so fast and as I try to recreate the memories there are many blanks and I wish I had started scrapbooking sooner.
I also meet another mother daughter team with awesome pages and my scrapbook buddies Monique and Lisa came they keep me motivated. Thank you to all those who came to the crop I had a good time and I look forward to cropping with you all again soon.
JUST DO IT!!!!
