Sadie Sue
I actually have a scrapbook that is all about Sadie, starting when she was a puppy. I haven't worked on it in a while, but found time to put together a page with a couple pix. This was December, 2004. She was not even one year old. Now she's almost 4! Time has flown by.

What's in a name?
I made the bottom page for Elise awhile ago, and had always intended to make one for Caelyn as well. Last week I did! They each document the meanings of their names. Caelyn is about 1 year old in her photo and Elise is two weeks.
I used some special paper (rice paper?) to mat Caelyn's photo. To get the fibers to stand out when you rip the paper, use a wet Q-tip to outline the edges, then gently pull apart the paper. I glued on an old pearl string I had lying around to make the border unique.
The "E" is cut out from my printer and the rest was printed directly onto the photo.

Purpose of the Blog
My adventures in scrapbooking began back in the '90s when I was in high school. I got into Creative Memories (pretty much the only scraping outlet at the time) and created my first album documenting my senior year.
I continued to scrap with my friends during college and then got really busy finding a job, husband and having a grown-up life! After taking an amazing two-week trip to Italy and taking hundreds of digital pictures, I decided to get back into scrapbooking.
I made a huge 60 page Italy scrapbook which propelled me back into scrapping. A lot has changed since that first book I made! I love the new "style" of scrapbooking, where it is very artistic and creative.
Since most of my photos are stuck on the computer or online, I have slowly (emphasis on SLOWLY) started to scrap some of my favorite memories.
Adding two little girls to our lives has complicated things a bit, (a LOT more photos and a LOT less time) but thanks to my faithful scrappin' gal pals (you know who you are, ladies!!!) my scrapbooking adventures continue.
This blog is really just a way for me to have an online record of the pages I've done and to share them with whoever is interested. I am notorious for "scraplifting" ideas off the net, so please feel free to do the same.
