Project 52

These pages are the first two prompts from Project 52 sponsored by My Memories Blog.  I've enjoyed the weekly prompts and have actually verbalized/written some truths about myself that I knew, but really hadn't honored.  For the whole of Project 52, I will be using Black 2 Basics, Classic Beauty and Capturing Memories as my main scrap papers and elements.  However, I'll also add embellishments from other digital sets.

Boo's Family Scrapbook

This is one page in a scrapbook for my husband, Boo.  He has had several strokes and needs relatively uncluttered pages.  I will include some simple journaling.

Mom and Freddie, Christmas 2012

This is another page in Mom's Christmas Scrapbook.  Mom and Freddie acted like the nuts they are.

I Scrap...

This is part of the 40 Day Scrap Challenge.  I think this is the second day.  I found out about it after it had begun.  So now I'm playing catch up.  This particular challenge is a real challenge for me.  I'm planning to do each of the pages in Paint Shop rather than the much simpler scrapbooking program I have.  The biggest challenge is that the journaling prompts are so personal.  Examining my reasons for scrapbooking, for being an artist (Me, an artist?!)  have definitely stretched me.  This should be a great learning experience for me.

My Memories Speed Scrap, September 16th

This is a page for a Christmas scrapbook of old family photos for Christmas this year.  Well, this particular photo is only two years old.  That's still old, right?  Mother has so many photos that she treasures, but never enjoys because they're stuffed away in a drawer.  One of my goals is to give her scrapbooks of old photos to help her remember the good times and of new photos to show off her grandchildren...and Bootsie, her cat.  Besides, Mother has a houseful of things.  I never really know what to get for her.  Gifts from the heart are definitely best!

Personal Challenge

One of my goals this year was to finally make scrapbooks with all the wonderful family photos I've scanned.  I have begun after a brief detour into our family history.  I've discovered just how much I don't know...or don't remember.  So, I'm reconnecting with lots of relatives and recording their memories.  What seemed like a chore for a while has become a wonderful treat!
