Scrapbooking again

Thanks to encouragement from my friend Tanya, I recently started scrapbooking again. I've had pictures printed and ready to go for a few years (eek).

Here's one of my most recent pages... Mother's Day 2012.

I create scrapbooks in chronological order, and am working on 2012. That's the year my mom passed, so it's been a hard one to create. Yet I'm reminded of so many wonderful memories even from that year. Despite her health, she was happy and smiling and enjoying life until she just couldn't anymore. I miss her so much.

And here's a page I made for my friend, Tanya. We've know each other since 2000. I'm so blessed to have her in my life!

Wow, some of the products have changed since I last worked on our memory books. Some of my new favorite products are:
Distress Oxide Ink Pads
Fun stencils and stamps
Nuvo drops

And I've always enjoyed working with paper flowers, embossing powder, rub-ons, and lots of fun brads and eyelets. We're lucky to live near an amazing store called Affordable Scrapbooks. If you don't have a local store, make sure to check out Scrapbook.com!
