The Reason WHY I scrapbook....

It is with a very heavy heavy heart that I write this blog post... My Grandma Joyce.... Passed away in her sleep on Saturday October 23 2010.....My Grandma was such a wonderful women of faith and you could always count on seeing a smile on her face and of course full of love for each and everyone of her family and friends.... We are all going to miss her more than anyone can ever imagine.....I am so happy to have had my Grandma in my life she taught me so much.....and for that I will never ever forget her...Grandma has suffered from Alzheimer's Disease....and is now in heaven with all of her brothers, sisters and friends and of course Grandpa....

I scrapbook...so my kids will learn all about family... because this disease has robbed them from knowing who she was.... but through scrapbooking I can share that with them through the pictures and my memories of her....

Love you Grandma...XO

October 2010 Scraptures Reveal

I seem to be saying this every 10^th of the month…but I so can't believe how quickly it arrives…. So…here is my reveal of the Scrap~tures October 2010 Kits… I loved the colours of the SEI Moonrise paper… and all the added extras this scrapbook kit sure was full of fun…….here is a layout I did with using a Creative Scrappers Sketch Number 123 http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/2010/09/sketch-123.html

And another Layout…. The sayings in the kit said it all when it came to the picture I took of my son Kevin….

I really loved the metal embellishments that also came in this kit… almost too pretty to use… so instead of putting it in a layout…I saw this bookmark on another site and thought mmmm this is a good way for me to see this embellishment all the time… so I created one myself….all I did was loop a ribbon through the centre and tied a knot on each end...and done... a bookmark...

I also created a card using the SEI Moonrise paper and then incorporated the Stamp Set that was in the Card Kit….here is the card…yupp I created my own embellishments…using the microbeads and some glue dots….

Up next is a layout I created with yet another sketch using the Card Kit……this sketch was from PageMaps in the October 2010 release ..... http://www.pagemaps.com/

I still have tons of product left to use in both kits… so stay tuned…for more layouts and Ideas…..
