Feature Project Mini Album For Creating Made Easy

Well after a traumatic couple weeks full of death and loss, 

it feels good to create again. 

Not life is not back to normal but it is a good way to cope, creating through

the pain, I mean that is why I began scrapbooking, to cope with my past

and pain, so this is my therapy. 

This is actually the Creating Made Easy August 2016 Kit

Featured Project of the month! I love the colors and style of this kit. 

It was so fun to get to paint and create with the Mixable Album plus 

use the gorgeous Authentique papers in the kit. 

Every kit has a step by step instruction sheet for this album, and I am so

happy to share how I created it. 

I know you will love this Creating Made Easy August Kit just as much as I did!

Be sure to grab yours because it WILL sell out and it's a great deal!

Much love and many crafty blessings to you

~Scrapbooking: What It Means To Me- Headed Forward And Looking Back~

Good morning friends, 

When I first became a scrapbooker it was a HUGE no no 

to scrapbook the pain, abuse, guilt, and anything not pretty in life.

Of course not being one to follow protocol I basically gave the finger to 

everyone who told me my work was not good enough and too taboo

and scrapbooked whatever was in my mind. 

It was the single best move for therapy in my life I can think of. 

That behind writing a "book" of all my memories of abuse and 

sending it to everyone I knew so I would not hide behind those secrets anymore. 

These pages brought back many memories so I thought 

I would share with you today instead of my normal new projects. :) 

I was cleaning up my computer this week and ran across these

old layouts from 2011.

This was a layout about the book I wrote purging myself of my abuse. 

And this was a layout to remember I am in fact strong and it's ok to 

be a little crazy too! LOL The whole layout sort of is ME. 

The words seen here "It's never really safe to be nostalgic about something

until you're absolutely sure there's no chance of it coming back" was a

constant reminder to myself that it's ok to look back at your family and the

life you had- because there is no chance of it coming back...I am surrounded by 

good now and all that pain and abuse is behind me....it's ok to look back but don't get 

sucked back into that revolving door of pain. 

I am super thankful for what scrapbooking has done for my life. 

Thas is scrapbooking to me!
