Growing up in the south, I harbor a strong faith, devotion to family, and commitment to excellence. I am the proud mother of a beautiful baby boy, and wife to the most amazing man. We have been married for nearly eleven years. I am a middle school teacher, and am currently fulfilling the role of curriculum specialist. I love my life and my career. Just like most southern belles, I take my time with everything. That includes scrapbooking. I am new to scrapbooking, and became interested in it after the very premature birth of our son, Chase. Born at just 25 weeks, I felt it necessary to document his journey and fight. He will be a year old December 29th. And I thank God for him everyday!
So, I am new to the whole scrapbooking scene. If there is anything that I have learned from being a teacher, it is be prepared. I stocked up my scrapping repetoire with everything a scrapper needs to get started. I began with a checklist:
Cricut Expression
Cartridges
Paper for every occasion and holiday
Crop-A-Dile
Embellishments
Stamps and ink
Embossing materials
Cuttlebug
O.K. all items present and accounted for. Now what? I had all that I thought I needed. All these items seem to be main stays on the other Bloggers' sites and YouTube tutorial videos. I had to start somewhere. So, instead of the beginning, I started with Halloween. I figured taking on Chase's birth scrapbook would be very detailed and require a lot of creativity and craftsmanship that I had not yet mastered. So, I started small. I made a tissue paper roll mini album for my mom documenting Chase's first Halloween.
Here is my product. This blog will be my journal of things created. I hope to see growth in my endeavors over time. We shall see what comes to pass!
