this is why i scrapbook: official entry post

i'm so happy that i decided to take part is shimelle.com's little adventure this month. i first wrote about it here and again here, and today's post is my completed mini album. this was such a fun album to create and i really love how it turned out - lots of meaningful photos, lots of bright colors, and it accurately reflects why i love of scrapbooking and taking photos. i hope you enjoy seeing it here as much as i enjoyed making it!!



journaling: this is my attempt to explain the reasons why...why i carry my camera with me everywhere i go, why i have to visit a new craft or scrapbook store every chance i get, why i spend hours reading scrapping and design blogs, and why i sometimes stay up until the wee hours of the morning playing with scissors, pretty paper, ribbons and brads....



to tell my story

stop by again tomorrow to see my completed album!!

mini book....this is why....

have you seen this new project on shimelle.com?? if not, definitely check it out and make sure to watch her video about why she scrapbooks - which is the basis of this little adventure she's hosting on her site until the end of january. i love this idea and have actually been thinking about doing something similar in the form of a scrapbook page. i think a single layout would be good, but a whole mini book about why i scrapbook would be fab-u-licious. so count me in! and i've already gotten my cover page completed as i just so happened to have a 7 gyspies 5 x 7 chipboard album sitting right on my desk!





i'm excited to see how this turns out - both mine and shimelle's! and have you asked yourself why you scrapbook? have you scrapped your reasons? if not, this might be a great time....
