Hello Ladies. Those of you who follow and read my blog might remember that my daughter asked me to make a scrapbook about myself. Well I have been working on it slowly. As a matter of fact it is taking me longer then it should. Well I made a new page today for two reasons. One reason is for the book that I want to make my daughter and the second reason is for my very first digital challenge for Soul Scrappers. The challenge is called All about Me. If you have some free time today I hope that you will join me. Doing the challenge for "About Me" is a whole new way of my looking at how I scrap a page about myself. I will explain after I show you the page.
First I am putting it up in a smaller format so that you can see the whole thing without it being chopped off.
Here it is larger
To make my page I used the MDS program from Stampin'UP!. No big surprise there right? :) I used the the Write Stuff designer papers, Write stuff embellishments, Greatest Moments stamps and Torn Edges stamps. I used several different fonts to do my journaling. Okay, the thing that I have done differently with this page about me that I have never done before is I really thought about it. In this case I thought about whyit is I walk. As a rule I just add some pretty paper add my photo and then just add the date and where the photo was taken. I love that I am learning how to journal more personally about my photos. Make sense? After I made this page I knew that I would not be going back to journaling my pages the same way that I have been for years.
Personal Ramblings
This will be brief because I do not have lots to chat about today. I t was 48 degrees here yesterday. A perfect day to go walking expect that we had a rain storm. So no walking for me. We had lots of rain and will remain in a flood watch until 7 AM. I hope my brook is not very high. I wont know until it is light out. But it is over for now. Today when I go to PT it will be 40 degrees. Yay! I know that it will be freezing cold again soon but for a brief time I will enjoy the warmer temps as long as I can. Spring will be here before we know it. Hooray! So that is it from me today. I sure hope that your having a wonderful week. I will return when I have something else to share with you.
Stay warm, stay safe and Smile. :)
a wonderful page!

Lovely work :)
Thing with doing anything with photos is you start to think of things connected with the photo and you go on a whole new journey :)
Hope you are well :)
