Papercraft Haven and More

So, do you scrapbook your fur babies, like we do ours?  This is Ty - our 15.5 year old awesome baby girl!  She is not going to be with us much longer, which is really hard to believe!  Through the years, Ty has always spent time with me while I have been creating - sitting on my stuff where ever I am at!  It will be really hard when we finally loose her - watching her right now has been really hard on the family - she simply has been our little girl!    My cats have an album of their own - of pages through out the time they have been alive and with us!  Ty has only had one set of kittens, then we had her fixed - Hank and Bear are our "boys"!!!  What about you - do your fur babies have an album of their own???  Here is a few tips to help you start your own album for your fur babies:   Do you have a large amount of photos, or small amount?  This will help in deciding how large your album should be!   ...

As you can tell, I haven't been blogging much...just when I think I have things all figured out, something else happens that makes me stand back and re-think again!!!  This, again, has been one of those times.  Memories in Tyme was started a long time ago - and through it all, I have moved from Utah to Colorado to California to Nevada.....only to start up and rebuild it all again...  Memories has been a part of what I wanted to do in life for so long.....  I honestly can't think of life without my little "business"!    That said - I do apologize for not being consistent in my posts - as I have told you before, I simply have no sense of time LOL!  I am doing more behind the scenes planning, thinking about and designing...but quite simply, I am going to be concentrating more on "what" all I want to do with Memories in Tyme for the future!!!  That in which I am keeping - will have a place here, until I end up moving over to the web site official...

Thanks to Stampin' Up, I recently discovered Project Life style scrapbooking, and have really fallen in LOVE with it!  There are a lot of things you can do with this style of scrapbooking, including ways to save money as you go!  The kit I am using (above), along with the accessory pack (below) helped to get me started, and allowed me to see the fun little accessories I could use with my pictures!   Now, don't get me wrong - I still love doing mini albums and things, but this style, simply allows me to document where I was, and how far we have came, and the journey along the way!  I really wish I would have found this sooner than I did (though I know it has been around....) and gotten started sooner!   Some ideas right off the top of my head that you can use for this style of album: If you have an event such as a birthday party, bridal or baby shower, anniversary, wedding...find the perfect kit you can use - add photos to, and leave some around for gu...

So.... a little over 2 years ago, I lost someone I loved.....my niece Stephanie!  She was young - just had a birthday and either turned 32 or 33...went to sleep one morning after talking to her husband she was separated from, and didn't wake up a few hours later.  My life that day changed in more ways than I like to talk about, I hate to think of her children and what they are going through...let alone her parents.  Steph wasn't just my niece, she was my confidant - that one person who got me in life...she moved in with me right after I moved back home to Utah because she was not going to live with anyone other than family...  I lost a lot by moving her in with me, but wouldn't change it for the world....and I hope she knows that!  Right before she passed away, she asked me if I would create her 2 altered notebooks, one for her and one for her best friend/sister from another mother Jessie.  Jessie has epilepsy - and Steph's favorite color is purple........
