Clean & Simple Scrapbooking Challenge

Hello ladies!





What a fun year we have planned here for Memories in Tyme, we want to help you to take YOUR memories and place them in tyme! Scrapbooking is such a fun thing to do, along that it really does help with your stress level, or other emotional things that might be going on as well! In the current economy, a lot of people do not have the extra money to spend on "stuff", but you want to have the same things everyone else is! Let me show you the EASY way, the way you won't have to spend a ton of money!


A few years ago, while in the midst of going through a completely horrendous time, I met Lisa Bearnson at a local Scrapbook Expo that I had went to with my sister. She took 5 minutes of her busy day, gave me her email address and then Deb (my sister) and I left. We had just lost my dad to Altzheimers disease, which was 5 years to the day after my exhusband had committed suicide, so you could understand my emotions! The next February she sent her assistants Angie and Marci out to my home to help me get my head on straight, and see what to do with all of this. I now understand I have a talent, and want to share with others, but the "industry" is so cut throat, that I am doing it as simply as I can! Angie, Marci and I still talk to this day, and I am proud of that. The kindness of strangers, who really have no clue the impact these 3 women made on my life. The book Clean & Simple Scrapbooking was given to me by them, with permission from the Author to do these challenges! Join me while we work simply on our projects!

If you have the book, the layout I recreated is on page 68. The layout I did is titled Hindsight & Memories, things I would have told her if I could. My childhood was not filled with photo's and love, mine was filled with problems, so to deal with the issues at hand, this is the layout that helped me to begin to heal as an adult! I figured out that truly I was ok, and the decisions I made when I was younger was only because of what happened to me as a child. Once those issues were worked out, things began to get better for me.

The challenge is to look at things you might have done differently, or what you would have told her if you would have known that little girl/teenager back then! I am having a hard time uploading my image to the blog, if you visit Memories in Tyme fanpage on facebook, it will be listed there, alongside a few other layouts! Please feel free to recreate yours, and then link me to your layout! I will be giving a prize out at the end of this month, so share your stuff with us!

Enjoy your week ladies, I will be posting another layout/project/card this weekend! Working on Valentines projects, so watch for lots of love being posted and sent your way!
