Scrapbooking Monday: Why I CREATE

Do you ever take some time to slow down.
Well, last week I sort of had to. My body was NOT cooperating with MY rhythm so to find HIS rhythm I SLOWED DOWN

Best Choice Ever... This happened while I slowed down.

I went back to one of my "at-your-own-pace" scrapbooking classes by Simple Scrapper (Scrapbooking School) and made this layout. The challenge was to make a layout with a recent photo of me and journaling WHY I scrapbook. 

I used a combination of stamps I LOVE to bring phrases that inspire me. There are many things I love about creating. The beauty of it, loving life, displaying my faith,

the stories, the calling to be BRAVE. 

I sort of follow straight lines all through out. With banners, with the paper, the washi tape. Then added pretty details. I ALWAYS LOVE including doilies in my layouts (I added metallics), totally love enamels lately so I added some stars and that black mini sequin trim, oooh. My fave! 

I am finding new ways to HIDE MY JOURNALING. 

I love doing it. Love having those little secrets hidden inside the page for all to find later when I am not around. They may need to wait MANY years, cause I plan to be around till about 120! y/o!!
