Hi pad scrappers!!I recently participated in a self-portrait challenge on Instagram. Each day had a photo prompt (feet, hands, face forward, full body, half face, and eyes closed). I took a selfie photo using these prompts and wrote about my thoughts on the challenge on my instagram feed.I'm now working my way through using those photo prompts and the journaling I wrote to create scrapbook layouts. Today I'm sharing my first one using the prompt: Feet.This prompt was a little different as I decided to take three photos instead of one.I cropped these photos into squares and created my layout, using room for journaling under the photos.

Oh Brother! (Sibling pages that inspire!
"The Rule of Sibs: If your sibling gets something you want, you (1) try to take it; (2) break it; or (3) say it’s no good.” – Patricia FlemingI grew up with only one sibling, She was 10 years older than me...almost to the day.

No one can make me laugh like her. I have spit more drinks out in her presence than I care to admit. She's awesome.Sibs - you gotta love 'em. Do you have any? Families can look differently from house to house. Sometimes you are born with siblings and sometimes the neighborhood friend that is at your house day after day, you just adopt them as your own.These awesome sibling pages can be found right … [Read more...]
