Hi everyone! Welcome to my first challenge post for
Our challenge for you today is to make a layout all about your scrapbooking. How and when did you get into it? What you love about it? Etc.
I started scrapbooking in 1997 when my first son was born. I knew the minute I got pregnant that I wanted to document everything! I love the way it helps to keep all of my family memories alive and when I'm older and can't remember my children will be able to look back and know what we did and how we loved. My oldest is 23 now and I have a 21 and 18 year old but I still love scrapping all our memories and even getting some goofy photos in my albums.
I've been playing a lot lately with mixed media products and I knew I wanted to frame this photo of my daughter with some paint. So I used clear gesso on my background cardstock and then used two different paints. I also took a small paintbrush in each color and did some splatters.
I did add some white gesso over the painted area to tone the color down just a bit. It was over powering the painted flowers and I wanted them to stand out on their own.
Now it's your turn. Head on over to

This is one of my favore pictures of my daughter. We were on a school field trip and she just sat there listening to her music lost in her thoughts.
Here's a close up of some of the splatters. I love how they came out.
Now it's your turn. Head on over to
