Hey, Ya'll,

I am so human and time goes so fast! Can anyone relate? : ) I try to get an e-zine sent out once a month but November whizzed by and here I am at the beginning of December. I'm hoping to go ahead and send this out and call it November and then send another one later in the month and call it December. Hopefully...well, I wrote this a week ago...at this point, I'm going to call this December and just skip November. : )

Hope you enjoy the scrapbook layouts this month!

For Member’s Only…


When you subscribe to The Real-Life Scrapbooker’s Resource, you get access to all of the back issues. Every issue is filled with exclusive layouts and ideas. You won’t find any of the layouts or card designs anywhere* on free-scrapbooking-ideas-and-videos.com so it’s a FREE Member’s Only area. Every month you can count on fresh, free ideas for your scrapbooking! And here’s another thought. Every month, put the new issue in a folder in your email software and when you sit down to scrapbook, you’ll have tons of ideas right at your fingertips.

* Disclaimer: I don't put links to any of the layouts or cards from my e-zine issues but search engines do find them...including my own on this site. I've decided to keep it this way 'cause it helps my traffic. How's that for a "real-life" disclaimer for you? : ) There's also 1 set of my YouTube videos where I show a good bit of a paperbag scrapbook that I featured in an e-zine edition. I do the very best I can to give you fresh content each month. Thanks!

Home School Skating Party 1991

Wow! I love scrapbooking old photos...from my childhood. Remembering where I come from is good therapy for me. It helps me to reflect on God's mercy and things I've learned and how to grow in the future.

I was able to remember most of the names of the people in the photos...the moms and the kids. I went ahead and did a lot of journaling on the back side and listed names mostly in order of where they were standing in the photo. I included little tid bits about the people and how I got to know them or things that stood out to me.

During those years, I wrote articles for our local paper about our home school group. I found one of them and included it...not sure how it survived all those years? : )

The burgundy strip and the polka-dot strip are patterned paper. I used the same burgundy paper to mat the photo. The 3 circles in the upper left are made with my circle punches. As a finishing touch of embellishment, I glued on the blue bling.

Supplies:

Background and polka-dot paper: Cloud 9 Design Specialty Paper Pack

Stamps: Technique Tuesday - Infinite Wisdom/Times to Treasure and Just Picked. The arrow stamp is from a little mini pack of cling stamps from Michaels - their house brand I think?
