When Things Slow Down...
I think some of the worst phrases around today are:
It seems like yesterday my baby girl was learning to walk, today she is a junior in college going for Criminal Law. Where did the time go? It was just a short while ago that I was talking to my second little girl about picking up her baby dolls, and now she has three babies of her own! Tomorrow I will take the time to take my boys fishing and camping, next weekend when it's not so crazy, later this summer when things slow down.... but I rarely did. Now they are both grown and living on their own. Where did the summers go? Where are all of those tomorrows? I let them slide right by me disguised as today's.
Do you have little children at home? Today is the tomorrow you were talking about yesterday. It's so cliche and yet so very true! Remember when you brought the baby home and all you wanted was for them to sleep through the night and then they did! Oh how you couldn't wait until they could walk, and they are! You'll find time when they start school, then they started school and you would plan for summers only to find you were planning for school!
This is why I love scrapbooking so much. It is not a fluffy art to entertain bored women. It is a way to capture those precious moments and store them away! You don't have to do it every day. You don't have to journal every moment of your child's life. Even capturing one moment is more than you had yesterday, right?
That next great assignment that comes home from school, slide it into a pocket page with the date on it. That moment is now captured!
Today they are one day older, they are one day closer to being grown and gone. The same goes with our parents and grandparents. Recently we lost two elderly family members. Both of them were important to me and both were on my 'tomorrow list'. Tomorrow I will write to them, tomorrow we will catch up. I have no more tomorrows to share with them. They left yesterday.
Where were they born? What did they love? What would they change? How did they meet their spouse? What brought them joy? I will never know.
Talk to your loved ones. Learn about them. Hold on to your today and to them. Seek them out. Encourage them. Listen to them. Take a photo today. Of what you might ask? Of them doing what they love. Ask them about it. Why do they love it? What brings them joy?
You can't do anything with yesterdays once they are gone. You can rejoice in them if you've captured them! This is what scrapbooking is to me.
I would love to help you get started! Preserving your memories does not have to be time consuming or difficult. It just has to be. There are many styles available now. Digital is an easy way to get your memories saved without storing supplies! Be cautious on where you purchase the albums from though, the purpose of saving these memories is so they last and the reason the cheap guys are cheap, is because they can offer a lesser quality paper and ink. The same is true for the big store brands. Make sure your purchases are meant to last.
Capture today, right now, this moment. What have you been putting off? Right now is a great time to tackle that! Just do it!

Journaling
Journaling is NOT writing a book. It is not documenting every breath, everything they said, everything they did, everywhere they went or everyone they came in contact with. That is just way too much! If you want to do it, more power to you! However, most people just don't have the time.
If you can add three 2-page layouts a year to their album, I think you're doing great! If they are a summer baby, make sure you do birthday, first or last day of school and Christmas. That way you are getting a really good picture of their year. Three layouts a year! I KNOW you can do it!
Format:
Title (usually the event, for example 3rd Birthday, Jakie turns 2 or 1st Day of School)
Photos (1-6 a page)
Journaling (take the time to write a little paragraph or two about the event as the events don't mean much if 50 years down the road no one knows what/when or who was at the event)
That's it. That is the formula for a great layout. Everything else is just frosting.
Title + Photos + Journaling = Captured Memory
Yes, it IS as simple as that! The layout does not have to be ultra fantastic. Even advanced scrappers don't achieve that every time, or even try to. The important part is the preserving the memory. If after that you want to add the fun stuff, go for it. You can use the same formula for digital scrapbooking. I have a quick kit that shows you how to get two full layouts with minimal paper waste, feel free to use it.

I am super excited about the new CM border maker! It is easy enough to use and figure out that my little 8 yo grandson sat down, used it, changed the cartridge and made a bunch of borders! All without much instruction from anyone! There are several styles of border too. What a fantastic idea! They are new out and I can't wait to get mine!!
Be sure to check them out!

Sorting Paper
I really struggle with how to sort my paper. I have too much, and yet, not nearly enough! I have started going through the stacks and will post pics when I'm done. The solid colors aren't the problem. Those are easy, just put red with red, blue with blue, yellow with yellow etc..
The problem is the pattern paper! If it is yellow, orange, and green; does it go with yellow? orange? green? Does it go with Spring colors? Or maybe summer?
How do you sort your paper? I would love to see pics of your scrapspace!
Please join me on FaceBook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/ScrapWithMecom/226237917454800
and share photos, projects, ideas, techniques, solutions and more!
See you there,

Why Scrapbook?
What is scrapbooking? It's gluing photos to any old paper, right? It's putting as many doodads on a page as you can, right? It's cutting photos into odd shapes, removing people you don't like and then ignoring them, right?
Wrong. Scrapbooking is your story, your way! You determine how you want to preserve it. You write your history. You do. No one else is going to do it for you. You have to. There are so many options out there! Just do it! Pick one and go for it.
Are your photos somewhere in the closet? Stored safely on the hard drive to be dealt with later? Either way, what if there is a fire tonight? Where are your precious memories? Wasn't it just yesterday your child was newborn, snuggled in your arms and so full of promise? Wasn't it just yesterday that they were learning to walk? Write? Ride a bike? Sing, dance, or play an instrument? Wasn't it just yesterday that they were graduating? Wasn't it just....... Where did the time go?
It is a passion that God gave me at birth. I've not known what to do with it. I thought it was just for me to learn to scrapbook so I could preserve my memories. Recently though, I've come to realize, that isn't it. He made me a teacher ON purpose! He whispered in my soul a genuine love of other people's stories, of their photos, of their dreams. I am honored to use the gifts God has blessed me with to help others preserve their most precious gifts.
Don't want the clutter? Digital albums are done on the computer. Use the software, pick the template that works best for you, drop your photos right into the spaces already set up, add any embellishments you like and send to the printer! They print and bind the pages into an amazing book. Tada! A beautiful album with the stories behind them.
Like albums, but don't want to measure, cut, and try to figure out where everything goes? Try PicFolios! These wonderful, handy albums let you simply slide your pictures into the little photo safe pockets, add a little journaling and you are done! Yep, it's that easy! PLUS - as a bonus, they are 40% OFF right now!
Love the feel of paper? Want to design every page around your photos? Go for it! ALSO, now you can even design the front cover to your album! How sweet is that? Love that! Imagine your Christmas 2011 album with a family photo from Christmas 2011 right on the cover! How about a baby album, with a pic of the brand new bundle of joy as the cover!
The possibilities are endless. Need help? Need direction? Need solutions? Feel free to contact me! I would love to help.
No matter what the problem is, I'm sure we can find a solution. This is the year! Just do it!

YOUR STORY
This time of year tends to make me feel very nostalgic. I think on those I've loved that are no longer here, those I've known that I no longer visit, and those that have changed me in some way or another. Most especially this time of year, I want to journal my memories and get others to do the same. It never happens. This is the busiest time of year! I have presents to buy, parties to plan and attend, school concerts, church and so much more. I think about it. I want to, I sincerely do. Yet, I don't follow through.
We are the only link the future has to our past. Oh sure, the history books will record that President Bush was in office, that President Obama did this or that and any great natural disasters that occurred. What about the events in your life? Who will record them?
With the technology available today, and at such reasonable prices, it is astonishing that so little is recorded. It is not a rule that you must spell correctly, have perfect grammar or even write it all out in whole sentences. Just write!
Take a photo of your child making cookies. How many more times will that child make cookies with you? How about a photo of Grampa sitting in his favorite chair? How many more times do you think that opportunity will come by? What was it like for him when he was growing up? What did he love? What did he regret? Does he have advice for the next generation? For you?
Take the time. MAKE time. Utilize your video camera and record a conversation with a loved one. Utilize the software out there that lets you tag and organize your photos as soon as you upload them. Take advantage of Skype and the other programs like it to converse and share with loved ones across the miles.
It doesn't have to be covered in ribbons and bows. The writing should not be perfect, it should be personal. Look back on your own past and how quickly it has gone! Tomorrow will be no different. Spend time with those you love. Record what is important. Don't wish; DO.

Busy Year
I haven't had much creative energy over the last couple of years, as my followers have noticed. I would like to get back into scrapbooking again. I've taken on a couple of projects, both related to making cards. I'll be supporting a gal that wants to do a card ministry through church and participating in a craft show this fall. I'm in desperate need of card ideas!
If you have any card ideas, links, or techniques, could you please share them with me? Also, do you prefer busy or simplistic cards?
Thanks!

60 Day Challenge
Good Morning friends! I belong to a great scrapbooking group called ScrapbookingPizzaz and Esther and I were discussing challenges. She was inspired to start a journaling challenge.
This is the challenge:
Write in your journal area that you have chosen, weather it be online, in a book, in WordPad on your pc (or in your blog). Remember it's your choice where you journal...
11/01/2010 - Todays Challenge:
Your thoughts and opinions on this topic: Everything happens for a reason, right?
I absolutely believe everything happens for a reason. I can look around me and see where choices were placed in my life and I acted on them. Some positively and others I regret. Sometimes I regret acting and sometimes I regret not acting on them and not following my gut.
For example, almost seven years ago I was single and going through a hard time. My then teen aged daughters literally bullied me into joining match.com, totally against my will. I 'met' a few guys on there and they seemed nice enough, but none that I really felt a connection with. Mostly, I felt they were just players. My 30 day free trial was over and I was going to just delete my account when my girls absolutely challenged me into actually purchasing a membership. The next day I had a message from another member.
There were major changes in my life that led up to that point. I had to move from everything I knew to a state I knew hardly anything about. I had to end a long term, bad for me relationship and take a huge step of faith. I had to find the confidence to actually meet the man behind the text. I look back now and see that because I took a chance at each fork in the road, I am now where I am. I took a chance on a man I met online, a very scary proposition and one I don't actually recommend, I am happily married and and added a young stepson to the family.
It isn't always easy to see why things happen, sometimes we may never know why. It is always easy to know that God is in control and even when difficult things happen, He is there. I had a difficult childhood. I don't hold any grudges or animosity. It made me the strong, independent, reliable woman I am today.

Family Lost Everything to Fire :(
Hey scrapbooking friends and family, there was a horrible fire here tonight and a family needs your help. Matt and Dana, 3 kids, 5, 4, and 1; lost everything in the fire today. Children left without shoes, no diapers or bottles. Only have clothes they had on. Send gift cards to PHCC 3220... 18th ST S, Fargo, ND 58104 and we will get to Matt and Dana ASAP.
http://www.valleynewslive.tv/artman2/publish/facebook/21423.shtm
I look around me and my family, photos, albums and warm home out of the elements and tonights news just devastates me. I feel so helpless sitting here watching this 62 apt complex burn. What wasn't ruined by fire, will be by the water. It's so sad. Every little bit helps. Please send donations and gift cards to Prairie Heights Community Church (see address above) as this family is a member of my church family.

Scrapbooking - Easy Solutions!
Ladies, I'm going to be honest. The new CM products are amazing! I can show some of them on cam tonight if you want to see. There is the new ink - silky and smooth and it actually shows up! Fabulous for edges, and you know me and inking! LOL
Second is the new Grip and Clip Price (US) $8.50 I love it. You can hold four photos by the inside corner and it has a magnet on the back. You can use it to hold your photos over your many colors of pattern paper to determine which one you like best, without using your fingers and rearranging them 10 times! You just pick them up by the clip and voila! No fingerprints, no rearranging. They are evenly spaced and ready to go! You can also use it to hold photos are recipe cards ON the fridge with the handy magnet. The uses are endless.
My favorite new product is the Page Planner Price (US) $28.00
Wow, I am super excited about this one! In all the years of teaching layouts, the most common complaint is that people don't feel creative. They struggle with the layout. Now you have tangible sketches WITH measurements AND ideas/examples! All in one purchase. This purchase comes with four sturdy templates and an idea book. The great thing is, you can use one template on both pages and on the next set, turn them! Using the same template on the third set of layouts turn it again and get a whole new layout! The idea book even comes with directions and the templates have marks on them to show you which way to use them to create the layout given!! I did buy this so if anyone wants to see it, just let me know.
Last, but not least, is the digital scrapbooking. Wow, I know how I'm going to catch up on 30 years of photos! The new software is super easy to use, lets me layer and edit photos, and comes with digital embellishments! I've been so impressed. I drag and drop my photos onto the page either where I want them or using the pre-designed pages available. There are quotes and poems in there too. When I have the layouts like I want them, I simply upload the book to CM and it is printed, bound and sent back to me! How awesome is that? So many **solutions** that I can hardly contain my excitement!
The links probably won't work, it's an annoying quirk of the CM site. Once you get there, if the links aren't working, just search under new products for the Page Planner and under tools for the clip.
Be sure to check them out and come ScrapWithMe!! :)

Second is the new Grip and Clip Price (US) $8.50 I love it. You can hold four photos by the inside corner and it has a magnet on the back. You can use it to hold your photos over your many colors of pattern paper to determine which one you like best, without using your fingers and rearranging them 10 times! You just pick them up by the clip and voila! No fingerprints, no rearranging. They are evenly spaced and ready to go! You can also use it to hold photos are recipe cards ON the fridge with the handy magnet. The uses are endless.
My favorite new product is the Page Planner Price (US) $28.00
Wow, I am super excited about this one! In all the years of teaching layouts, the most common complaint is that people don't feel creative. They struggle with the layout. Now you have tangible sketches WITH measurements AND ideas/examples! All in one purchase. This purchase comes with four sturdy templates and an idea book. The great thing is, you can use one template on both pages and on the next set, turn them! Using the same template on the third set of layouts turn it again and get a whole new layout! The idea book even comes with directions and the templates have marks on them to show you which way to use them to create the layout given!!

Join me for FUN!
am hosting an online Creative Memories Photo Solutions PARTY! Anyone is welcome to make a purchase and join the fun. Be sure to visit me at
http://www.mycmsite.com/sites/justdoit
To see all of the wonderful and photo safe products available. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me - anytime.
I highly recommend the photo safe POWER SORT SYSTEM. Store your photos, organized, in small compartments that make it easy to grab and go or scrap at your own space. For just $28.50 you can have your photos stored AND sorted in an easy to use, photo safe and convenient system.
I hear all the time in my group over the last four or five years how scrappers really struggle with page layout ideas. I base my weekly classes on that one problem all the time! This break through new product will make scrapping fun and easy! Try the new PAGE PLANNERS! For just $28 you get easy to use, sturdy, templates WITH measurements! Plus an idea book!! I am super excited about this!
Seriously, I recommend these to all new scrapbookers. Starting right is so much easier the winging it and learning how much we did wrong. With so many years experience, not only scrapping my own photos, but helping so many others with theirs, I've definitely learned how to do it right and what doesn't work.
These products work. Looking for a great gift? One that keeps on giving, is practical and affordable? Here you go. Know a new mom, bride, or graduate? Perfect.
Have you seen the new albums? I most especially love the new embossed ones. Wow.
There is so much more. Be sure to check it out!
