I am scrapbooking again and finishing up some older albums. This is a page from 1988, using a sketch from the february sketch for a yahoo group called scrapfromyourstash. I used only what was available and some of my scraps. I didn't use anything new or purchased recently. I like the feeling I have when I can do that, and have it serve a purpose. My thinking, Then I can buy something new from Stampin' Up to replace it!
I had found these photos of my children and Christmas and scrapbooked them this week and then, couldn't find the Christmas album. This is a Christmas from 1989. And for our family, it chronicles a house fire, we had on Dec 21st od that year. The wall shows the destruction from an improperly installed fireplace. It was the first time we had used it. We were stuck in an insurance nightmare. They would only pay for it to be reinstalled as it was before the fire. But that was not code or safe. but they would not pay for the extra needed to make it code or safe. So it became a wall, a plain ordinary wall. No one was hurt, it just took forever to redo everything on both floors. And this is my scrapbook page. That adorable little girl is now 21 and the sweet baby boy is 18. Time flies.
This is a beautiful card made by Rita Metz metz@2access.net I love the sparkles she has added.
