One thing that really motivated me this past week was Write. Click. Scrapbook. And their week dedicated to using your stuff. It really got me thinking about using up my stash. One thing that particularly struck home was this post where she asks you to look at your older items and products you use. It made me remember that I started scrapbooking to preserve memories for my kids. That's it. Once I remembered that, I felt like a weight had been lifted. Yes I like my pages to look pretty and yes it's a crafty outlet for me but that's more what my card making and paper crafting is for. The scrapbooking is more about the memories. So, I'm breezing right on through these layouts and couldn't be happier about it!
Sorry for the long post today! Hope you stayed with me and thanks for stopping by. See you tomorrow with, YEP another layout!
glad you had a wonderful and productive weekend! don't you love it when that happens!

Your layout is perfect.
That's so cool! I'm glad you found some motivation and just got down to business. It is about the memories and it would be sad if they were forgotten. Love the layered paper strips on your page! :)
