I recently attending a wedding for an already married couple that was more about jumping through some religious hoops than anything else.  They had had a secular marriage several years ago, but found themselves needing to have a religious one.  Both of them described the evening as an ordeal.  Nevertheless, I made them an album to commemorate the event.  Last night, they told me that the album revolutionized how they felt about the wedding.  It made them smile when they looked at the album.  It gave them fond memories.  Can you imagine that?  A scrapbook changed the entire nature of that event for them.  How lovely!  If ever there were a demonstration of the power of scrapbooking, I think this is it.

I just received an e-mail from Somerset Memories, requesting two layouts!  Yay!  They're among my favorites, so I'm off to get them ready for the USPS!

Finally, I rarely blend my real life with my craft life, but I thought you all might enjoy a little video interview I did about my theatre company.  Here's the link.

Thanks for stopping by!

Neat kraft-designs :) And congratulations on the pubs!! :D

The layouts look great, I really like the kraft papers. Congrats on Somerset.

Thats cool about Somerset! I love their mag. I'll keep my eyeball peeled for your LO's.

I was wondering something. I'm not real into digital because of the idea that I'd spend so much time working on something and only be able to look at it on the computer. What do you plan on doing with all your digi LO's? Or you just like keeping them on your computer?

Love the Lo "Love this photo" sea LO's are my fav.

Ooh! Great layouts! (I especially love the felt flowers...) Congratulations on the pubs!

those are so cool - I love the felt flowers!!!
