Scrapping 101 Basics

At last I finished the layouts from Jamie's Scrapping 101: Basics class. I suppose I was waiting for the perfect photos that would compliment Jamie's lovely designs. My three beautiful grandchildren are always willing subjects for my camera and a constant source of inspiration. Although I have a photo printer, not everyone has the ability to print photos from home. Jamie's designs conveniently use standard 4x6 photos that can be printed at your local Walmart, Target, or other photo processing location.

Her layouts usually involve hand-written journaling, which is out of my comfort zone. I don't like my handwriting and prefer to use my computer to prepare printed journaling. My grandchildren will inherit my photo albums someday. They will appreciate a story written in my own hand-writing, I suppose, just like I appreciate notes hand-written by my grandmothers who are long gone. If I may offer any advice, it's to embrace your hand-writing :)

I hope you'll find inspiration in Jamie's layouts. Remember...journal in your own hand-writing. Your family will appreciate it!
