Scrapbooking Helps Me "Pay It Forward"





One of the most important things you can do in life is to inspire and help others be inspired. I'm blessed with the opportunity to share my love for scrapbooking. I host monthly,  a group of 4-H Scrapbookers. We meet September to May and create beautiful page layouts, cards and small projects. Each month we focus on a technique or page layout. My goal throughout the time I have them is to prepare them for
4-H sponsored events and our two local County Fairs. Sarah, in the first photo won "Best In Show" and 1st place in her age division at the Paso Robles 4-H Field Day. Carissa, Brianna, Kaitlyn, Kierra, Danika, Gillian and Sarah all attended a class hosted by The Shabby Scrapper, one of our local scrapbooking stores. The girls are all very talented and continue to amaze me with their ideas. Many of my ideas and techniques I share with the girls come from my scrappin sisters Adriana (Stampin up Rep) and fellow blogger Paula. They are both never without amazing ideas for me to share. Since I have two boys, all the supplies and ideas I have are mainly geared towards "Boys" but I can always rely on my scrappin sisters to send me girlie ideas and leftover supplies as Adriana has a beautiful daughter (Addy) and Paula mainly makes beautiful girlie vintage items. This is my group from 2011-2012. Stay tuned for this years group, they are just as talented.

Hello fellow bloggers,
I wanted to do a test posting to make sure that the post will appear correctly. So here goes. I am sending holiday wishes to all my fellow crafters.
