Back to my Scrapbooking roots!

While I love making cards this crazy love for paper, ribbon, ink and stamps started with scrapbooking. 

I usually go in chronological order when scrapbooking but I got behind in 2012 and then began jumping in out out of time frames.  I am trying to go back and fill-in the gaps.  I finally did a few pages this past weekend and wanted to share one.

This is from the Senior Dinner for our oldest son, Conor, at our local Hyatt.  It was a fabulous evening and of course I shed a few tears as we watched a 30 minute video of the graduates through the years.  Our sons have gone to a private school and they both have attended there since Kindergarten!  Needless to say to see those small adorable faces at the beginning and the young men and women they are now was a bittersweet journey.  We are about to do this again with our other son in May.  Get those tissues ready!

You can see I used the Top Note die to capture my journaling of the event.  I also used stamps from the Happy Day stamp set.  My Silhouette Cameo e-cutter provided the "Senior Dinner" from Pool Party card stock.  I am a complete novice using the e-cutter this is only my second attempt at it so I am pleased with my achievement here.

Stampin' Up! products are the best I have ever used.  The way they color coordinate everything (ink, paper, ribbon, accessories) makes crafting a truly creative process and not the hunt for the perfect color accessories that go with the paper you selected.  

I hope I inspired you to capture your memories.  I will be sharing more scrapbooking pages and ideas along with my cards as I work to catch up on my scrapbooking.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge!

I haven't got the top note die or the happy day set but I did imagine they would be great for scrapbooking, so think I may purchase them next month. Love the colours and layout. I have been wanting to buy a Silhouette Cameo, and you are making me more tempted to do so, lol. Lovely page, thanks for sharing.
