Hello there!!!  I'm so happy to be playing in my scrapbook room again.  It seems like it has been forever.  I made another word book today.  I'm debating whether to give it to my mom or to sell this one at the breast cancer awareness show I'm doing next month.

The word is "Survivor".  I used the Pink Journey Cartridge for the titles, the Cricut design studio software for the Word book, and all the embellishments I had lying around here.   I'm thinking to do a couple more books with the words:  "courage", "strength", "hope", and "together" on it.  I thought about doing the word "Cancer", but these women that go through this are more than their disability. 

I really enjoy making these word books, so I'm going to come up with a new line of books for Mother's Day, Father's day, Graduation, and some other themes. 

Let me know what you think.  Have a great day.

Good Morning!!!  Yesterday I decided to make a mini breast cancer survivor chipboard albumn in honor of my mom.  She was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2006.  She's been through all the chemo and she is still living with all the side effects, but I'm just greatful that she's still here with us.

I went to Michael's the other day and I found all these great little chipboard books for only a $1.00.  I wasn't exactly sure what to do with them, but I knew I wanted to try to make a scrapbook out of them.   I removed the ring, traced the shape on to my paper and then I  cut it out.  I tried to cheat and do more than one piece of paper at a time on my second try, but I found out you can't do that.  Then I marked where the hole would be and punched it out with my Crop-a-dile.  I got all the pages covered in paper, then I went back through and added a 4x4 mat and the stickers.  When I flipped through it, it looked kinda plain, so I went back through and put on some bling--those little crystal rinestone things. 

I think she's going to love it.  But I don't think she's going to want to see those pictures again or re-live those moments again.  I believe that we still need to erect milestone markers in our lives to remind us of all that God has brought us through so that we never forget to celebrate the blessings of today.  Seize the day, enjoy spending time with your family this year, and create something that will bring a smile to someone.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!
