Yesterday I got some great news, and a fun new adventure into scrapbook land. This is such and opportunity for me to grow as an digital scrapbooker and I look forward to be a part of it. Yay, right now I really LOVE making pages after pages of colorful goodness telling our story. It’s my favorite thing to do to relax and rewind after a busy day at work.

And after printing over 100 of my pages through Persnickety Prints (they do FANTASTIC prints! If ever in need of some, use them ) I LOVE to hold the real pages in my hand, watch them and share them with people around me too. So much better than the layouts I printed out on my own printer (even though they were nice too, in a way, but nothing like the real thing..). Kiddo likes to watch also, but only a little bit. But he understands the concept of taking photos and wanting to do something creative with them, so he’s good. One of these days I’ll teach him how to use Photoshop Elements too, my guess is he will love to edit his own photos   (but then I think I might need to learn how to edit video as well, since he loves to take crazy videos with his camera, and I’m not sure if I’m ready for that just yet…) LOL. I’m just blabbering here.

Anyway, wanted to show you my latest scrapbook page. I made it for the Scrapzilla contest week 3 (links for the others: week 2 and week 1). This week was all about colors and I had a blast with these old photos of MT. He was so cute as a 3 year old

photos from 25.04.2006, words from 17.09.2010:
I love these photos of you, taken one early morning in your Grandma’s kitchen when you were 3 years old. You had so much fun splashing paint and colors all around. And you made such a mess. A good mess. I know you love colors just as much as I do. Today I asked you what your favorite color is and you quickly answered BLUE. But then you added that you really liked YELLOW as well, and I know that yellow (or sometimes more orange) have been a color you’ve loved for a long time. Now as I watch you grow I’m thinking of all the color that will be your life. All the colors that will be you. For I know there will be a lot of it and I wish for you a life filled with colors of all kids. A colorful life where you can be yourself and be proud of who you are, just as I am of you now. So, go on, make your life a colorful living. I’ll be right beside you cheering you on and loving to live colorfully too.
