Keeping it simple



I've noticed I've been getting into a habit of not journaling on my layouts. I get used to making fancy pages to showcase products at work which is nice, but I mustn't forget the reason I started scrapping in the first place: to record memories for my family. Of course I love the challenge of creating for other reasons and within criteria. It's important that I also make time to create layouts for my family albums. They don't have to be fussy or loaded with heaps of product. They just need to capture the moment and how I felt about it. These pages might not be the most technical, but they sure are the most fun! I love to think of what Holly will say when she looks back on them in decades to come.

Gorgeous!! I am not a huge journaller on layouts (bad habit I know) although when I have been making Xavier's album, I have been writing a little note to him on almost every page. I cant wait until he is older and we can go back and read all the things I have written!
