This month I turn 40. Ten years ago I created an album all about me and I decided every decade I would make a new one. As I begun this project I've realized how much things have changed in 10 years. I'm really glad that I am documenting who I am today so that I can look back in another 10 years and be amazed with all the Lord has done.

and video I created with a walk through of my first album and the progress on this one...
I took a "Spring Break" and decided to scrap with some of the goodies I've purchased. I love My Mind's Eye and finally chose to buy a few pieces of the On Trend collection. Here is what I created with those pieces.
I also created a process video! So this is a silent movie right now as I haven't figured all this video stuff out yet, but it is a start. Let me know what you think of the video so I can tweak things for the next one.
So this year has brought a lot of scrapbooking firsts to me - I'm hoping the year continues to bring even more of these neat opportunities!
One of these firsts was I was asked to be a Featured Artist at Scrapbook News and Review. I was thrilled at the opportunity, but I was asked to send a tutorial on something; it could be a picture tutorial or a video. So, I turned to my dear friends at Memorable Seasons (where I am now the DT co-coordinator, another first) for suggestions of what I could give a tutorial about. Well the one thing that they kept mentioning was my style and use of white space. As I thought about their comments I had the HUGE brainstorm to not only talk about my style and white space, but to make a video! Yep, I made a video and posted it to YouTube and everything, I am so very proud of myself. Course what you don't know is how many times I recorded the thing and what all goofy things I did! Yikes!
So here is my video, yes it is a first so don't judge it too much, but I hope you enjoy!
I need to share something that is very strong on my heart. I don't normally write these kind of posts, but I've really been thinking a lot this week due to some awesome women I have met through Scrapping Everyday Miracles DT call and I need to obey what the Lord has put on my heart.
Each of you have your own beliefs and values, some might be similar to mine and some might be different; just as each of us scrap in different ways and tell our story differently through our art. But I don't want there ever to be a time that you my dear blog friends say - I never knew, why didn't someone tell me the truth?
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." That is the whole truth - to have your sins forgiven, your past wiped completely away, you must believe that Jesus is God's Son and that He died on the cross for your sins and then ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart. I don't want to force my beliefs on you, but I needed to tell you so that at anytime you need help you will remember my blog and come searching for this post.
I am so thankful for each and every one of you that comes by my blog and I love getting your comments they mean so much to me. Thank you for allowing me to share my heart with you today.
