Memory Lane

In working on my March 30th class for Remember Me, I was wandering through the store one day and spotted the new stitchable Bazzil cardstock and I knew immediately what pictures I wanted to use with it. The paper just called to me to use pictures of my sister and me at various times in our lives - from about age 5 and 3 to present. Looking through all my childhood pictures in search of the pictures that I wanted for this layout was a definate walk through memory lane.

In speaking to my sister about the project, before I could even tell her which pictures I had choosen, she told me that her favourite early pictures of us were two of the three ones that I had already printed!

I chose the daisy design in the spring green colour and then added a couple of other papers - some Bazzill and some others.

This new cardstock comes in a number of different variations - with punched hearts, stars and daisies along the one edge - just begging to have different treatments done to enhance the designs. Each design also comes in a number of different colours - so the project ideas are endless.


I had fun experimenting with all the different things that you can do with this paper - you can embroider or stitch using the punched design; you can use ribbon or yarn or embroidery floss; you could do the 'string art' type of treatment; you could just put a contrasting paper underneath for a subte design; and on and on!

As much as I love working on my chronological family albums, being able to do a layout like this that just 'speaks' to me and inspires me to try new things is great too! I have recently started another album that is 'All About Me' - this album will have many different layouts in it - some might be in chronological order, but others will walks down memory lane that encompass pictures from all different times and reminds me that I still have lots and lots of pictures to capture in scrapbooking.

Happy Scrapping!
