Doing the Butterfly

Hello!  Next in the series "Jumping in the Pool" is "Doing the Butterfly".  I've created another sketch and put together 3 layouts following the sketch on different rotations.  I titled this blog "Doing the Butterfly" because upon reviewing the layouts - they all had a butterfly tucked in somewhere!

Jumping in the Pool

Well, today it is 80 degrees in Florida.  Such a lovely pre-spring day!  I know many of you are snowed in, but let this blog carry you away to a warmer climate!  Today we are going to begin a series called "Jumping in the Pool".

For first time and new croppers, I remember how anxious I was to just do something, to make a page, to show something for the money I've invested in scrapbook supplies and tools.  So, today we are going to jump in!  I have created the following layout and will share with you the step-by-step directions on how to put it together.  It really is very simple, so don't be intimidated if you're just beginning!

Baby Steps

Baby Steps… Yep I am going to try this blogging thing one baby step at a time.  Kind of like scrapbooking.  One doesn’t create a fabulous layout on the first try.  It takes some inspiration, some vision, a bit of creativity and a lot of faith that those bits and pieces of paper and ribbon, thread and paint, flowers and bling; and whatever else can be stuck to a paper will fit themselves together like a beautiful puzzle and in the end you will have something to be proud of.  Likewise, I am hoping I can craft my thoughts and words together in a way that bespeaks my passion for scrapbooking.  I’m gonna get my crop on!!!
