Me?! DIVA of the week? Wasn�t thinking of that at all!! As a matter of fact I thought that Darcy was asking me for help with the theme challenges! I�m very flattered!! THANK YOU!!
Gosh, I began scrapbooking several years ago! My cousin invited me over for a Stampin� Up! workshop in 1999 and I was hooked! I was so hooked I signed on to demonstrate in January of 2000 and have been doing it ever since! When I hosted my very own workshop, I got introduced to the scrapbooking, but it was really plain and simple. For instance I would roll a wheel on paper and throw pictures on it! Hehehe! After time, my scrapbooking has grown in leaps and bounds!
I became lucky when I stumbled onto the SCS website and found so many cool ideas. I didn�t know much about the scrapbooking forum until the end of last year and I really took off on the challenges! I was hooked and I�ve learned so many neat tricks, cool ideas, layouts and even listened to people say what works best or HOW they�ve done something and I really try and follow what I�ve learned on here. I�m always in awe at all the talented scrapbookers on here�I have so many favorites, I might as well say most everyone on here inspires me! I�m always looking for something new to do or add to my scrapbooking. I usually place the pics where I want, find my colors, then papers, put it together and stand back and ask myself � �What can I add?� I find that the sketches are very difficult for me and take me so long to complete, so that�s an area I�d like to work more on. The themes come very easy for me and I can do a million of them and I don�t feel limited because I only have to follow an idea, not a sketch. I do play around with drawing my own sketches and coming up with themes, I find that my Stampin� Up! customers like to do them for themselves, which is fun!
I�d like to add that some people may say that scrapbooking is a waste of time or �just a hobby�, but I feel it is a very important part of carrying on your family heritage. I do not have very many pictures of my grandma that past away or very much of her handwriting and I would LOVE to have that at this point and time in my life. So please don�t be afraid of taking pictures of yourself or with others�and especially journal in your scrapbook pages�.someone somewhere down the road will thank you for it! It is the best gift we can pass on to others. Happy scramping to you all!!!
Congratulations, Vicki! I haven't even looked at the examples of your work that were highlighted, but I know they'll be great. I've seen your work before.
I'm blushing!! Very nice things to say! I don't know if I can compare to some of you guys...but I hope you can find some inspiration in just completing your pages! That's the most important thing, right?!:-D

So Vicki, here is my dps from your inspiration page What Little Boys are Made Of (super cute btw!) I had these photos which appear to be completely unrelated, but were just days apart and wanted to put them together to reflect our crazy Colo weather. I thought your layout was just right for them - so thank you!

Thanks for the inspiration Vicki. This is late I know, but DGD has had a cold and needed some extra attention so it sat there almost done for a couple days.
The DTP around the edges doesn't show up much, but it's there IRL
