This week on the Crafty Secrets' member forum, Pammyjo challenged us to make a project that is "All About ME". She asked us to make something that reflects our personalities.
Scrapbooking was my first papercrafting love, so for my project I made this mini-album using one of my favorite Crafty Secrets images from the Story of Me set. I used two of my favorite colors, purple and chocolate brown. I gave the little girl chestnut hair, the same color as mine, and dressed her in shades of purple, of course.
The album cover also reflects my love of reading and writing. I loved studying in college and majored in English with a writing discipline. I attended grad school for Children's Literature, which is how I came up with my screen name, Kiddielitter. I put that degree on hold, though, when my daughter was born and my hubby decided to get his PhD. I'm a copy editor now and am surrounded by the written word all day.
TFL!

SO pretty Marcy! I love the colors together. You always do the cutest things with this book set. Your letter dp is so perfect to describe you. I always thought your screen name was because you had a litter of kids at home. Nice to know you a little better.
When I saw this in the gallery I thought this must be Marcy! Wonderful job of creating your story!! Love this image and what you did with it! Great idea to make a mini album : )
