September challenge!

My goal is to inspire you to use your great stash of scrappin' supplies with a monthly challenge. We all have a "fave of the moment" and mine is rub-ons! I figured that was a great starting place, so my challenge to you this month is to create something which incorporates rub-ons as an embellishment, journalling or whatever comes to mind! Here's a little something I created using rub-ons as embellishments and the title. Have fun!
Hey all! For my first blog post, I'd like to explain why I chose It's ALL Beautiful as my title. I think, from a scrapbooking standpoint, we often spend too much time comparing our work - to other's creations, to layouts in magazines, to the examples given with sketches.
There are a million different styles out there. What works for one isn't right for another. Yet it's so easy to look at someone else's page and wish yours looked like that.
But the heart of scrapbooking is about sharing your photos and precious memories. The true purpose of this hobby we all love is sharing those special moments in our lives, the photos we never get tired of looking at and those memories we hold so dear in our hearts. As long as those elements appear on our pages, ribbon, chipboard, patterned paper and co-ordinating colours are just extras. Create your pages from your heart and no matter what you use, they're ALL beautiful!
