Lean on Me | Be Inspired Blog Hop

"Lean on Me".

It seems that everyone around me is fighting a battle.

The Be Inspired Design Team is following a theme of Love and Friendship. In hardships, "love and friendship" is truly the only thing that matters.

Stay strong my friends.

Lean on your friends.

Dig deep and hang in there.

This newly released stamp set by Stampin' Up! is called "Artfully Aware" and it was designed by a demonstrator whose family is supporting a person battling with Alzheimers. This disease has and continues to hit my family. So this stamp set really spoke to me.

Hope you have amazing day - don't stop here though.

Check out Carolynn Sander's project!

Documenting December Memories | Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop January 2019

Awwwww.

I have been slowly documenting my December 2018 memories.

So, I was in luck when the Scrapbook Sunday Design Team's theme was just that.

My scrapbooking and memory keeping style is very clean.

It's often wordy but not in this layout.

This layout is a 6x8" page and will go side by side with some pocket pages telling the story in these photos.

Products Used: // You can notice the Stampin' Up! Stitched 2x2" squares bordering my photos just perfectly. I love using this style of backing on photos. The patterned paper is the Merry Christmas Designer Paper out of the Annual Catalog. Unfortunately the stickers of the trees and the labels come from the retired Santa's Workshop Memories and More card pack.

I am looking forward to more scrapbooking as I move into 2019.

I have oh so missed it.

Be sure to check out the whole team's layouts as each Stampin' Up! Demonstrator will show you how to use our products to preserve your own memories.
