Happy National Scrapbook Day…

May 2, 2009

Today I finally get to debut my “Vin­tage Sam­pler”. This is the first of many free online work­shops I plan to share. For those of you who do not know about this work­shop you can check it out here.

Here is a lit­tle snip­pet of my thoughts behind the cre­ation of this project. I wanted to cre­ate a project that incor­po­rated items that reminded me of home as well as the strong fam­ily bond most of us share. I decided a vin­tage sam­pler would be the per­fect project to accom­plish this task. The let­ter “P” sym­bol­izes my fam­ily name, the milk cap sym­bol­izes how we as fam­i­lies nour­ish each other, the but­tons and pearls sym­bol­ize how we mend each oth­ers spir­its dur­ing dif­fi­cult times, the vin­tage flocked flow­ers sym­bol­ize how fam­i­lies help each other grow and become the best they can be and most impor­tantly the glit­tered heart sym­bol­izes how we as fam­i­lies love each other uncon­di­tion­ally. I closely incor­po­rated all the ele­ments inside the frame as I feel noth­ing can tear apart a strong fam­ily bond.

Wish­ing you all a super cre­ative, scrappy kinda day!
