What a great layout. I was not alive when this happened, but it is so sad to think about. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats ladies. I have sent you emails for your mailing addresses.

Joy

My word for this year is joy. I am sure I can find joy everyday. This layout is of my grandson opening one of his gifts on Christmas. While video games and dvds make great gifts they also make a two or three inch pile of gifts under the tree - not impressive. LOL. The journaling explains how I used a large box (for size), 7 pound bag of kitty litter (for weight) and crumpled newspaper (to eliminate any shaking). I taped the video game to the inside of the box. He was pleasantly surprised.

Entire layout made from one sheet of patterned paper (from Recollections' All Season stack), one sheet of cardstock from my stash and 3 gems. This was my first attempt at making fan fold embellies and I didn't think to check you tube before starting. The cutting and folding I did okay, it's the gluing that I should have gotten instructions for before I stuck my fingers together. Title is printed on the paper.

I am entering this in:

Lasting Memories - challenge is New Year (used my "word" for the year) open until 1/21 9pm EST
The Paper Variety - challenge is to use fan fold embellishments, open until 1/27 midnight EST
Scrappin-n-chattin - challenge is to use word of the year as one word title, open until 1/31.

History in My Lifetime

Welcome to the History in My Lifetime Blog Hop.

This blog hop is geared toward "History in My Lifetime", something that is prominent and will be in history books if not already there.If you came here first please start at Jamie's blog so you don't miss any of the fun. She will be offering the grand prize of 4 digi stamps from scrapbookstampsociety.com. Comment on each blog to be eligible.

I picked the first history book event that I remember, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The journaling talks about how I was eleven and didn't really understand conspiracy theories and everything the adults were talking about, but I did understand that as sad as it was for us to lose our president, that two young children lost their dad.

Please leave a comment to be eligible for my blog candy. Your next stop is the talented Christel.

This is ME

The challenge at Lasting Memories this week is Getting to Know You. When I found this paper I knew it was perfect for a layout about me. I used the words that were pre-printed on the paper to inspire my list: Give my best, Enjoy my life, Learn from the journey, See amazing beauty every day.

All items used were won from Artful Delights. Leeanne sells the most amazing kits with enough goodies to make multiple layouts.

You can enter at Lasting Memories until 9 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 14th.
