After seeing Jean's page today, I just had to take a photo of the scrapbook page I did a few years ago after our vacation to Seattle. Then, one thing led to another, and the scrapbook page ... well... it got scrapbooked! This page is one of the reasons I am here, and you are here to see it. When you fall in love with a hobby like I did, it leads you to a new path... this path has been long... but I have loved every second of it! As I was working on this page, I thought it was kind of important to start scrapbooking about Deco-Pages itself, and what it means to me, about the friends I have made here, and the joy they bring me. This is a part of my life... a very BIG part. It deserves a place in my scrapbook.
I created this page with my contribution to the Garden Party Mega Kit for Club Deco (June 2008)... I altered the colors of the papers and elements. I love the ability to do that... it is much harder to do with traditional scrapbooking!
How wonderful Deb! I'm happy that I inspired you to revisit your paper scrapping roots and this delightful page. Love that Seattle cutout. We have so many memories that make wonderful subjects for our scrapbooks. I like the way you recolored the background on this. Those bordered papers are really attractive.

That's a clever idea Deb! I always love reading what you are up to because you make it sound like I'm sitting across a table from you and we're having a latte at Starbuck's. (that's my Seattle reference btw) I'd like to see more of your Washington Doilies! As for paper scrapping, once in a blue moon I will make a page manually. Since I work in a crafts store, I feel I should do it and stay in the loop so to speak. But digitals is my first love.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! You ladies are the best, it always makes me feel so good when I post a page and you all take a moment to look and let me know what you think! I just Love Deco-Pages!
Cyndie, I have a photograph that I have to scrap one of these days of us on the ferry to your Island! I wish I would have known you then... I would have had you meet up with us for one of those Latte's!

What a gorgeous keepsake. Yes, there is much variety in digital, but I am very much a hybrid scrapper now as I love to make cards. Great journaling.
