Scrapbooking Kids!!

I just finished up helping about 45 children from my churchs' children's Trailblazer Camp create scrapbooks from their days at camp starting on Saturday August 11th and ending yesterday August 14th!  There were mostly girls, but the boys  (12 of them) really did a fantastic job at scrapbooking the photos that were taken of them and their friends daily!

The theme for camp was "Wild About Jesus" and the boys had 6 x 6 camoflage covered scrapbooks and the girls had 6 x 8 zebra print covered scrapbooks.  I could tell the kids that grew up with someone in the household that liked to scrapbook.  But the ones that were "learning" did such an awesome and inspiring job!  I was enjoying their creativity!  It made me want to join in and create...but that will have to wait.  I was busying helping to trim pictures and make sure they had plenty of paper and glue sticks.  These kids did a fantastic job!  And some of the guys even did some journaling!!

I loved every minute of it.  I took some pictures of them working and will create my scrapbook pages later and post them here....A Big thank you to my church, Central Carolina Community Church (C4) and our Children's Pastor, Pastor John Hunsucker for asking me to share in this activity!

My RESCUED Grand-doggies

This past weekend I cropped some pictures of my daughter and her now new husband and my "grand-doggies" when they were in Charleston, SC at a Dog Park.  I had fun, and I actually got 24 pages made during this crop!  Yeah!  But scrapbooking by Grand-doggies which are all rescued babies (Toby and Miles are brothers and were adopted together and Jasper was adopted later), makes me more sure that more people should rescue the dogs and cats that are in the shelters.  They need good homes and for whatever reason they have ended up in the shelters abandoned or were abused.  They need the love that you can give them.  They will return that love back 100 fold!  I have a rescued baby, an Irish Setter that was severely abused.  Abby didn't trust at first, but we have had her since 2007 and she has been my faithful and loyal companion.  She has brought me much joy!

My Grand-doggies are in Hawaii now since that is where my daughter is residing for the next several years.  I miss them.  All three have their own unique personalities that bring alot of joy to you.

I hope that you enjoy these pages that I cropped (if I can upload them, this is the first time that I have scanned them in and will try to upload them...so we will see).  I used the one of the newest sets of papers from Close To My Heart called CLEMENTINE.  The more I worked with the papers the more I fell in love with them.  I love the color combinations.  You can go to my website to order if you have fallen in love with this paper packet, or to see more new paper packets.  Let's see if I can up load these pages.....

Awwww....that was easier than I thought!! Enjoy!
