Lasting Memories Look How I Have Grown! Challenge


Did you have fun on blog hop last week?  I so loved seeing everyone's creative ideas!

The winner of the Hero Arts Butterfly Die is Carmen Mitchell. Carmen would you please contact me through my contact button? You have one week to do so. If I don't hear from Carmen, I will pick another winner next week.





 And now for this week's challenge! How have you grown as a scrapbooker? This week at Lasting Memories we want to take a peek at your past and present!

One of my first Layouts:


    OK time for true confessions:  When I started scrapbooking there were few supplies. A Circle punch was a scraper's best friend. And stickers were the answer to everything!, LOL. I rarely use them now. And horrors of horrors I used Rubber Cement before there was acid free rubber cement. Oh the messes I have been cleaning up!

And a little info on the photos. That's Scott at 6 months wearing newborn clothes! That Michigan bib was almost bigger than him! His small stature was due to his birth mother drinking. It took until his adult years to catch up in size. He is now 5' 4". Scott's Fetal Alcohol Syndrome presents daily challenges for him even in his adult years. Please if you are pregnant, don't drink. Your baby will pay the price of your drinking for it's entire life.

And here is the latest layout-just a little different....what do you think?
