ODBD’s June Scrapbook Challenge

I started off as a scrapbooker and not a very good one.  If you all could see my first layouts you’d probably laugh because I know I do!  Over time and with lots of great inspiration to borrow from I’ve learned to do a page or two here and there. 

I decided to play along with the ODBD Scrapbook Team this month.  The challenge was a sketch which you can find in THIS ODBD blog post and here’s how I interpreted it in a 12x12 page:

As I was thumbing through my box of pictures I came across so many of my boys together and I knew the Time set was perfect!  Don’t be afraid to mix and match sets.  Here, I added accents using the lace border from the Serve the Lord set.

For my journaling I usually write what’s on my mind, but in this case I wanted my words directed at my sons.  I hope when they’re grown with families of their own they will look back at the scrapbooks I’ve created and know just what I’ve felt during their phases in life.  When I’m gone at least I know my words will live on.

As you can see, ODBD stamp sets are perfect for your scrapbook pages.  We hope you’ll join us every month and share your scrapbook pages!
