It's S'now Much Fun! Inspired Blueprints - November Sketch (#35)

As you know, I started paper crafting as scrapbooker. A little background: I was introduced to scrapbooking while my husband was in grad school in late 2004. It was the first time I was exclusively a SAHM with my daughter who was now 2 years old and I was yearning for a creative outlet to showcase my daughter. I went to a Close to My Heart monthly crop group that a friend held, and I was mesmerized. From the first layout, however, I knew I wanted and could do more with the materials provided.

I joined the group when I could, but due to my schedule and lack of funds at the time, my new hobby was put on hold.

After my son was born, and a couple years passed, I decided to jump head first back into scrapbooking in January of 2008 as a CTMH consultant. Really I was doing it to meet new friends in a new town and get myself excited about my hobby again, and it worked! I have about 4 albums filled and a couple mini books completed. After the last several months of just doing cards I have begun to feel the need to get back to my layouts in addition to doing to doing my cards. After a lot of searching around, I found a great source! Inspired Blueprints! Wow, talk about talent ladies!! Their work is so great, and the sketches are gorgeous! I am so excited that I stumbled upon this great site! And excited to start filling my albums again!

Here's a layout I did of my daughter from last year's first real snowstorm - It's "S'now Much Fun!" I loved making it and hope you enjoy it too! Have a great Wednesday!
