Seasons Of Love

There is a song on my playlist, Seasons Of Love from the broadway musical RENT. I love this song. I entered a contest at Savvy N Sassy that required the use of school supplies in a project. Right away I thought of a ruler. Rulers are cool on a scrap page! Try it! Plus this ruler was 9 cents! I also dont do a whole lot of 2 page layouts, but I liked how this turned out. On my page my title is "How do I measure my life?" and my answer is "measure in love" I wanted to do a timeline sort of feel with pictures of my family, my sisters, my kids, my parents and my husband. I had so much fun doing this and I had a lot of help from my sister Lucy! Thanks so much for all your suggestions sistah!!! I have a card of hidden journaling that says: "I love the song, seasons of love, from rent. Lately I have been mulling over the ways I measure my life. What is important and what I hope I have accomplished within my lifetime. For me, mostly I hope I can “measure” my life in the love I show my family and the love that is shown in return."

I used Creative Imaginations paper, Bazill cardstock, ruler, Heidi Grace stickers, AC stickers, ribbons from SNS, Ink for the edges from paper popsicles Morrocco Kit, and I cut the red heart out and hand stitched some thread around it. Now I ask you to think about this question: How do you measure YOUR life?

This was a fun project and I am glad to have it done. Now I sit and wait to see if I am selected as the guest designer for October for SNS...That would be cool.

The weekend has ended and now I am back to the usual, cleaning, laundering, and blogging!! The weather is beautiful so I plan to get the kids outside to play. We went outside yesterday evening and Erick took some great pictures of Jed learning to ride a bike and Ella and Luke playing. I will try to post those later.

*On another note, mark your calendars! Paper Popsicles is hosting a Fall Fling weekend crop on October 12-14! There will be contests, challenges, and prizes. You can get all the info at the Paper Popsicles newsletter. There are even pics of the prizes! Be sure to come and play!!!

So clever you are!

BTW- I LOVE my book that you gave me! It has been so helpful with the move. I've written down a whole bunch of random things in it. I was reading over the "tickets" again and I had a really good laugh!

Great job, Becca. You have really come a long way since we starting cropping together. And I've fallen off the face of the scrapbooking world. You have inspired me. One of my goals for next year (yes I'm going to wait that long, I have too many other things to do right now) is to scrapbook more. Keep up the good creativity.
