Okay.. Michelle here from Adelaide, South Australia.... I am a
Fiskars Ambassador and
SAHM to three children aged between 10 years to 10
mths old...In my spare time I teach
scrapbooking and love to share my work with others.... So why you ask am I telling you all this..... Well.. for me time with my children is very precious and I try to make every moment with them count...personal experience has shown me that we need to do this, as we never know what will happen next. I always tell my children that I love them daily.
Scrapbooking for me has been a way of healing old wounds and preserving all the little things in life that are just as precious as big milestones. So.... Children's Day is a very important day for me... I am lucky to have 3 gorgeous children to scrapbook ... and YES I can be bias...
lol...
lol... I treasure the time that we spend together and love
scrapbooking not for myself but for them... my eldest daughter inspired me firstly to start
scrapbooking when she starting asking about stories from when she was younger... for me
scrapbooking was the perfect way to preserve those memories for us both.. When the call came out to the
Fiskars Ambassadors and Demonstrators to help with
SCKC layout's I put my hand up with no hesitation.. despite the fact that my own workload was already pushed with demonstrations here in Adelaide and preparations going on for the first ever
Fiskars Easter Crop here in Adelaide....I just knew that I had to help.. I mean what is
scrapbooking about.. but being able to share your work with others and helping others to preserve their special moments....I had so much fun doing these layouts. They were so quick and easy to do that I set myself a challenge to get 50 made..... the problem was that when I went through my stash of Heidi Grace and Cloud 9 papers that it was so hard to stop pulling out papers to choose from...so in the end... I have here in my slide shows below ended up with 75 completed layouts for you to see.... and YES... it did kinda get a bit carried away here as I still have another pile sitting on my painting desk in my studio that need to be finished still... last count was a bit over 60... and I have had to put the stops on myself to not do anymore.....
Yes... maybe I did kinda get carried away .. but I must say that I felt that I wanted to help the cause so much that I just couldn't stop....
Hope that you all enjoy Children's Day and perhaps even think to help out with making some of the
SCKC layouts to help out cause that desperately needs help... think of the looks on the children's faces when they look through their finished memory books.....I mean... why else would you want to scrapbook !!!!
Back to the scrap desk to continue creating.....
Cheers and happy scrapping....Michelle x
