Pink Paislee NSD Blog Hop!!!

Happy National Scrapbook Weekend! The Pink Paislee team wants to wish you a fun and creative weekend! Whether you are at home or at a crop this weekend, we would like to share some inspiration with you along with what this holiday means to us! Start at Pink Paislee's blog and let's get this party started!


Here's a layout that I created using the wonderful Atlas collection.  We were on vacation at Great America, and I just had to get a photo of the kids up on the swings!

What does scrapbooking mean to you?  It is a way to document all of the special moments that I have with my family and friends.

How did you start?  I was introduced back in 1996 by a friend.  It was mostly cardstock, stickers and decorative scissors back then.

What do you love about this hobby? I love that it is a creative way for me to express myself.

What do you do to "celebrate" memory keeping? I usually get together with friends on NSD or work on projects at home and look back at old scrapbook pages made.
