Love it M-C. Looking forward to further installments.

I like your LO M-C! The scan come out looking very much like the orginal! It looks really good! I did post my LO's. Nick actually likes the idea of a BOM. He says it will be interesting to see what we had when he was growing up, as well as when I was growing up. The cost of different things too.

Will you be able to post your LO's Sabrina? It sounds really pretty....

Looks great M-C :) Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering what I could do with all my baby, school, and 21st pics. Thought of doing seperate mini-albums, but this is much better. Thank you for the inspiration. Your page looks great. Looking forward to see the rest.

Just had a peak at your BOM too, Kenda. Great Job. The paper and ribbons on the first page, really goes well together. Thank you for sharing

Judy, SA

very nice M.-C., I need to do a dedication page for mine too. Yours is great, I'm not that eloquent but I'm sure I'll come up with something.(i hope) Barb:o)

I have not been able to but am working on it for the future. I think is time for a new system !! Since I can't share,sometimes I describe. LOL

great job and a touching dedication, MC!

My name is: Summerwaters aka: Leslie. I am a new member, from Boston, MA. I recently had the opportunity, as a Newbie Scrapbooker to view your layouts@Webshots All I can say, is WOW! You are a expert at this! Your play with color is astounding, as I am a very colorful person myself! The layouts really capture each moment, and you make a viewer feel as if they are there. Your daughter is a beautiful girl, who appears to love the camera as much as it loves her!

As a newcomer to Scrapbooking, you have shown me, that one can: "Celebrate" the Everyday Ordinary Moments, and turn them into Joyous Celebrations of Living!" Everyday occassions that people take for granted, your daughter Sleeping is Awesome! I've never enjoyed a trip to the zoo, so much. I actually had fun, thank you for the invite!

I have purchased a: "Everyday Memories Scrapbook Kit" to get started, I just don't have a clue, how to start or where, although I have tons of pictures, of Myself, Loved Ones, a Hubby, and Friends.

Perhaps if you have time, you could send me a few hints on: "How to get Started in Scrapbooking" or refer me to someone who could help me: "Get Started".

Thank You So Much for Sharing and for Your Time and Patience, Sincerely Yours,

Dear Leslie, Thank-you for all the nice words! I'm flattered you like my work! This group is a great place to learn, there are so many styles and skills out their! You'll find that there is a wealth of ideas to draw from. I suggest looking at a few scrapbook magazines and copy some layouts putting you awn slant on things. Just play around and do what you like, thats what I do just play till you like what you see! You'll get better as time goes on-I'm almost embarrassed to look at my fisrt attempts but hey they just show how far I've evolved as a scrapper but I still have a lot to learn too, and it's fun learning. Have fun, good luck, feel free to contact me anytime! Barb:o) -a good place to look for ideas is

Beautiful page M-C. I can't wait to see more.

In article , M-C writes

Beautiful. The words and layout are perfect. :-)

"The Images from my heart" I love that M-C. I'm thinking these albums should be named that instead of "Book of Me." What a great start to your album.

Lynne

Thanks Lynne. The images have to be from my heart as I have so few pictures, LOL!

That is lovely M-C! The butterfly hanging from the bottom is great too! You are off to a great start, just keep going with it now :) Sometimes these BOM's are great to help us realize how much we really "are" but you know we all think you are special :) I read the post on thanking you for all you do with the website and the group and I second that!!!!

Thanks LoriK and everyone for the kind comments. There is no oubt in my mind that it is the inspiration of the people in this group that keeps me scrapping! Thanks!

Wonderful dedication MC! I can't wait to see it in person. :-)
