The Artist in Me
This layout was published in the April 2009 issue of Digital Artist Magazine.
Journaling:
I have always done some form of artistry in my life since I was a little girl. Being able to express myself in many different art forms has been such a wonderful outlet for my creativity. I discovered digital scrapbooking nearly three years ago now and it has become such an important part of my life. Not only has it opened so many creative doors for me but it has been such a wonderful way to record all the little moments in my everyday life that are so very important to me. It’s the simple things in life that make up all of our cherished memories that we wish we could remember forever. Scrapbooking has allowed me to record these little moments and freeze them in time so my family and I can look back whenever we wish to relive one of those precious moments. I am so thankful that I discovered scrapbooking, whether it is digital, traditional of hybrid. For me the true joy of scrapbooking is a combination of telling my stories, sharing them with everyone and being able to express the artist in me in any way I feel.
