The Truth Comes Out :)

You'll see what I mean.

Today is my debut over at Once Upon A Sketch. I can't tell you how excited about this I am, I love a good challenge, especially when it involves journaling! And I am lucky because I can just combine it with my other DT assignments. I had a lot of fun this week.

The challenge:

Journaling Criteria: This time you need to journal at least 2 SENTENCES on WHEN you started scrapping and WHY?

You MUST combine our journaling criteria with this sketch:

My Layout:

Like I said I had a lot of fun with this challenge, but the truth also comes out with it...what I mean is this:

1) Oh my goodness, I am SO bad at getting my layouts into albums, they just end up in piles (as you will see in the pictures) and...

2) I am selfish, I don't scrap to record memories or for my kids, although those are added bonuses, I scrap simply because I love it and it makes me happy. :)

So here's my layout:

I used the AWESOME Little Black Dress collection from BasicGrey. I seriously LOVE that collection. :) Everything on my layout is from BasicGrey.
