With the Tennis US Open underway it got me thinking of the summer I worked there as a cashier. That was my first real job and it was quite an experience. I thought I would do a layout about it and in the end I ended up with 2 layouts.
Sometimes when I’m creating I end up with 2 versions of the same layout. I like to have variations and usually pick one that I like better but in this case I like them both. No one said you could only have 1 layout of the same thing, right?? There are no rules in scrapbooking – whatever works for you!
Scrapbooking your first job is a great way to preserve that memory and experience for years to come. So what was your first job?
Check out my guest blog post over at Spring: Inspiration in Bloom about the power of storytelling and how to live life inspired! If the picture doesn’t load just go to the main site and it should work.
I’m excited to share my guest blog post all about Summer memories over at the When I Grow Up Coaching blog! When Michelle mentioned she was going on vacation and needed guest bloggers I jumped at the chance right away! I didn’t have a theme or particular topic when I committed to it but I knew I would come up with something. Since it’s Summertime I’ve seeing and reading lots of people’s summer stories and it got me thinking of my own memories – how they are important to capture and document. All of our memories are important to document but there is something special and magically about summer memories.
For this blog post I worked on a new layout (using Michelle Underwood‘s new kit That Was Yesterday) capturing one of my favorite summer childhood memories – spending time with my grandparents. Most summers when I was young I would spend time in the Poconos and my grandparents would come to visit. The photo in this layout if from a mini golfing outing with them. I have no clue who won the game but I know I won just by being with them!
Make sure to share a special moment from summertime in the comments section on the When I Grow Up blog by July 24th at 12p Eastern and be entered to win a custom designed scrapbook layout from me of that memory. You can also pick a different topic/theme or other special milestone as well. And if you like how that comes out feel free to do a whole book!
And for anyone reading this who doesn’t know about the fabulous, Michelle Ward aka The When I Grow Up Coach, she helps creative people devise the career they think they can’t have – or discover it to begin with! I recently started working with her to help me reach my career goals and just to kick my butt into gear overall with what and who I want to be. Michelle uses a dose of empathy, a shot of butt-kickin’, a wagon full of enthusiasm, & a crapload of inspiration to help her client’s figure out their passions, career options and the possibly out-of-the-box career ideas they might have never thought of before.
I hope you all enjoy your summer so far and are making some wonderful new summer memories.
Facebook Fridays starts today for coupons and freebies from me for Pink Ink Studios customers! Stay tune every Friday for the month of July for new goodies and treats.
Are you a parent who don’t know how or where to store the volumes of arts and crafts your children produce? I will design an art scrapbook for your child using photos you take of their artwork or projects (I can also scan artwork mailed to me). You can now save the memories forever without holding on to every object. It’s a great way to preserve and prevent your children’s artwork from getting lost, damaged, thrown away or creating clutter.
The process is simple – simply select the art work you want in your book and send it to me via photos by email or by mail through the USPS. I’ll take care of all the design elements and create a 20 page bound book for you to keep for many years to come. There are several sizes and printing options available so please contact me if interested to figure out what is best for you. Also think about ordering extra scrapbooks so grandparents can see their grandkids’ latest creations!
For a chance to win one of these books please stop by When I Grown Up blog to enter. If a child’s art scrapbook isn’t the right product for you feel free to use the $75 gift value towards a scrapbook of your choice.
