Thinking that having all my story pages, scrapbook layouts in one place would be a brilliant idea as a back up. All these layouts and more are in albums. It will take me years to upload them here at WP but as another gallery online its a perfect idea in my mind.
Along with hand crafted cards, collages,paper sculptures & carvings, home decor projects,multi=medium altered journals, and hand crafted mini albums, & story books are all just part of what I see my Paper Art Gallery containing.
I also will be taking a bit of a risk. But a very tiny, small one.
I hope that anyone stopping by enjoys something a bit different for my blog. Another side of me… if you will.
Hoping you all enjoy, or even better yet become inspired.

These page layouts are all of my family. From my BFF, my husband of going on 42 years, YES! I said 42 years, to our two daughter’s who are our finest works, and our two grandchildren. Our granddaughter is 19 yrs old a freshman at The university of Oregon, and our grandson who is 12 years old and is going to be an NBS player & star.
Also included is our beloved Rockaway Oregon’s spectacular sunsets and my best galpal here where I live.
I hope you enjoyed this small glimpse into my small world.
Thanks for visiting and taking the time. ~

Congrats on your 42 years!! WOW
Thank you so much Cee, its been a wonderful adventure so far.~
A few years ago I realized I had all these digital photos that never saw the light of day. And I had all those from-film-printed-snapshots stuck in envelopes in boxes. In the chest with the empty albums they were to go into. Then I discovered digital scrapbooking. After a couple of years of printing the pages for albums I discovered Blurb.com. So now I have printed albums (by me or Blurb), with pictures and albums on the computer, on DVDs and on the external hard drives. I love sitting and thumbing through the albums!
I agree Carol, whats the point of having the images if you never see them. Bravo you for feeling compelled to do something about it.
I have stayed away from digital scrapbooking for the most part only because I am a tactile person. I adore texture and being able to see & feel different layers of a good layout.Its like the difference between reading a book in your hands, turning the paper of its pages, to reading on a kindle or Nook. Not that there is anything wrong with liking the digital versions, just not my thing.
That all being said I have never heard of Blurb.com/ It may change my mind. Thank you Carol, I’ll be checking them out for sure. Its an idea that I have toyed with, getting a photo album into book form. I do love that idea so much!
Thank you Carol for the tip. I am really most grateful,
What a fantastic idea!
How you doing Julie/ cannot get you off my mind today, remembering back to the time of recovery in our home with our daughter after her brain surgery.
All the changes, the moods.
I was cleaning up comments I’d missed, how not sure but I did. Saw this one from you and although a few days ago I just wanted to say I was thinking of you.
