Layered Scrapbooking {with my 7 yr old}

November 16, 2016

Thank you for your sweet, compassionate words regarding my post about my grandpa. It was fun to brag on him and share that with you. Not many people read blogs anymore (at least not like they used to). I feel like a lot of you that are still hanging around here with me have been reading this for so long – thank you. I haven’t met most of you, but you have always been so encouraging to me and I am so grateful for that.

A week or so after Be Crafty, Amanda sent a package to my eldest daughter as a thank you for helping to host the workshop. As my girl began opening the beautifully wrapped gifts, she squealed with delight. Paper, ribbons, stamps, paperclips and a scrapbooking binder all came out of the box.

Amanda designed a couple of pages in the book to show my girl how to layer each page and get her creative juices flowing. One look at those pages was all it took..she was off and running for few hours working on her book.

She noticed Amanda did some sewing on a page, so she pulled out our sewing machine and went to work on her pages. I’m calling it our sewing machine instead of mine. These days she uses it far more than I do!

Polaroid sent Amanda a couple mobile printers for the workshop. You connect the printer to your phone and can print instantly straight from your phone. It is like having a polaroid camera, but using your phone! It works pretty great when your 7 year old is scrapbooking and doesn’t want to wait for you to order pictures.
I’m not going to post any pictures of the pages…she wrote lots of sweet things about friends and family and it is better to keep it tucked in her book instead of sharing it here. Just know those pages were full of layered goodness. I told her she needs to start guest posting here with scrapbooking lessons. She sure has a few things to teach me!
