As you know, I love to scrapbook. I scrap about 10 layouts each month. All of them fall in line with three scrapbooking classes I offer every month. I have my Scrapbook club, Scraps in the Mail and then the Book of Me. I love the Book of Me because it's a book just about myself that I will leave to my children. They will really know what there mama is all about. This may not be a good thing. LOL! Anyways, in the past I have done 12 x 12 layouts for my BOM class. The beginning of the year I changed it up a bit. We decorated a Chipboard 8.5 x 8.5 album and the layouts will be 8.5 x 8.5. I wasn't sure about this size at first and now I have grown to love it. I think I will make each of the kids a book this size. These are fast and fun layouts. I wanted to share the decorated album and one of the layouts this month.
The title of this album is pretty simple. "ME!" I used the Stampin' Up! Alphabet Simple Letters and cut the letters from Chipboard. Then I used the Flower Folds and cut the fabric to make the fabric flower on the front. I just added a wee bit of Hodgepodge Hardware and a button and shazzam! It's done. The side of the album I just placed another piece of Hodgepodge Hardware and used my most favorite alpha set Just Perfect. It really is Just Perfect! 🙂
Here is the layout we did!
Just like the album, I used the Night & Day Specialty DSP on my layout to make the cake and tag. The tag uses the Everything Nice stamp set and then I used From the Kitchen stamp set on the side. You can barely see it but I used the Serene Snowflakes stamp set too. Very FUN!!!
Every year I like to bake something for Christmas. Sometimes it's just the cut and stick on a pan type of cookies and sometimes, though rare, I actually get the cookbook out and bake something cool. I will wait to see what I "bake-up" this year and then plop the photo's in the layout.
Once again, I hope this inspires you to start your own Book of Me. Leave your legacy. Leave something for others to talk about. It's a great book to have.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

I think this is a very cool idea. So cool in fact in the new year I will start a class based on your idea. I seem to always be the one with the camera, so am not in the pictures. But I guess I need to change that up some!!
Thank you so much for sharing all that you do.
LOVE It! I have always wanted to do one of these!
Love it! I want to do this, but keep waiting for a "better" me. LOL! Guess I should just start with where I am and see the journey..
Gonna miss that paper when it is gone!
