... i had the most amazing reminder of what scrapbooking is all about.
I had the privilege of looking through an album that was lovingly created in memory of a family member. This album was OVER 80 pages long and had taken over A YEAR to create. Absolutely amazing.
Each page told a story about this person and by the end of the album i felt as if i had known him personally. It was so touching that i felt his loss, even though i had not known him.
The creator told me that she had kept the page designs 'simple' but any other adornments / embellishments would have detracted from the beautiful, stunning photos and the real meaning behind the album.
It was a master piece and i feel so lucky to have seen it. What an amazing keepsake and an incredible thing to create. Well done K. A beautiful momento of a special man.
Thank you.

what a great post Amanda
A great reminder as to why we scrap.
Sometimes I give myself a mental 'slap' and think about WHY I started to scrap.
Something I still have to do every now and then... ;-)
K's album sounds beautiful.
the album is understated to really let the photos shine and speak a thousand words. Flicking thru it nearly brought tears to my eyes. And yes, this is the reason why scrapbooking is important. this is truely a family heirloom that will be passed from generation to generation, as it should.
ditto to what sandra said!
