Altered Diary

I was in need of a new diary..I've been documenting my life since the 80's. This time, I decided to be a little more creative and alter my diary pages. I've never done that before, in fact I have bought the Condé Nast (discontinued now) which comes already altered and in other occasions have bought special paper like (linen paper) to compose my own diaries. I have used all sort of options in the market, but the 8.5 x 11 seems to be more adequate in terms of room for journaling and memorabilia that I always incorporate in my diaries and of course, comfort for writing. This time, I bought a nice notebook, 8.5 x 11, and decided to alter the pages. Here are some pics with the stamps, die-cuts, rub-ons, washi taped, mini banners and other things I have incorporated. This is going to be fun.  I highly recommend you to document your life,not only in layouts and picture albums, but in diaries. It has many benefits.

Adventure: Boy Scout Mini Album

I want to thank Ms Ginger from My Sisters Scrapper who was my inspiration, for this project.  Although some details are different, in general is similar.  I attempted to build this mini album watching her tutorials for the Vertical Paper Bag Mini Album.  Thanks Ms. Ginger !!!!  http://mysistersscrapper.com/

This Album is a gift our scout master's wife.  She was very supportive of the scouts, and to my son, who by the way made his eagle rank.  I am very happy and proud of him.  Bravo amore mio!  I have a few LO's I did with images of him and the scouts in my FB wall and below all the way down on this blog.  Thanks for stopping by and viewing and sharing my memories.  I am blessed by Jesus who have let me enjoyed and share this memories with you all.  Thanks !
