My First Blog Post

I've finally decided to start a blog to document my digital scrapbooking adventures. I love fairy tales and used to read all the fairy tale stories I can get my hands on at the library when I was younger. That love for fairy tales is still with me now that I'm grown up. I discovered digital scrapbooking in late 2009 and love everything about it. Digital scrapbooking allows me to bring the fairy tales in my imagination to life. How fun is that?

This layout is a RAK for Angel Jet's daughter Rianne. Angel Jet had the wonderful idea to create a photobook for her daughter's sixteenth birthday using layouts from various digital scrapbookers, each person with a different style. Rianne's birthday is on Halloween, October 31st so we're all doing Halloween-themed layouts for her.
