Blog Scrapbooking

So often, I use my blog to share projects & scrapbooking ideas.  Sometimes I forget that while blogs are great for that, they are also designed to share life.  Feelings.  Events.  Moments.  In an unscripted, informal, instantaneous way.  I love that.  Some of my favorite posts have been simply to share ideas & photographs.  Sometimes the project just isn't there yet, and I'm caught in a moment that simply strikes me.  Scrapbooking is, after all, about recording life.  I think that in the same way, a blog can become another tool to do just that.  A virtual scrapbook of sorts.

When I started my blog, it occurred to me that certain posts might evolve into scrapbook pages or albums.  I've happily converted two favorite posts recently, and thought I'd share the results.

This layout was based on a post from October '07 about my visit to the Martin Luther King, Jr, historical site in Georgia.  The original post can be found here - I used my original text for the page journaling.

This layout was based on a post from just this past March.  Once again, I used the journaling text right from my blog with a few small changes.  The original post can be found here.  The supplies for this layout were all part of the April 2008 from Little Daisy Scrapbooking, generously shared with me as a design team member for the ISA - I'll be sure to share my other layouts with you soon!  And perhaps another giveaway....you never know!  :)
