Anticipation...SFTIO Blog Hop!



    Hi Everyone! If you are looking for the Scrapbooking From The Inside Out  blog hop here it is! Welcome! If you did not start from the beginning and want to participate hop on over to Nancy's blog and from there each person will give you the next link. You comment on each persons blog (each comment is another chance to win) and when you are finished you must comment on the Scrapbooking From The Inside Out Blog.  Which also happens to be the next link in this blog hop!!

If you are not familiar with Scrapbooking from the Inside Out it is a kit club and so much more. Each month, we'll focus on a specific emotion. The monthly kit for sale will be geared toward products that can be used to explore what that emotion means to you, in your life.


You'll be able to access an 'inspiration' page each month with links to stuff that will make you think, help you explore and stir you to express yourself on the scrapbook page like never before.

This month's theme is Anticipation...

This is my oldest and my youngest. My oldest is graduating high school in ONE WEEK! :0!
She is going away to college :(
She is a smart girl and I do anticipate amazing things coming her way! So of course she makes a perfect topic for this months theme!

Sometimes the journaling is right in the page, sometimes it's hidden and sometimes there is hidden meaning right on the page. Here you can see I cut out scroll and extended it off the page- she is venturing into new worlds outside of home. Home is the square, solid, safe and strong. Baby girl is there, representing family and the bonds that we share. Lots of bling & sparkle - all things new and exciting. Also it is fitting that I used the color purple, the color of royalty- after all she is a princess, they both are.The black is for things unknown, not a bad thing, just in the dark right now for what the future holds. 

If you find this interesting you might want to try for the DT call they are having at Scrapboooking From The Inside Out. I have been on the team for a year and have loved all the themes and the way I scrap has changed ( in a good way) because of it!

Thanks for stopping by and dont forget to go check in with Rachel at SFTIO blog.
You coud win this months kit!!! Anticipation! Good luck!
