WHY SCRAP?- Once Upon a Sketch

Here's the lastest at Once Upon a Sketch!

Why do you scrap and when did you start?

This is my layout. I've had this pic of Sienna for a while and always wanted to scrap it but never quite found the right reasons. Then when I read this topic I thought it's perfect. Now you might be wondering how come? I could think of  heaps of reasons why I scrap, the main reason being 'cause I just have the need. to create. IYKWIM.

But it's also to capture all those special moments. The ones that are spontaneously caught in a pic. Oh sure we all have lots of posed pics for birthdays and celebrationS but I love these pics. The ones that are random, and I was going to say caught on film but, that's pretty outdated these days.

This is one of those moments. Her nose crinkles, her dimples pop out and Sienna lets out the most infectious joyous laugh. She throws her head back and thoroughly enjoys the moment. A wonderful pic!
I could have done without the gum. lol

The lovely chipboard is all from our sponsor Imaginarium Designs...

 and the stunning flowers are from the new summer collection at Manor House Designs. Added a touch of gesso.

 My journalling reads: In 1995 I opened a window. (I guess most people would say a door but I've always been a scrapbooker from the time I was child. So the window seemed more appropriate. lol)
I am telling our story...capturing precious moments in time to explore, to create: Destination Art.
