It Just Made Sense..

When I started this blog last week I was down right angry.  I remember thinking why can’t I find “cyber friends” like my real life scrappin’ girls.  Why can’t we all just get along?  So when I decided to highlight someone’s work I decided to choose Sherri, my favorite scrappin buddy.  The problem is I don’t even know where to begin with trying to express how I’ve seen Sherri use scrapbooking in a positive light. 

My first thought was wait how can I do Sherri she doesn’t have a blog or a gallery online and that’s when it hit me, Sherri scraps for the reasons we all began scrapbooking, she isn’t worried about being published, having her ego stroked or “out doing” another fellow scrapper. 

I was surprised when I asked Sherri for pages that she even had any, she is forever making someone a book or gift.  Here are just a few of her pages that I love.

I couldn’t do this blog without thanking Sherri for introducing me to scrapbooking all those years ago at a CM party, we have had some great, funny, long scrapbooking days and nights since then.   Hope you enjoy the interview after her pages.

Love ya girl!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know you have a new scrapbook room, what is the best thing about having your own space?

I can work whenever  I want and pick up where I left off.  I don’t have to put everything away.  I know where everything is.

 

How long have you been scrapbooking?  What keeps you scrapping? 

10 years.  I think it’s very important to preserve memories for future generations.  My great-aunt just died and she has alot of scrapbooks that tell her story.  I’m very glad she has them.  I think it’s important for us to know where we came from, our heritage.

 

When you scrapbook do you watch t.v., listen to music, or enjoy peace and quiet? 

Music or quiet.

 

Do you scrapbook for yourself or do you make gifts for others?

Both, but  more for others.  I have recently realized I need to get my own memories journaled before I forget them.  Time is going faster the older I get.

 

 

What project are you the most proud of?

The albums I’ve done for my Dad and Mom.

 

 

Is there a technique that you would like to try that you just haven’t tried yet?

Maybe a digital program.  It looks so simple.

 

Your husband lovingly tells us, “Less yappin and more scrappin.”  Do you get more done when you scrap alone or with other people? 

For me about the same.  It can take me a while to decide on what to do.  When I’m around others I can get ideas off them.

 

You have recently discovered Faith Scrapping, have you started any of your own pages?

Sadly no.  It’s something I really want to pursue though.

 

If you could pick one scripture to scrapbook that sums up your testimony or your walk with God what would it be?

1 Cor. 13  The chapter about love….”love never fails”
