In this day and age of the cell phone, everyone has access to a camera 24 hours a day, and everyday moments are being documented more than ever. Even though I love the ease of using my cellphone to take pictures throughout the day, I still love getting out my “big girl camera” to take pictures on special occasions. I would get it out more often, but as my kids get older it gets harder to get them to cooperate for pictures. That means I have to take them when I can, which is where the stealthiness of the cellphone camera comes into play!
As a scrapbooker, I think I am drawn to cameras as a design element because they are the tool used to capture those memories. I have even decorated with vintage cameras in my craft room and am always on the lookout for ones to add to my collection. Any of these DIY camera-themed paper crafting projects (like the vintage camera photo box pictured below) are pretty enough to display and add to my real camera collection!

I started scrapping in 2006 and was quickly addicted!I was an avid scrapper until late summer of 2010 when we started our adoption journey, at that point I was overwhelmed with paperwork (and emotions!) and I had to put something on the back burner in my life but I knew I would eventually come back to it.
We welcomed our daughter home from China in December of 2011 and a few months later I found my groove again and pulled out all of those supplies that had been tucked away.
I started out scrapping again doing traditional layouts, but at the beginning of this year I jumped into Project Life and I love it!
When I’m not scrapping I am usually spending time with our daughters which means library time, going on walks, thrifting (they love it as much as I do!) or watching Kung Fu Panda for the millionth time.I also have an Etsy shop Panda Eight Designs where I sell scrapbooking flair that I design.
