Cousins

My cousin came over to scrapbook last week and I started back with Nathalie's album. I managed to get 4 pages done, so I was quite happy.

Nathalie was the third baby born in 3 months in my family. My cousin had a little boy in March, then my Sister-in-law/Brother in April and finally Nathalie in July. When she was just a couple of days old, they all came to visit and we got a great photo. It's hard remembering her so tiny. She looks so different now. Her hair is so much lighter.

It's a very simple layout, but that's me, right?? And I'll never catch up if I spend hours on each layout.

I've read that you shouldn't always journal on the computer since people will want to remember your writing too. I hate my writing and wish longingly that I had cool printing like all the scrapbookers in the magazines. But I don't, so I don't often print on my layouts since I'm scared of messing them up. But since I could do this on a tag and if I messed up, it wouldn't wreck my layout and I could start over, I went for it.

I've decided that you don't need a lot on a layout for it to be nice. This has one piece of patterned paper, one piece of cardstock with another small one for a mat. Then just a title and a journaling tag. So simple.
