Taking the lead as our Calendar Girl of the Month is the lovely & talented Jen DeLorenzo (jend). Jen sets the stage for a month full of sweetness with her “real life” guest post below. Jen will also assist with choosing the Layout of the Week later in the month, plus compile a special edition of our weekly Story Board.
February has arrived and love is in the air.
As the song goes, all you need is love
… and within a family there is an abundance to capture. There are so many little glimpses into the power love holds. When my children look back through my scrapbooks as adults I want them to feel the overwhelming love I have for them. I want them to see my heart on each and every page.
There are so many little stories that would get missed and lost in the progress of time if they weren’t written down. The sweet little everyday tidbits disappear and we are just left with a warm glow and fond memories, but none of them distinct. It is so important to capture that love and get it down before it slips through your hands.
A human memory is so fleeting. It is so easy to go about our normal day and think “oh that was such a cute/sweet/special moment” and do nothing about it. Love has no limits. You can love people, animals and things. I think recording it all is important.
If you just try to steal those moments back from time, I guarantee you won’t regret it. Those pages will quickly become your favorites. I have posted some examples of pages that to me speak the language of love. I hope you take this and go scrap your love story!
