About Me
I discovered digital scrapbooking through a magazine at my dentist's office when my girls were toddlers. I downloaded GIMP shortly thereafter, and the rest is history. My teenagers aren't nearly as cute to scrap now as they were then - but I still love documenting who we are as a family. And hey, occasionally now my layouts don't even include my kids :P
I sometimes even get to use the skills I learned digital scrapbooking for my work (I do communications for a nonprofit ministry that provides educational opportunities for kids in Guatemala)
Besides digital scrapbooking, I enjoy geocaching, hiking, x-country skiing, hanging around with international students, reading, stewarding a little free library, and cheering on my family at their many races . . .
Oh, and I'm Canadian, eh? We put two Ls in journalling and a U in colour on purpose :)

Digital Scrapbook LayoutDescription
Journalling reads:
I want my daughters to know that beautiful isn't the clothes that you wear or the way you do your hair. It's not a number on a scale or a picture in a fashion magazine. Beautiful isn't a synonym for good-looking, or pretty, or even gorgeous . . . beautiful is much deeper that than. Beautiful is a heart that fears God, hands that serve with compassion, and feet that go to share the good news. Beautiful is an inner confidence that you're a child of the King. Beautiful is the willingness to risk being authentic even when it reveals the not-so-perfect bits. Beautiful is always a work in progress. And I am beautiful. ~Haiti 2015
