Getting on a Scrapbook Design Team

So many of us, after we have been scrapping for years, want to get on a design team for a blog or website. This is not always easy.

A Layout of Nicknames

As most parents, when my children were born, I was constantly giving them little nicknames. It seems that when they are babies, you can’t help but want to give them all kinds of cute names that you think of when you look at them.
