I've never scrapped to preserve memories, I think the photos themselves do this. I do like though that our photos are looked at more since I started scrapping instead of just being hidden away in a box somewhere.
We all have different reasons why we scrap. I do it because it's a hobby, it's relaxing and I get to play with pretty things. It's all creative for me. I don't care who gets to keep (or throw away if the case may be) my albums in 100 years time. I scrap for my pleasure only.
So after reading their blogs I decided I needed to go simple and see if that helped get me going again....and it worked. I grabbed an old photo and a piece of bazzill and started from there. No layering, no measuring and no sorting through mountains of papers. I love this page :)

Have a look at my blog back here where I not quite so eloquently went through a similar thing

I love your work no matter how you scrap Ros. This layout is great. I scrap also cause I love the hobby but I sometimes am scrapping to please others not myself. Its meant to be enjoying :)
it's a striking page...glad to see you've got your mojo back.
Hi Ros, love your layout, I'm glad you're happy with it! On my blog there's a couple of things for you too.

looks great Ros .... look out now ...
Gorgeous pages Ros! Long time no see!
I'm going through a similar phase atm I think... i still need to work out why I scrap though! :) I love the idea of my kids being able to read a story about the photo to trigger memories, but I also love the creative side... still searching for the answer....
I started simple scrapping last week as I hadn't scrapped a LO in about 2 mths, and it definitely got my me back into the swing of things!
Good to see you're back into it too! As long as it makes you feel happy - keep doing it, I say!!
Good to 'see' you again mate!!
