Catalyst 76 – Sisters



Creative therapy’s catalyst seventy-six is up: Take the time to create art around something you have been meaning to but haven’t done so yet.



My words:
I started scrapbooking when my first son was born and while I have scrapped a lot of his life and some of my life since then, I have never scrapped my past. Not one page about my childhood. And nothing about my sister so I decided it was time to start.


Journaling Reads:
there are so many memories
so many moments
waiting to be preserved

some of my best memories are with you
so many of my unforgettable moments
summers in burgaz

years of whispering in bed
laughter
so much laughter
so much love
one day i will sit down and
i will write them down
and that little book
will be one i cherish forever
i want to remember
even the sad moments
forever

cause i shared them with you
i love you with all my heart
my sister
i love you

  • I’m very interested in digital bookscrapping for family memories. Your post about what you did for your sister has reminded me that I need to get started on it. I have lots of old family pictures, and need to find the right software to get started. Any suggestions?

    hey chet! sorry just saw this! i use photoshop honestly and i love it. i also use indesign sometimes for plainer layouts. do you have either?

  • Karen – Photoshop is too fancy and expensive for me. I use an old version of Paint Shop Pro, but when I opened your downloads on it, they all appeared as single layers, so I’m thinking of upgrading to the latest version. It’s now owned by Corel.

    I love your site, especially your pictures – they make me smile and make things better for me. Thanks!

    aww thank you so much for your kind words!! 🙂 do you mean the overlays? they are only one layer. they are meant to be put on top of your photos. they should be one layer but transparent. makes sense?

  • Yes, now I understand. I guess I confused overlay with layer! Shows you how little I know, and what a lot I need to learn! Thanks.

  • karen

    np. trust me, i get confused too 🙂
