Most of my scrapbooking is done in 12" x 12" albums, but as they won't fit my scanner,
I've shared some pages from my 8" x 10" holiday albums here.

I began scrapbooking in 1994, when I found that all my carefully preserved photo albums were not preserved at all, but because I had chosen magnetic albums, my pictures were being systematically destroyed. I was introduced to Creative Memories, embraced their message,
and decided to make it one of my life's goals to prevent this catastrophe from befalling anyone else.

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

Contact a Creative Memories Consultant as quickly as you can to learn how to safely and creatively preserve your photographic memories.

My consultant here in Fayetteville, NC is Kathy Taylor.  She's young, beautiful, helpful, enthusiastic, and a really great consultant.
Unfortunately for me, she's moving to England this summer, bless her heart.

Vickie's Village: <http://www.playhere.com/scrapbooking/bdrideas.htm>

This is the site I "misplaced" for months. The layouts are okay, but the three pages
(don't be fooled into thinking there are only two!) of borders are SUPERB!

I'm fighting mounting hysteria here.  This page, my very favorite, has DISAPPEARED!

I FOUND IT!  
It took me until 03/04/03, but I found it:

The Kreative Korner: http://www.thekreativekorner.com/

This site is undergoing a makeover.  It will be interesting to see what new things it has to offer. 
Originally designed for Creative Memories Consultants, it is VERY extensive, so look around!
There are some beautiful designs here.

Timeless Treasures Scrapbooking: http://www.timelesstreasure.com/border.html

This site seems to have disappeared as well.  I think I'm going to be sick.

Creative Borders: http://www.creativeborders.com/

Sheila Fulgenzi of Orlando, FL is a former CM Consultant
who decided she preferred designing to teaching, so she opened an online business.
Obviously, most of her designs are for sale,but she does have some free samples available with complete directions.
Very nice.

Lots of great ideas, plus you may also purchase Mrs. Grossman's stickers here - with free postage!

Julie Hansby is an individual hobbyist, but she does have some cute ideas here.

When I'm not using Creative Memories stickers, I prefer to use Mrs. Grossman's, simply because I am assured of their quality.
I started with them, and still have a vast collection, so by continuing to use them, my pages have a more unified appearance.

My Immortal

- Evanescence


I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]
