Scrap Inspiration: Challenge 17
It’s time for a little Saturday Inspiration today on Tell Your Story Every Day!
Each Saturday we invite friends from all over our community to scrap a beautiful and meaningful layout for your viewing pleasure.
Our guest today is the talented Cynthia (a/k/a MrsPeel). Let’s get to know a little bit more about Cynthia today!
The Girl:
My name is Cynthia, Mrs. Peel out there in digi land (from The Avengers, an old 60′s British TV show in black & white I grew up with). I’m a Brazilian living in London, UK, now for over 20 years.
I had many professions… I was in the musical theatre/music industry and as in my time we didn’t have net or home recording studios like Macs have now. I had to do different things when I had no music jobs, but can say proudly that spent 30 years on stage, was also a beautician, a tour guide in Rio, a health advocate, & worked for the Metropolitan Police, Immigrations and Customs & Excise here in the UK, amongst other jobs.
I am now retired, had to retire early because of some gone wrong operations in 2003, have a LOT of health conditions which I am battling every day and Scrapbooking is my main pain relief therapy.
I’m a scrapaholic, totally addicted, and my main subject is my (gorgeous!!!!!even if I’m biased!LOL) 16 years old daughter Sarita. Our books are a kind of mixture of Project 52 weeks, 365, no rules, just scrapping events and daily life for her to have in the future. I know I am so thankful my mum kept so many photos…but at times she doesn’t know who the people in the photos are/were, or what was going on…and there is where I see the difference from albums to scrapbooking. My pages almost 99% of the time have journaling (or so many photos you get what is going on LOL). I love almost any style of digi scrapping, but prefer the imitating paper style. If I look at my page and feel I can touch the elements, then that makes my heart sing!
The Story:
Here is the layout that Cynthia created for us using Roots and Wings. Cynthia created a 2-page Layout, because that’s what she’s most comfortable creating. Feel free to lift either side, or if you’re feeling especially adventurous, go ahead and do the 2-pager!
I love how Cynthia scraps everyday life and fits so many photos beautifully on the page. The two pages match up so amazingly, too!
