Maggie Massey of Midwestern Girl, loves to get creative! Even though she is busy being "Mom" she still makes time to get crafty! Whether it is with home decor, a quick sewing project, or playing with paper, she makes time to create memories that last!
When did you start scrapbooking?
I started in high school (about 25 years ago!) by putting photos
into albums and then cutting out words and letters from magazines and
gluing them in...and then I made my first more "modern" scrapbook after a
girls' trip to Cancun about 16 years ago...I've
been hooked ever since!
My kids really keep me motivated. Unfortunately, my Mom didn't have the time (or inclination?) to keep a record of our lives growing up and I sometimes really wish she had. There are so many things that I want my kids to remember...and so many things I want to remember for them. Plus, I just really love the artsy aspect to scrapbooking...I love making something out of little bits and pieces and I really need to feed my desire to create.
What do you use the most to take photos with?
Well, that really depends. I guess lately I've been using my
cell-phone mostly to document everyday life. But for special occasions
(birthdays, holidays etc.) I use my DSLR.
What is on your scrapbook table right now?
Right now I have 2 projects that are in the works...some layouts
that need to be photographed...3 bottles of Color Shine...paper
scraps...an audio book (I love love love to listen while I scrap)...my
art journal...and a torn up t-shirt I use to clean up
messes.
What do you do to celebrate National Scrapbook Day?
I love checking out various scrapbooking sites on NSD...they
usually have tons of inspiration available! I also try to do something
creative...even if it's only working on a small project with the kids.
