Scrapbooking Bible Study - Choose Joy Finale

Hey Scrappy Friends -
I apologize for being SO delayed with the "finale" piece to this class!  Although you've had all of the lessons, I did want a chance to post my album in it's entirety as well as one last video.  I wasn't sure what video to use until I saw that Kay Warren posted a "Catastrophic Grief" video just this week.  Our class had often wondered how Kay would change or adapt her Choose Joy book after experiencing the sudden loss of her son to suicide last year.  I was thankful to hear this message from her.  For those of you who have experienced such catastrophic loss, I hope it will bring you a message of hope and comfort.



Here is the album I completed for this study:

Whether you create a scrapbook or not, I HIGHLY recommend Kay Warren's book.  It truly helps you adjust your perspective and choose JOY each and every day!

Thanks for doing this study with me!

The complete collection is ON SALE at all of my stores.

Mother's Day is coming!

If you've just realized that MOTHER'S DAY is THIS Sunday (and you need a gift for your mom, aunt, grandma, nana, neighbor, daughter, or friend)), I've got a lot of options for you in the MyMemories store!

If you use MMS (any version), snag this CRAFTABLE TEMPLATE - it's 8"x8" so you can easily print on 8.5"x11" cardstock, trim, and frame it.  It includes both the "MOM" title and a "GRANDMA" title in case you want to adapt it!

For more layout options, I have ALBUM TEMPLATES in two sizes just waiting for you to add your photos and print.  (Images are linked)

  

Album Templates are completely customizable in MMS: you can add/delete/adjust/or change anything on the page!  Plus you get all of the background papers and embellishments you see in the previews to use again and again in other projects!

Don't have MMS?  Want it?  Use this COUPON CODE to save $10: STMMMS90118

If you don't use MMS, or just want to create your own keepsake, the MY MOM Mega Kit is ON SALE.  You can snag it for UNDER $5.00!

SHOP THIS WAY

Wishing you and all of the MOMS in your life a wonderful weekend!

Blog Train brought to you by some of my favorite scrappy friends!  This month, we picked our favorite SPORT. Now if you are a regular follower of my work, you know that I actually don't enjoy sports at all, BUT because my kids play

For this train, I went with a long-standing request I've had for a 

SWIM and DIVE Team Kit.  

I have created a complete collection, and am offering a sampler of this collection as my Blog Freebie today.

This is the complete Series:
