About me

Hi! My name is Shelly, welcome to my lil scrap spot blog!
As you can tell it is really about scrapbooking for me. I love scrapbooking! I am so very very passionate about creating a lasting legacy for generations to come to view. Its hit me extra hard in the last year as I became a grandmother twice over. I have a beautiful grandson named Braedan and gorgeous granddaughter named Kyleigh. While I was raising my children, I never thought there could ever be a better feeling then being a mom, and then the most wonderful thing happened. My daughter gave me a grandson. I have never in my life felt anything like this. It is the most wonderful feeling on earth. Then later that same year, my oldest son gave me a granddaughter. Oh how could my heart hold anymore love!!
I have had an amazing time.
I love my family and friends passionatly. I wouldnt trade anything for them, yes we have some bad times, but its all worth it.
I hope you like the posts I create here and will come back and share things with me also.

First Post For Sunday

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful, wonderful Sunday.
My husband Troy finally put our flag pole up and old Glory is waving beautifully in the light breeze outside.

I decided to do a double layout for my first post today. My husband and I are going on our first camping trip of the year in 2 weeks. I decided to go ahead and premake some layouts so I could just come home, print out the pix and add them to my scrapbook!

These are made with Close To My Heart Products. To get the recipe and directions for this double layout please contact me at: shellyford@myctmh.com These layouts were so simple to do! And I love the way they turned out, I cannot wait to go on our camping trip, not only for the sure fun of camping, but so I can add more memories of the time that we spend together!




While you are scrapbooking, I hope that you take the time to add YOU to your scrapbook layouts. I find that I'm the one on the "other" side of the camera pretty much of the time. Then I read an article that came out in our CTMH newsletter that made stand and pay attention. I have so many scrapbooks, but now that I think of it, I'm not sure all of them have much to do with ME. I take the pictures of everyone else, I enjoy that, but, the article was correct, how am I going to leave a legacy to my grandbabies if I don't put ME in the layouts as well.
So I have taken a vow to put more of ME in my layouts, I want my grandchildren and all future generations to be able to look back and say wow, Mammaw sure did some fun things and now we know all about her life!
So join me won't you? Take a vow today, that you will start putting more of YOU in your layouts. And please, don't be shy, share those memories with me. I would love to see what you scrapbook about!
Until next time,
Have a Blessed Day
