Feels Like Home Click image to enlarge Designer: Katrina Simeck For me, scrapbooking is all about telling stories. It’s a great way to capture bits of your own story…your own heritage. This layout is a simple tribute to the town that my parents live in. It’s a town that I’ve lived in twice…once as a child, and once as an adult. It’s a layout about a part of MY story. I wanted to keep the design simple, but still interesting. Rather than one large journaling square, I decided to use a series of journaling blocks to record the story. Difficulty rating
