I have been meeting a lot of new people lately (and through facebook reconnecting with long lost school mates) and I’m never quite sure what to say when they say what do you do? I usually say this: I am a stay at home mom with two boys. I do a little photography and I scrapbook. (insert their puzzled face). Then I add: some people watch tv, some people read or play video games or sports, I scrapbook. I take pictures of our life, I scrapbook them and share them through my blog, through online forums, and this past year I’ve actually been published a few times! Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don’t, but it’s part of me and what I do! I have made many friends through the online world of scrapbooking and for this I am thankful. There are a few people who are on the lookout for new talent to show off their fabulous products and I wanted to share my scrapbooking with them. I am a faithful, dedicated, loyal lady who loves scrapbooking.
Here are a few of my recent favorites:
I also wanted to share the latest three layouts from the June/August issue of Memory Makers
Thanks for stopping by! I have so many things to do in the next few days! If I don’t get back before then, please have a safe and happy 4th of July!
Love Love and Blog you later!
Joscie, rhymes with bossy
LOVE I Will Get On That… Tomorrow – very pretty (and funny, too).
And I’ve decided not to let those puzzled faces get to me! We should be proud of what we do! :)
Cheers!
Gosh I love your work, Josie!
Been a little while since I visited here and your LO’s made me want to run home and pull out my paper and pictures! Thanks for the inspiration!
very well said. Most people I talk about scrapbooking to don’t really get it either. I feel like there’s this whole scrapbooking world/sub-culture that nobody knows about and I’m happy and proud to be a part of it.
Very cool Joscie. I love your layouts, not just because they are gorgeous, but because I see a lot of you in them… I see your fun spunky self in every layout you do!! :) (btw, I really, really, really, love the top layout…. all that yummy sewing!!)
I adore that last layout of your husband’s promotion…and YOU look gorgeous in that red dress!!!
Wonderful stuff Joscie! Very inspiring. :) Hope you have a lovely 4th as well.
PS. I totally understand the puzzled looks and blank stares!
I love it :) The colors and papers on the first layout are fabulous. I love how you layer elements and I always love the sewing touches you add to your layouts.
You definitely have your own style and I love it! All the layouts are fantastic.
Joscie,
I have been reading your blog for a while. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your beautiful pages. You inspire me to look and my family and my pages in a different light.

P.S.
My sister Kristi (pastrymama) had a chance to meet you aand have coffee while back.
Hi Joscie! I’ve visited your blog many, many times and I simply love the *work* you do! Be proud, stand tall….you are an inspiring individual to many of us! How about referring those puzzled faces to take a look at your blog and then they can see what it’s all about!
Keep up the amazing photography images, the amazing digital design work (how do you do all of that?) and the amazing scrapbooking [and cards, and sewing] that you do because we LOVE it!
Thanks for sharing! ~Carla
