Today is another special month to some of us as we again band together to each complete at least a layout each day each day for the whole month!  Our fearless leader, Lain Ehmann, will be providing scrapbooking prompts for LOAD512 Scrapbooking Outside the Box.  Lain’s blog at LayOutADay.com and her regular podcasts provide inspiration and fun!

During our last LOAD in February, I didn’t post every layout.  I’ll try to do better this month.

Here is a page from today’s prompt — a self portrait.  I find it difficult to scrapbook about myself, but if don’t do it, who will.  I wish I had stories from other women in my family who are no longer with us to share their stories.  I’ll share mine, while I am here and can remember some of them!

I love to know you stopped by, so leave a comment!

I got a little behind while I was traveling during part of February, but I caught up to finish my 29 layouts for the month!  I actually did 30 pages, as this last one was a 2-page layout!  We had a great time, and it is so much fun to see the pages everyone was creating and uploading each day to our Flickr.com group.  Congratulations to everyone — you’re each and everyone a star!

Here’s my last layout, showing all the pages I did for the month.

We are having a great time over at LayoutADay.com during the LOAD212 Past Perfect challenge!  Each day of February Lain Ehmann is providing a prompt for a scrapbook page.  You can either play along or just do your own thing for a page for the day.  It is fun to see how many interpretations there are for each day’s prompt!  It wouldn’t be fair for me to tell you the prompt, but I’ll share my page with you!

This page was actually made on my birthday, so it was kind of fun to do a page like this!  It seems like everywhere I’ve turned in the past few months, there is someone else urging us to scrapbook about our own story!  I hope you’ll work on your story about yourself!  Why not create a page with several pictures of yourself over time?
