Behind the Plate

My son has always loved baseball, but his favorite position this year was catcher. I wanted a modern, yet vintage feel so I selected the patterned papers that would provide that look.

I have been paper crafting with my mom at the kitchen table since I was a child. We did everything from decoupage to sewing to painting to macrame and all paper crafts. I’ve been creating for as long as I remember. In the last 13+ years, my passion for scrapping was rekindled with the birth of my son. Not having a lot of memories of my growing up years (and even fewer pictures), I wanted to be able to document our lives so that my son would have something to remember in years to come.
About 12 years ago, Mom handed me a bag of pictures she had acquired when her mother died about 30 years previously. Mom couldn’t look at those pictures and just put them in a closet. When I started inquiring into family history, she surprised me with this bag and I was amazed at what I found: a picture of my great, great grandmother (circa 1860); pictures from my Mom’s childhood; hundreds of black and white photos, wonderful photos of people I knew by name, but had never met. Unfortunately some of those pictures Mom cannot remember; some of the faces are familiar, but who are they? This is what I don’t want to happen, therefore, I scrap.
