Good morning and happy National Scrapbooking Day!!!  Yay! 

The All Day Challenge is up in the NSBD 2008 forum, so I will post my layout here to give you an idea of what we are looking for.  If you have read my column, then you already know that I am all about the stories that make up our lives.  Every day we are creating a story, and we can't forget to document it!  So, here we go.  Let's create a layout that documents a story.  Any story that you want to tell. 

I am actually making an album entitled, "What's Your Story?" for my family.  This is just one page from the album, but you get the idea.

Step #1.  Arrange all of your stuff in a location that allows for mazimum productivity.  Ok, that totally doesn't apply in my case.  For me, I arrange all of my stuff on the dining room table and force my family to eat on the floor.  The also allows for my dear husband to comment, loudly, "Where did all of that come from?"

  Step #2.  I love, love, love coordinating lines of paper, such as the SEI Dill Blossom line.  Patterned paper, cardstock, stickers, alphas, rub-ons and some epoxy amazing-ness are already perfectly matched up.  I seriously love when I don't have to coordinate stuff. 

Step #3.  The pictures.  Once you know what story you are going to tell, this should be easy.  I always do my journaling first, so the pictures are pretty easy to come up with.

Step #4.  Embellish and add the all important journaling.  As you can see, I added this to a piece of chipboard.  It will be part of my mini-album. 

That's my take, what's yours??  I can't wait to see your layouts!!!
