I decided I need an assistant to help me at my booth when I set up at these fairs. Someone to scrapbook while I talk up customers. It is essential for people to see how easy it is to scrapbook in order to entice them to buy my goods and services. Otherwise they look at the pages and albums I have on display and think scrapbooking is totally beyond them. I did one page at the fair I did last week, but it was impossible to "man" the booth and scrapbook at the same time.
So I'm trying to convince one of my nieces to do it. She has never scrapbooked before but she is very artistically talented, and she has a little time on her hands. She came over for me to show her what it was all about and we did this page together (the photos are of her; DH took them at a family function and she had never seen them!)
We browsed my pinterest boards and chose to adapt a sweet LO by Paula Gilarde. We pulled elements from a bunch of different Studio Calico 2011 kits. When it came to what the page would be about she was stumped. I looked at the photos and said, "it looks to me like you're saying 'maybe'," and she agreed. So I told her, "write down five sentences off the top of your head starting with the word maybe right now." And voila, the journaling.
So we'll see if this works out. At the very least, I enjoyed making a page with her, and she loves it.
If you haven't already, please "like" me on facebook. Thanks to those who have already.
Until soon... .

Beautiful! It looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing, and I'm delighted that you stopped by my blog.
I think this is really excellent! Gosh if I had a page like this as my first I would be over the moon!! Hope you find the perfect assistant soon...Maybe some step by step photos on display might be cheaper than having to pay someone else?
