Citrus Twist just released a FREE printable and cut file collection called Raised Voices. This set was created to recognize and highlight the recent call to action for a greater focus on social justice issues. I am very happy to share these awesome digital products with you!
To download these awesome printables and cut files, click HERE!
As scrapbookers, we have a unique opportunity to document the events that have a major impact on the world around us. From the Black Lives Matter protests, to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions impacting the LGBTQIA community and DACA recipients, scrapbooking is a way for us to process and capture all that is happening through pictures and words.
This free download includes printable cutapart elements, journaling cards and cut files (SVG, PNG, and PDF formats). This collection can be used for a variety of projects from traditional scrapbooking, pocket layouts, traveler’s notebooks spreads, and more.
Stay tuned throughout the month of June for more Raised Voices projects from the Citrus Twist Design Team, along with the guest designers, Jennie Garciaand yours truly!
Today is the launch of the Summer 2020 issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine! I am so excited to announce that I am one of the contributors for this issue. This is the firsttime my work has been published in a major scrapbooking/crafting magazine!
You can access the FREE digital copy of this issue HERE, or consider becoming a subscriber by clicking HERE. This issue is jammed packed with tons of creative ideas and inspiration for scrapbooking your summer memories!
I will be able to share my project with you in July so stay tuned. Meanwhile, if you have a hard copy or view the digital issue, you can find me on page 31!
A big THANK YOU to Scrapbook and Cards Today for this amazing opportunity!
In celebration and in recognition of the LGBTQ community, June was designated as PRIDE Monthin 1999, an annual month-long observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history, and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements.
A few years ago, I shared on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel that my wife Aubree (formerly Bryan, my husband), came out as transgender (male to female). In recognition of PRIDE 2020, I want to share a little bit about our journey and how I am documenting this change through words and photos.
To see the process video for this layout, click on the video below!
Aubree and I have been married for almost 12 years. During our marriage, we have weathered many storms. However, her transition has been the biggest test to our marriage thus far. At one point, I wasn’t sure how I was going to document her transition. Initially, I wasn’t in a good emotional state to talk about my feelings…I simply did not have the words.
Overtime, I made a commitment to myself to be as authentic as possible in my storytelling – warts and all. I wanted to find a way to document Aubree’s story, respecting her voice and her experiences, but also documenting my journey as her wife and the experiences of our daughter Corinne.
This layout is the first of many to come as I begin this journey of documenting our story. I hope that our story is accepted with open eyes and hearts. And I hope that you are inspired to document your life as authentically as possible. More to come!
