School holidays are the perfect time to get in some quality time scrapbooking with teenagers. And that’s just what I did last week. My 13 year old niece, Ashleigh and I spent a morning scrapping and having a wonderful time. So I thought I would show off her masterpieces (call it ‘Proud Auntie Syndrome’). 
This is the first page she created. The photos are of her elder sister, Jessica’s 12th birthday. She used Chatterbox Powder Puffs paper, white cardstock, red crate paper and Bo Bunny Barn Red Linen Alphabet Tags stickers.
I scrapped photos from the same event awhile ago. Funnily enough, my page actually looks quite similar. If you would like to see my take on it, you can find it here: http://www.stickersnfun.com/skch02.asp
This is the second page she created. It features her grandfather and two younger brothers. I’m not sure what the papers are (they came from her own stash) but she used dark blue Bazzill cardstock, orange Bazzill cardstock, blue thread, a blue pen. a selection of alphabet stickers and star stickers from Pebbles Inc My Guy Words stickers.
Ashleigh used sketches from my 500 Scrapbooking Sketches book to complete both pages. The sketches made it so easy for her to create these pages – she just had to find one she liked and get started. There was no umming and ahhing, just lots of fun. It turned out to be the perfect resource for scrapbooking with teenagers.

I really am a very proud aunt. I think Ashleigh did a wonderful job with her creations. Please let her know what you think by leaving her a comment below. I know it would just make her day!
Thank you.
i thought that they pages were really neat and ihope you can keep makeing new pages to add to a book and when she grows up you”ll be able to hand it to her personaly.
Just lovely, I like the colors and the way the pictures are layed out. Good job!
Nice pages. I have to teenage girls; scrapbooking may be the only thing I have that keeps their attention for more than ten minutes.

Hi Ashleigh. I love your scrapbook layouts particularly the one of grandfather and grandsons. My 7y.o & 5y.o girls are just getting into scrapbooking and I love to show them what other children and teenagers do on their layouts to give them some ideas when they get stuck. I know they’ll just love these!!!
Hi Ashleigh,
Wonderful job. Hope you enjoyed creating your pages. I love scrapping with my girls too although they are younger than you.
Keep up the great work.
Great work Ashleigh and how lucky to have your talented Aunties sketches to inspire you. I’m sure you will go on to be a very talented scrapbooker yourself if these pages are anything to go by. Well done……

Hi Ashleigh’
How fantastic to have a hobby you can share with your Mum and Aunt- somethimg special you will always have to do and talk about when you are together. I scrap with my daughter, who has children of her own, and we have so much fun. I have always believed that if you enjoy reading, you are never bored, but now I am adding scrapping to that!
Like you, I have used some of the 500 sketches and am thrilled with my efforts.
Keep scrapping- what a great start you have made!
Yours in scrapping,
Lorna
