Each week I share a scrapbook layout to inspire you to play with pretty pixels. Today I've asked Liberty Cameron from Liberty's Layouts to share some of her gorgeous pages!

What inspires you to create?

I am inspired to create so that I can tell my story. I use my scrapbooking as a way of journaling and keeping a record of my story. I LOVE photos, but I don't just want them sitting on my hard drive without the stories recorded. I use my scrapbooks to combine my photos with my journal and use it as a way to record my story for future generations. My son always teases me that when I'm old and I forget, I can just read all of my scrapbooks because I have EVERYTHING written down. {He's kind of right!} I can almost always find a photo or a story that I want to remember and more often than not I can settle a debate because it's all recorded in my scrapbooks!!

Because I use it to tell my story, and because I have a bad memory and want to have it all written down, I try to stay as current as possible. I try to scrapbook a little each week and stay caught up on the "theme" pages. I use my Facebook and Instagram posts to help me remember my everyday photos and I create a monthly page each month to capture all of my random photos that don't work on the theme pages.

Which digi supplies or designers do you use?

I am on the creative design team for Fayette Designs so I use a lot of her designs. I also love everything at Sweet Shoppe Designs and I love, love, love fonts!! 

What kind of printer or other supplies do you prefer?

I do all digital albums now, at one point I never thought I would ever say that, but I LOVE not having to get out all the mess to create a page or two. I print my albums with Blurb and I love their quality. I usually have 125-150 pages a year in an album and they look great in the hardcover albums sitting on my shelf!

Any special layouts you want to share about?

My most treasured album is a 160 page book of my mom's cancer journey. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but when I need to feel her close and read about her journey, I'm so grateful that I can pull my book off the shelf and read all of my feelings from those horrible 4 months. I put my heart and soul into that album and I can feel her close every time I look through it. 

How long you've been scrapping/crafting?

I've been scrapbooking since 1999 when my son was born. I wanted to record everything he did and all of the photos I took of him....and of course I cut all the photos into shapes and glued them onto paper with some kind of glue that you can never pull apart!! {oh the good old days!}

My name is Liberty Cameron, my user name is lbrtychic or libertyslayouts and I live in the suburbs of Chicago. I've lived here for about 17 years and I love it {except the weather!!} I have one son who is almost 19 and is my greatest joy!
