You can only post once. and have until April 3rd to post. On the 4th I will randomly choose a winner and send you a wonderful scrappy prize!! So who wants to help me get through the next two weeks??

Mommy's Chapstick

I created this LO for a Challenge over on the All Moments Remembered site.
We had to incorporate those word quote bubbles in our LO. At first I did not think I would be able to come up with something, until I came across this photo and thought it would be perfect. Gotta love my dog Rigley, he just makes any LO, POP!!
Enjoy


I used Piggy Tales-paper, Cricut-CU, Printed out the quote bubbles.

Catch of the Day

I just love the new WRMK paper I bought the other day. So bright and cheerful.

Crafty Day

Yesterday i was cleaning out my scrap room and made a pile of things for my daughters to have. They both decided to get a little crafty with their new stash. My oldest made these cute "Free Passes" for me. I thought it was so sweet! A free hug, A day of Quiet, Dinner! She really put some thought into some of the things she could do to brighten my day.



My youngest took some scraps and made these cute LO's. She just loves the photo of her cousin taking a nap with our dog.
I am so proud of both of them, and I'm glad they enjoy being crafty.
