Hopscotch Easter Layout

Where has the time gone?!  The whole summer has past without a post!  I almost forgot how to post on here! :)  Let me tell you....it has been a busy 5 months since I have been on here.  I won't go into any details, but I am still super busy...so I hope I can come back from time to time and post some artwork. 

I have a Hostess club coming up in a couple of weeks.  We are not making this layout, but I always like to have new scrapbooking and card making kits available for my customers to purchase.  I know, Christmas and Thanksgiving layouts seem more practical for this time of year, but I thought...why not get ahead and make something for Easter.  I will hopefully post some other kits soon.  Using up some bulk Hopscotch paper.  Love this paper pack and it is perfect for Spring/Easter layouts.  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Celebrate 4th of July Layout

Yay!!  Another post for you!  I am preparing scrapbook kits to sell at my next Hostess Club meetings.  We meet next month, so I have a little bit of time to prepare.  This one is the latest I have put together.  I love to have layouts done before the pictures are taken...that way I can plan on how many I need to take or if I should take them portrait or landscape.  One down...hopefully I can get done several more. :)  Thanks for stopping by!

Just a quick post today with another scrapbook kit.  This one is a super fun one...but was very time consuming to put together.  There was a lot of pieces to cut to make these kits.  Again, I used up some older paper in my stash.  Yay!!  I hope you enjoy this one!  Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.

Boys will be Boys!

I have been a Close To My Heart consultant since 2005.  I know...almost 10 years!! :) :) I have been hoarding this paper called, Cocoa Café, for who knows how long!  I think maybe 2006.  I have quite a bit of it too.  I think I have a serious problem...I am not sure why I don't use up my paper right away.  Maybe I think that if I use it up....I won't have any left for when I have the perfect pictures to match it.  I know...CRAZY!!  Also, I seem to not follow through with my annual New Year's resolution of using up my old paper stash.  So...I am going to give it a go again and have the same resolution this year.  Here's hoping I follow through this time!!  Since I have a lot of this paper left, I think I will make it a kit and sell a couple of these layouts.  That is one way of cutting my stash away! ;) 

Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.
