Lucky: It's Your Birthday! CELEBRATE

Hello there!  I can't believe I am posting once again this month...what do you know!!  I must be on a roll. ;)

I cannot take very much credit for this fun card.  I found it on Debbie Carriere's blog and HAD to make it.  I didn't have all of the material that she used, so I did improvise a little.  This is a great card to add to my masculine birthday card pile.  It can be tough to make a good "guy" card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sports Layout: September Hostess Club

 

Hello! Wow!!  September is already half way through, can you believe it!?  I am in a scrapbooking mood this month.  I was able to attend a scrapbooking retreat last weekend.  I got 10 2-page layouts done.  For me, that is good.  I spend way too much time on each layout wondering what special touches I want to add to each.  I am a SLOOOOOW scrapbooker.  Ah well!!!  I so enjoyed the time.  Before I went, I put this layout together for my Hostess Club this month.  I had a special request for a sports layout.  I decided to do it a little differently this time and have my members pick out what accent color they would like to add to their layout.  That way they can choose their color based on their teams colors...genius, right?! ;)  Also, I have a stamp with different themes (soccer, baseball, basketball...etc.) they get to choose the sport too.  Fun!!  My son is not too sporty, so I don't make sports layouts very often.  I think it turned out pretty well.  Thanks for stopping by!
