LOL!  Here is a brief photo summary of the projects we made. ************************************************************* Wall Hanging w/Elegant Paper Flowers ~ designed by…

{Scheduled Post} Hey friends! Remember when I did the Scrap My Scraps challenge last year?  We had some fabulous fun with that one and I wanted to do it again, but haven’t really dug into my scrap heap quite yet.  However, I made a card recently using some paper that I was not “overly fond of” and have gobs left… Here’s the card with some snippets of the paper on it: What you also don’t see is the purple collection…

OH I also made a fun PAPER scrapbook layout that I can’t show you until after CU as well. I’m…
