Roundup Time!

It's the end of another month so it's roundup time over at Flamingo Scraps. What does that mean you ask? Well this is when the Guest Design Team (which I'm a part of) show their creations using products from the Flamingo Scraps store.
If you haven't checked out the store you better do that too. The girls have the coolest things!
So off you go and check out what my fabulous friends have made right here!

Soccer star in the Making
