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!

One of the challenges during the crop at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking was to make a monochromatic layout.

I made this card during the SAS crop for the cure. I love the swiss dot embossing folder!

Soccer star in the Making

I wanted to share this layout about my grandnephew Ryan and his first year of playing soccer. His favourite part was being the goalie. I think it had something to do with the big gloves! LOL!
