So, we’ve been time traveling this week, but hold onto your hats, cuz now were zooming ahead to the end of 2009. At that time I was frustrated at the thought of trying to get caught up in my scrapbooking. Then I read…
We’re still time traveling in 1988. Another simple layout that focuses on the photos, with just a few Jolee’s stickers to accent. The title was made with the Vintage Market Sizzlits Decorate Strip Die, and Vintage Photo Distress ink was used on the…
