Wanted

Happy National Scrapbook Month!! I'm still recovering from a weekend of scrapbooking for a total of 19 hours with 128 other crazy scrappers. Isn't that insane? Even though I'm now buried in housework and laundry (the price you pay) it was so much fun! I completed 18 pages! Okay, that's a lot for me! This is a page I actually made last week using the stamp sets Wanted and Bronc Buster with our Outlaw paper. I also used our very fun chipboard. For the small letters I just sponged them with chocolate chip craft ink. For the number one, I covered the chipboard with our glue stick glue, placed it down on the back side of the pattern paper, and trimmed around it with a craft knife. You don't have to be perfect because you can just sand off the rough edges with a sanding block. It's super easy. I also used the sanding block to sand the edges of my pictures to add to the old time feel of the page. That was a little scary, but I love the effect. I used our two star punches, the dog tag punch, and my Cricut to cut out the frame.

If you like the chipboard, now is the time to get it! This month, when you spend $35, you can have all of the chipboard your heart desires for 25% off!

These pages are of the wagon races my son took first place in at his school. He built this wagon with a little help from dad, and I let him use my sewing machine to make the cover. I don't think I've ever seen him more proud than he was on this day.
