Product Highlight: Back to School
Have your little ones gone back to school? My oldest started last week and my youngest starts this week. I am looking forward to getting back into an exercise routine with my free time. If you have children, I'm sure you have pictures of them in their new duds proudly standing in front of your front door or maybe you're more creative and use little chalkboards, apples and other fun props. In any event, I'm sure you have at least one picture that needs to be scrapped. The Lilypad has lots of goodies in the store that would be perfect for scrapping your back to school pictures. There are even some very cute printables. Take a look - all images are linked. Happy scrapping! … [Read more...]
