My Hair is Blowing in the Wind!

It's not my favorite photo, but there is something about it that is real and natural for my "me" scrapbook.

It was a windy day! We were out at the lake so that I could get some photos of Rachel. After a while, she turned the camera on me and took some shots. I've been holding onto this photo for months until I found the perfect paper to use.

Here's how I put this page together...

I used loads of different products. I really love the background paper and banner. They are from the Glitz Design - Cashmere Dame collection. I also used some goodies from Allison Kreft's - Recorded collection. The butterfly was made with a Stampin' Up butterfly punch.

I'm a sketch kinda girl, so I used a fun one from Creative Scrappers.

They even had a great idea on their blog. Why not flip the sketch? That's what I ended up doing for this page. 

Do you ever flip your sketches?

Pretty Up Your School Year!

I've got a fun Epiphany Crafts project for ya today!

The school year has started and I have my classroom decorated with happy décor for my students. I also like to organize my desk in fun ways too. One way that I do that is to dress up my files. I need files for lesson plans, for grading, to organize essays, etc.

I dressed up a Heidi Swapp memory file. This project is not just for teachers. They are also great for your kiddos too. It's a great way to keep them organized.

I also made my own handmade buttons using Epiphany Crafts Round 25 and Shape Studio Flower 25 Tools.

I also used a variety of school themed SRM Stickers including "Express Yourself - School" and "Say it With Stickers - Teacher".

I also added a handmade button & SRM Sticker to a clothespin. This would also make a great gift for your child's teacher.

I'm entering this one into the Curtain Call - Back to School Challenge.

I hope your kiddos have a great school year!

Supplies Used:

Epiphany Crafts Button Round 25 Tool & Bubble Caps

Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Flower 25 tool & Bubble Caps

Memory File: Heidi Swapp

Stickers and Pencil: SRM Stickers

Crepe Paper Trim: Glitz

Clothespin & Crochet Twine: JoAnn's
