Michelle's the next winner for bringing back last month's project all finished and updated with photos.  Now I know what you're thinking, but disregard that thought.  She didn't cut those pictures out of magazines; that's really her husband with their baby.  I know, right?

Close to My Heart gets credit for the paper; Michelle's husband gets credit for the hotness.

We use the Cricut all the time when it is Di's Project Night...

That's Melissa's first time using the Cricut.  That's NOT Bradley's first photobomb. 

I love when these two are at my house!

Digi Scrappers, be amazed!

Here's a badge to get to the best online scrapping site anywhere. It's only $6.95 for a two page layout and it's printed and shipped to your home. No kidding! Let me know if you'd like to get in on the next Studio J digital scrapbooking class I'm giving and I'll walk you through it; you just bring your flashdrive with some photos and I'll show you how good it all looks with just a few minutes.
In real life, I'm am elementary librarian.  This quickie bulletin board went together in just half an hour.  Scrappers think of bulletin boards as just an oversized layout.  It's kind of like blending my two worlds, huh?
What do librarians (who moonlight as scrapbookers) do with a wonderful book when it gets ruined?  Well, we turn it into something else, of course!

The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a beloved book so when it received water damage, I tore out the pages and decoupaged them onto a yucchy table that was at the curb on garbage day.  Score!

That table's not so yucchy, anymore...


Andrea has won prizes two months in a row for bringing back projects with her own photos mounted.  We love to see our finished products! Go, Andrea!


Who else rocks it?  Julie used our Surf's Up! papers with photos from Seattle she brought.  That girl comes prepared!  We love our Julie!
