CLEAR SCRAPS MASCILS

 

Check out another Bible Journaling page that

Cat has done!

This time, she used a "mascil" from

Clear Scraps.

What is a "mascil", you say?

It is a combination mask and stencil.

She got in quite a few and this one

was her favorite!

So, if you have been thinking about taking the 

Bible Journaling class on the 8th, 

call the store now to sign up.

This is just one of the goodies that she

has ordered for us for that class.

I know I am really looking forward to it!

Authentique Layout Fun with Ann

Our own Grannie Annie, aka Ann Laughlin, has been hitting the Authentique Papers hard and heavy this past week. She has been creating layouts with 3 of the new collections we have in the store now. Just look at these wonderful layouts and feel free to scraplift.

 I just love how perfect this Infused collection worked for her granddaughter's first birthday smash cake pics. This little toot was getting into that cake. (Takes after her Grannie Annie, LOL!)

 Ann always had great material for her pages with her two youngest grand babies.  They are the only girls. It is always a fun time with them  The Legacy collection was used on these two pages.

One thing about our Ann--she loves to travel. This trip to Cabo was a last minute all of a sudden hey it will work kind of vacation with one of her daughters.  Love the gorgeous pics she took. Really love how well the Seaside collection really pops them off the pages.

Wonderful job on these layouts Ann!  Now let's see what you can do with these for inspiration ladies!!  Have fun creating!
