Hello,

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!!
Are you crafting today?

I have to work, but I'll try to work on some scrapbook pages later tonight.
Meanwhile, I thought I would share some old scrap pages...old school stuff! that I haven't shared on my blog before...


Remember epoxy stickers? I used to love them!
I wish they would stay flat though...well, I guess the enamel stickers kind of replaced them...now I can't get enough of enamel dots and shapes...haha

Have a nice weekend!
