This Week's Make N Takes

Why hello friends. Nicole here with a little confession... I'm a day late sharing this week's Make N Takes and apologize greatly. Last week, I had a problem with my camera, and yesterday I forgot my laptop at home. Wowza! I'll admit my technology dependence! Next week I'll work extra hard to get these posted early for you! Let's even shoot for Sunday! 

Now let's get on to the three cards. Stop into Creations Galore through Saturday, April 28th to make one, two, or all three! We'll supply all the materials, tools, stamps, and ink, along with step-by-step instructions and be on hand to help. All you need to bring along is your favorite adhesive and some foam risers! For more information about the techniques used on each card, visit our Make N Take page.

Why hello scrapbookers! We're back for another edition of Layout Tuesdays with this delightful page. Easter has come and gone, but let's not forget about all those adorable images we took! Preserve the memories, egg hunts, and snazzy outfits. 

But what if you want to stay away from glitter, pink and purples, flowers, and all those gag-worthy, girly, Easter-themed papers and embellishments? Take a look at this page full of neutrals, fit for the little man in your life.


There is a wide range of stickers and computer fonts available to create titles for your layouts. However, don't throw out the option of your own handwriting. It's unique to you. In our digital age, full of texts, emails, and facebook posts, personal script is a rare and special sight.
