Introduction:
I always appreciate when manufacturers create coordinating papers and embellishments and do all the matching for us! And if you love making your own paper embellishments, you can make flowers from your die cut templates, while saving yourself a lot of money, and make use of your coordinating papers! That is what I did with this beautiful paper from Basic Grey. Since these papers were double sided, I was able to die cut some flowers, and as I layered them, I switched sides for some contrast. I used their coordinating buttons and brads for the centers.

Today we wanted to share with you another poem....we're giving it our Honorable Mention award! It was not easy to pick a winner...so please show some love for Wendy Myers and her poem:
Scrappin Fools
We have so much fun we could never explain it.We laugh, we talk, and we have great fun
We talk about everything under the sun.
We always have gifts for each other it seems
Sometimes only we know what they mean
We each have our ways, but we are never boring
Sometimes it’s talking for others it’s snoring.
Dancing and eating and scrap lifting are favorites
but those around us probably hate it
WOO HOO
With all of the memories we have in our mind
We don’t want any to get left behind.
We put them on pages to keep or to give
To show all the happy and sad things we did.
We have lots of gadgets, stickers and glue
But all that we need is an idea or two.
To complete a page and have so much fun
It’s amazing that we get anything done.
But when it’s concluded and we are done
I know there will always be another one.
Until next time I’ll keep you all in my heart
My Sisters in Scrappin
I Love you a lot
Wendy Myers
