Darien
Tara
Melissa

So hop on over to our first blog and enjoy yourself!!

Today I’m going to share with you a layout I did for my dd's birthday. She just recently turned 2 and mommy was so excited to get her all dressed up in her party dress. To my surprise and delight, so was my daughter! She kept saying "I pitty, I pitty" (she is normally a bit of a tomboy, which is to be expected with 2 older brothers).

I wanted to focus on bright, girly colours and found the perfect combination in Crate Paper's Mia collection. The pearl flourishes are by ZVA Creative as well as the gorgeous mini rose blossoms.

The doilies are from the dollar store and I swiped the small one from a recent trip to a restaurant if you'd believe it! I hoard them - LOL! So easy to alter with a dab of paint or mist.


Well, that's it for me - just a fun summery layout to share with everyone - hope it inspires you to create something summery of your own!

Before you hop on over to Melissa's Blog you'll need to leave a comment to be entered into our random drawing.

Oh, and I almost forgot... MY SECRET WORD IS: ABSOLUTELY

Hinty Hint HERE:Join us for the Scrap That! hound hunt. That’s right you are on the hunt for a picture (of the canine variety) hidden somewhere in the Scrap That! store.

Once you find the hidden photo of the adorable Yorkie (‘er hound) - simply email Scrap That! and tell us in which product category of our website you saw it.

When you’ve done that, you’ll need to head over to our facebook page and become a FAN and then swing by our social community and become a member (if you haven’t already).

Your name will be entered into a random drawing to win a Cricut Personal Cutter valued at $225! Deadline for entries is midnight (PMT) July 12th. Only one entry per person please.

(International participants outside of Canada and USA must pay shipping.)

PHEW - did you get all that!??
