Welcome Erin, Michelle's new Grapevine kit & freebie

I have some great news . . . We have a new member joining our Crafty Scraps Creative Team. Her name's Edina and you're gonna love her work. . . Check out her blog . . .She'll be posting freebies for you too >wink<. . .

Michelle has a beautiful new kit called Grapevine . . .

This first layout is by Edina . . . Don't you just love it . . .

And here are a few layouts I did . . .

My little guy as pageboy in 2004 . . .

You can get this layout as a FREEBIE QP (8x8) at the Crafty Scraps Forum or (8x10) on Facebook, available only to friends of Zabra Scrap . . .

The pics in the next 2 layouts were taken during lunch at my DH's work (3 Jan 2011). . . The boys spent the day with him and I met up with them for lunch :) . . . It was a rather crazy day ... I was running late for lunch & couldn't find my keys, so I grabbed the spare set. Then when I got to DH's work, I put the gearlock on without thinking, completely forgetting that the only gear lock key is on my original keys!!  LOL :) I ended up having to take DH's car home to find my keys LOL!! What a day LOL :)

And your freebie for today . . . Click image to download

8x10 also available on Facebook (only to friends of Zabra Scrap!) so invite me now :)  

Some inspiration & freebie from Dina's With Luv QP

It's been a bit crazy on my side, but I thought I'd show you a card I made my sister & her hubby for their 50th birthday this month . . .

I scrapped it using Michelle's ME & YOU kit . . .

  
I also have a freebie Quick Page for you from Dina's (Best Kept Memories)'s With Luv kit . . .
