birthday time!

Hi, everyone! Welcome to stop #24 on the ScrapMatters Birthday Blog Train . . . how fun to be a part of this!

If you've come here looking for my old blog and don't really know what all this is about, well ScrapMatters is a digital scrapbooking site. I am on the hybrid creative team there, and we have put together a blog train where people can come get 5x7 quick page freebies. I've decided to devote this blog just to scrapbooking for now. So, there you go!

As part of the birthday celebrations, we are talking about traditions, and we have a lot of fun traditions in our family. One of my kids' favorite birthday traditions is the "money jar" at Grandma's and Grandpa's. My mom saves all their spare change (only silver, no pennies!) in a big jar, and every year on their birthday, the kids get to stick one hand in the jar and grab as much as their hand will hold. They look so forward to the money jar, and as they grow it's fun to watch their total $$ count go up each year.

Okay, on to the freebies. I have created two 5x7 brag book quick pages to add to your growing collection, plus a printable candy bar wrapper. The candy bar wrapper is sized to fit a regular 1.55 oz Hershey's bar. You just print it, cut it out, and wrap it around the Hershey's. Here's a preview:



You can download them here. Enjoy!

If you just got here, stop #23 is Kari (a very talented member of our hybrid team), so just click on her name to go see what she's cooked up, and you can backtrack from there.
