black friday

Welcome to another ScrapMatters Blog Train! This is stop #5, so if you just got here, Sharon was #4 and you can check her blog out here. I'm out with the crazy masses :) shopping, so I'll have to check out the train when I get home. Also, make sure you stop by ScrapMatters . . . they are having a great sale.



If you spend $10, you get the Comfort & Joy kit free! It is a great kit. . . I used the kit to make some punchable tags to give away today. They are in an easy-to-print .pdf file, so if you want them, the link is below! They are sized to fit a circle punch 1.25" or bigger. I also think it's fun to layer them on bigger cardstock circles or scallops. Then I punch a little hole in them and tie them on gifts. I usually write who the gift is for on the back of the tag. Here they are:




Click on the image or click here if you want to download the tags.

Thanks for stopping by, and make sure you check out Wendy's blog next because she's stop #6!

Happy Black Friday!

This is a journaling tag I'm giving away on a blog post over at ScrapMatters. If you're interested, click here. The freebie is at the bottom of the post. Here's what it looks like:

This picture was taken almost exactly 5 years ago. I could still say the same thing about him today!

fry box template

My friend Jonna, who is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, showed me how to make these cute little fry boxes. I like to make them for the kids in my primary class for their birthdays. I created a digital template for them to make it a little easier. You can either print this template onto the wrong side of scrapbooking paper, then cut it out and assemble it. Or, you can use it as a clipping mask and use digital supplies, and print it out that way. Anyway, I've included instructions in the download on how to do it both ways, but if you have any questions, please let me know! (Click on the preview image to go to the download page.) Freebie time is up, but you can purchase the template here.

new FREE Jessica Sprague class

I have taken a few classes from Jessica Sprague and have loved them. So, I thought I would spread the word about a new class she's offering that's completely FREE (I love free stuff!):


If you want to read more about the class, go here. If you want to register for the class, go here and follow the instructions.
Oh, yeah, and Photoshop is not required for this class, so go register! :)
