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! :)
