Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a layout featuring Momenta cardstock and Art-C texture cream. ย My youngest played team handball at school this past year and I wanted to scrapbook the photographs the school took of the team.

Now that the Crazy Cat is quickly cut I can start the background.ย I used my Ranger Distress Ink to ink up my Upstream…
