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

I just got the Sizzix Crazy Cat dies so it was so great to not fussy cut. Now that the Crazy Cat is quickly cut I can start the background. I used my Ranger Distress Ink to ink up my Upstream…
