Sale-a-Bration gives a chance to customers to receive exclusive products with every $60 qualifying order.

You Got This by Cathy Caines

September 4, 2017 No Comments

Hello Everyone – Cathy Caines here on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog. It’s the time of year when we say goodbye to summer. But in my teens, it also meant that I was saying goodbye to my friends and family as I set off to begin another school year away from home.

Sure, you’ll be poor and stressed out but everyone around you will be in the same boat. Tap into those around you and try hard to work on finding your true calling. The only way to do this is to think about what makes you happy. Good luck and always remember you can only do your best – nobody expects anything more.About a month ago a lady called me and said that…

The Impression Obsession stamp set is called ‘Watch the Leaves’. This is also a great quote to use on fall themed scrapbook layouts.I backed the stamped sentiment with burlap…
