Patriotic 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

Today I'm sharing a 12x12 scrapbook layout with a patriotic theme with some great pictures of my boys from our trip to Vail, Colorado awhile back. Because I'm always behind scrapbooking, but that's ok as long as I'm still documenting our special trips. 

Tips: Don't fret if you're not current, I'm not either. lol. Just go at your own pace, document any way you went, whenever you want. I used to scrap chronologically and then I got bored. So, now I scrap in any order I want or any trip or occasion I want and I'm much happier. 

​I love this mix of patterns, simple cutting and layering, add a title, some bling, and a small journal card. And voila! ​A simple layout you can use for many occasions. For more details click here: http://mykraftkloset.weebly.com/blog/red-white-blue-patriotic-layout

One Sheet Wonder - Thank You Cards

 Happy New Year! I hope 2017 finds you happy, healthy, and crafty. And speaking of crafty I continue our family tradition of making "thank you" cards after the holidays. I was taught by my mom, who was taught by her mom, to send thank you notes for gifts. And it's my ongoing resolution to continue that tradition with all four of my kids too. Of course in today's day and age they would rather send an email note, which I think is better than nothing, but I prefer they do it properly. So, if I make the handmade cards then they will write a special note and sign them. See complete tutorial and supply list here: http://mykraftkloset.weebly.com/blog/one-sheet-wonder-thank-you-cards
