Here's a Layout Using a Quote from My Book
I thought I would share a layout I created using a quote from my book, "Sporty Scrappin".
I used several different "techniques" on this layout, and I am quite pleased with the result.
I created "pockets" with the photo mats for the basketball teams pictures, leaving one side open. I slipped tags inside the pockets. I journaled on these tags. You can use these tags to add more pictures to your layouts, slip "memorabilia" in, or to journal in. This is such a neat and creative way to add more to your layout without making it look too "busy".
I also created word art using the quote from my book. I used several different fonts in my word art, however, you don't have to get fancy. By creating your own word art, you can use any quote or poem you like on your page. You don't have to limit your words to the pre-designed word art you find in stores. Also, by creating your own word art for your scrapbook pages, you will be assured that your work of art is completely original.

My New Favorite Storage Item ~ Pull-EZ
I just got a new storage tote, and am COMPLETELY in love with it!!! I don't know about you, but I have the hardest time keeping my ribbon situated. I don't use much ribbon on my scrapbook pages, but I do love to use the ribbon on my cards....so, here it is:
The new Pull-Ez ribbon holder can hold more than 200 ribbons at a time in a small compact space. It is intended for one to three yard lengths of ribbon, takes up just 10" of space and is flexible enough to squeeze into a tight space. The best part...the ribbons do not tangle when you pull one out!!!
I took my ribbon holder to a crop recently and had only a small space left in my tote bag, this thing folded in half and I could squeeze it completely flat. It was awesome!!! If you are like me and have a problem having something to store your ribbons in, this is for you. You can use this at home, and still pack it up quickly to take with you to a class or crop. It is awesome!!!
