I covered these composition books for my kiddos.  I thought they turned out pretty cute.

It has been awhile since I have been on the ole blog. I have been working on my etsy shop - LambchopsCardsPlus I have added new items and changed the look. I love the owls!

I have also been working on some digital scrapbook pages. I still like the old way, but digital is soooo fast and easy. I got 34 pages done in just a few hours today. Smilebox is a huge help and has a lot of cute layouts. I am heading to a crop this weekend and am looking forward to getting a few more pages done.

Have a good night!
