Twin Mom Scraps Blog Anniversary!!!

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is the start of September...although the warm weather will (hopefully) be around for a little while yet it always makes me a little sad to see the end of summer....but one great thing about September this year is that Twin Mom Scraps is having a month long celebration!! Her blog is turning three!! Congrats to her!! She has lots of fun things planned and lots of freebies and great deals! So make sure you check it out all month long!!

One of the great activities that will be going on is a weekly layout challenge!! Tomorrow is the first one so make sure you head to her blog and check it out for a chance to win a $4 coupon to her store!! She will also be having a Daily Download for a FREE kit for the first 2 weeks of the month. 

Here is a layout that I have made using the kit you can get for FREE by simply going to her blog each day to pick up the pieces!! 

Lots of fun going on!!!

Happy Tuesday!
I have two adorable girls. My hubby is in need of a little boy...but until that happens he has had to make due with our daughters. Luckily for him our oldest loves to help him and work with his tools as well as with all his fun RC cars etc. So this kit by Twin Mom Scraps was perfect for the many times they get to 'work' together!

Here is a preview of the kit. It is available here. 

Here is the layout that I made using this kit. I used a template by Lilly Lane Market as my inspiration.

Pen Pals kit by Crafty Scraps

Hello!

Today I have a fun kit to show you that is all about letter writing! Now sadly, for many this is a lost art. With all the technology we just don't write letters anymore. Well, that is not true for children. My daughter loves to write letters (this may be partly because she can not actually write yet....). She has a very dear friend that moved away and she talks about her all the time so when I say this kit I knew it was perfect to scrap the letter that she recently sent to her friend.

Here is a preview of the kit available at Scrapbook Max.

Here is my page.
