ode to american crafts,,, as most of you know american crafts is one of my favs when it comes to over all scrapping, i use only their albums, mostly only their thickers and adore each and every one of their paper lines,,, recently they put out a design team call that i have been pondering over,,, i still havent decided if i wanna go for it {of course for fear of rejection},,, but non the less i thought i would share my top american crafts projects i have played with,,, and then think if i wanna try out or not,,, {im shy},,,

this mini was a class i taught last year. it was a fun project to put together and a great way to document a normal day in the life of my monkeys. i took pictures of everything we did that day, wrote down the times with the events and put it all together in a mini album. *document today*,,, i used the everyday line from american crafts,,,

i just taught a card class at my fav store in the whole, whole wide world and here are my two favorite cards from the class. i used the new american crafts teen linehere are a couple of fun layouts i used american crafts paper lines in. they were mostly for various challenges,,,
and then finally, these last two are pretty simple, mainly because i have an on-going project for my baby brother. i wanted to keep it fairly simple because he doesnt know any better {sorry, but its true},,, and because i have one million pictures of him so in order to keep things a rollin, i had to go kinda, sorta simple,,, so here is the first page,,, and another page from the album,,,
so there it is,,, whatcha think?? should i try,,, or not,,, should i try,,, or not,,, should i try,,,
