Happy New Year, and thanks for the chance

Kimmie said...

ya know everyone keeps saying this is the tool to have...and i dont have it...lol Thanks for the giveaway

Scrapacat said...

The story matters, period. And sometimes, to tell that story well, you need to customize your embellishments to match the story. I would love to have an I-top so I can include pieces of fabric from clothing I've sewn. It's more than just the photo of an outfit - it's remembering the texture, the color, the detail. Thanks so much for a chance to win one!

Abbey said...

What a fabulous layout ! I haven't seen that tool in the stores yet...but I haven't ventured very far either. I am a firm believer in "my story matters"....that is what keeps me going in creating the books for my daughter. I think being an older mom it gives me some insight that she might find useful one day....as far as being a mother and friend to others.

Unknown said...

MAN, I have been dying for one of these
