Hello! I'm so glad you've stopped by for another Flashback Friday, where I attempt to use up some of my older crafting supplies, and dust off those retired Stampin' Up items. I have another scrapbook page this week.
A while back, my youngest was commenting about all of the pictures I still needed to scrapbook. In her ever optimistic mind, she thought if I had a whole weekend for scrapbooking, I could get caught up. Isn't that cute?! Not that I mind the idea of locking myself away for a weekend of crafting, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't even make a dent in the pages that need to be made. I might be able to get all of my printed photos scrapped, but then there are the hundreds of photos that are still on CDs that need to be printed. Such is the life of a shutterbug...
I have managed to squeeze in quite a bit of time this month to working on pages and I'm slowly getting them finished. Today's page has photos from 2008 and I had to smile at the sweet little faces! They don't look quite the same 5 years later!!
I hope you enjoyed today's post and that maybe you are inspired to catch up on your scrapbooking or use some of your older supplies. Have a wonderful weekend and happy crafting!
Page Recipe: Paper- yellow base from stash, whisper white, pacific point, Accessories-scallop square punch, jumbo sticky rounds, ice cream parlor ribbon (ret), really old red alphabet stickers

I used an old sketch that I've had for ages. I'm not even sure where it's from, but I loved the little scallop blocks for the title. It was also nice to use some older cardstock for my base. That pile is slowly getting smaller too! The original sketch had die cut style flowers, but since I've loaned out my Big Shot to my sister for a project, I made ribbon flowers instead. *I never realized just how much I use the Big Shot until it wasn't here!* Oh, and those red letters in the title? I can not even fathom a guess as to how long I've had them. I was a little surprised they were still sticky!
