Yes, I know.  Two days in a row I'm showing you last month's projects.  What can I say?  Life got away from me!  So, here's what I made with my design team goodies from Just Let Me Scrapbook

I made this adorable 3×3 star book!  I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I think I'll be making a lot more of them!  It's three layers and a I cut a circle from the front layer so that the center (green) layer shows through!  Pretty cool looking!

StarBook-med 

This is one of my favorite techniques – writing in both black and white on a photo!

And finally, I made this layout…

J&K-sm 

I think it's one of my all time favorites.  I just love the way it turned out.  It was a lot of handcutting (gotta' love an exacto knife and a glass mat) but well worth the effort!

Finally, I had a bit of good news yesterday: I had two layouts (one paper and one digital) picked up for a Memory Makers book called "A Scrapper's Year."  Yay!

Thanks for stopping by!
