Bonding Memories™ Glue

I thought I knew everything about Close To My Heart's Bonding Memories Glue. I use it all the time and love it's versatility to cover chipboard shapes, albums and adhering those little Cricut cuts to my pages. But, I learned something new watching this one minute video, and think you will, too!

Timberline Scouting Layouts

My two Cub Scouts have just crossed over to Bear and Webelo II. We have an endless supply of photos from camping, Blue & Gold Banquets, Crossover events and multiple other Cub Scout activities to scrap. Yes, the photos are mostly still on my computer, but I hope to get them printed and added to these layouts soon, per the Cub Scout motto: Do Your Best.

• Do Your Best, C1573
• Hopscotch Alphabet, E1028
• Flight of the Arrows, D1578
• Timberline Paper Packet, X7182B
• Timberline Complements, X7182C

Welcome to the Washi Tape Blog Hop! Thanks for coming from Lori's blog.

Okay, this is totally embarrassing, but I have misplaced EVERY SINGLE ROLL of my CTMH Washi Tape.

So, until I can find it, please enjoy this awesome video from CTMH...Pure Joy of Washi Tape!

Please send me luck to find my missing washi tape! And, don't miss the other amazing consultants who actually prepared artwork for this blog hop. :) If you get lost along the way, you can always find the full list of participating consultants here.
