A Fun Sketch for You!

Hello Scrappy Shack followers and admirers. I hope everyone is having a great end to their summer or a great start to their school year. Yes, school year! Amazing huh? I can't believe school is starting either. If you are like me then school has been in session for almost two weeks now. Honestly I have been so busy I haven't been able to get any scrapping done. Things have settled down now though and I plan to get lots done this weekend. To inspire me and you to get out our scrappy stuff this weekend I created this sketch. I hope you like it and it inspires you to create something this weekend! - Sarah

Paper Crafts Magazine

Thanks to a fabulous blogger, Kimberly Crawford, two of my die cuts appear in the current issue of Paper Crafts!

Kimberly used the ABC Circle Frame to make this "for you Teacher" card. She did a great job!

She also used the Circles Lace on this "thanks" card.

This is the first time The Scrappy Shack's products appear in a national publication and I am very excited!

Kimberly is awesome - go check out her blog and see the cool projects she has for you to scraplift.

Aloha!

Just returned from two glorious weeks in Hawaii.
We got the opportunity to visit family and see the sights. Honolulu is my husband's hometown. Did I hit the jackpot or what? :)

Lacie enjoyed the beach and meeting family members for the first time.
We played tourist and did all the fun things Oahu had to offer.

We also visited some places Jay remembers from his childhood that are off the beaten path. And of course we went to a luau. Here Lacie is twirling poi balls like a pro.

This is the view from our balcony, or lanai as they say in Hawaii. We were literally steps away from a really great beach.

Of course going to the beach is the best part.

And the scenery is amazing.

And there are always cool things to look at!

Twinkle Out!

My little girl loves the Sesame Street character Abby Cadabby.
We took her to have her picture taken with her Abby doll and she wore her Abby cheerleading costume.
