JUST WANTED TO SAY "HI"

Hello to all my blogging friends.  I've had a crazy month or so.  I have sold my house, moved in with my daughter, son-in-law and grandkidlets!!  My favorite son-in-law in the whole wide world had a massive tumor removed from his chest this past Friday and will hopefully come home from the hospital today.  It is going to be a long recovery and that is why I'm here with them.  I'm so glad that I am able to help my family.  One day I will return to my paper crafting.

Make-It-Monday w/the Kraft Outlet

This week's word over at The Kraft Journal is "FAMILY".  We were challenged to make a project using kraft cardstock or a product from the Kraft Outlet.  I have had this 5 in. x 5 in. wood block tucked away for over a year and thought this would be the time to dust it off and use it for this challenge.  Of course I used photo's of my grandkidlets.  I think I met the rules of the challenge - FAMILY & Kraft cardstock.

Now for a look at all sides of the block............

what I used.............................

Kraft cardstock

Creative Imaginations paper

Creative Imaginations die cuts

ric-rak

buttons

bakers twine
