It's a scrapbooking weekend.....

for me and Labor Day weekend. We did not have anything planned which was nice. No activities planned so that meant I got to scrap. Over at Thoughts 2 Paper these little suitcases were showcased the other day..I made one with a vacation theme and one for back to school theme.




Moving right along....over at the Bo Bunny Blog they are having a sketch contest and I decided to cut into my new Cambridge collection with this layout:

and then I had to do one more using the Cambridge Collection and I did it for the Sketch Challenge for Scrapbook Sussies:

Friday Share...

So when Corrie over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop sent me this kit.....
I was totally smitten,I love Sassafrass. This kit was just beautiful, and Corrie always does an amazing job of putting kits together. So if you have not checked them out head on over. There is always something going on over there on the blog (IE. sketch challenges, technique challenges) and just a heads up there will be a little blog crop coming up. So here are a few things I did this month with this kit....
