Heartfelt Thanks—Scrappin’ Your Faith

IMG_6321

I had a scrapbook party for a friend today and this is the page we did.  I’ve recently been inspired to really share my faith and values in my scrap booking so that my kids and some day, grand kids will be reminded of how much I loved the Lord.

This uses one of my favorite sets that is going to retire—---

The punch for this adorable alligator will soon be gone

6a00d8341d73f053ef011570a99113970b-400wi

If you love the punched animals that we did, you’ll love this alligator that I just found (by Angie Kennedy).

The clincher is this—the punch is the Key tag punch and it’s on the retiring list so get it now if you don’t have it!
