Life is Great Layout
by Ro Phillipsen



Halloween Layout
by Melinda Spinks

These tiny little cards and envelopes are just the cutest things and so easy to use for projects other than their intended purpose. I decided to place them on may layout as mini photo-frame for each of my three sweet children, and then flip the lids to reveal what really lurks beneath... their 'special' faces fit for Halloween.
Supply List: 3x3 Mini Stitched Cards - Limeade, Beetle Black, Tangerine; Haunted Manor - Night Owls, Ghost Town; Haunted Manor - Cardstock Stickers, Cardstock Frame Stickers; Doodle Twine - Halloween; Mini Pearls - Halloween Assortment; Mini Doodle Pops - Spidies, Wise Guys; Braddies - Spidies; Teensy Type Cardstock Stickers - Beetle Black, Lily White, Lilac; Expressions Rub-ons - Halloween.

    It's SO disappointing that you require a facebook account to enter, and that pinterest requires a facebook account also. Tens of thousands of us have left it due to security concerns.

    Info world reported: "(Facebook) agreed to pay huge fines for its latest privacy invasions and to be monitored for 20 years by the feds for future misbehavior.

    Really love the idea of using the 3x3 cards as hidden journaling/to hide additional photos. I pinned that layout: http://pinterest.com/pin/62980094759965241/

    Have shared. Yes, I agree. It's the reason why I joined up again, as I was sick of missing out on competition entries. Having said that, I've won nothing.
