Avril’s Family Tree Close up!

I love love love Monica’s Family Tree project! I would have never thought to use birds, but they are just beautiful and so creative!!

Speaking of Family, Our new sister site: ScrapFriends, is up and running after the server change and we are currently in the middle of our 3rd July Bash! We have contests and great prizes scheduled for every day this month, new how to’s to be posted soon, and even a new class that will be up a little later this month!
