Scrapped! Episode 29 Grateful For

 



For the month of November the Scrapped! Theme is...
things you are Grateful For!

In this video I scrapped my kids at the ocean (both I am grateful for). I talk a lot about the "wall worthy" photos and the bloopers photos that make scrapbooking fun!!!



Here are the silly photos that usually don't make the cut for wall space but I am so grateful for! 
I love how playful my kids are with each other! 



Because I took photos at the beach I added some "beach" elements from the Notes & Totes Dies. 

Watch my full video!



Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
