ScrapHooked

I'm not much of a scrap-booker. I collect scraps of special stuff and put it in a draw, box or even a ziplock bag. Sitting down and planning out a page with pretty (and surely expensive) paper, stickers and fancy tools sounds like too much pressure for me! 
In this case, my mind is changed forever.

Christopher Columbus?

My friend Amy, who I made the first apron for emailed me about making a costume. Her son, Ashton had a school project coming up and he needed to be Christopher Columbus.
