scrappy saturday+sunday 7/3

getting this one up a bit early!

papers- authentique,stickers-american crafts,labels-twogirlzstuff, punch- corner rounder, apron lace

all the papers here are from a new company called authentique. the roses are also patterned paper, i just hand cut them.

one of my favorite items were these sweet little word stickers. you'll notice i used them along the left side of the top photo:

but my FAVORITE paper is by far this one, which i am scared to touch. i need about a zillion sheets:

now for a bit about this page.

here's the journaling:

that sadie might look sweet, but don't you dare mess with her big sister.at the ymca one day, a "big girl" was bullying harper. telling her to shut up and that "babies cry, you're a crybaby!!".

sadie stepped in,pointed at the girl and said "HEY! YOU MEAN! BACK OFF!!!!".she might drive h crazy, but she's got her back.

i love this story and had to get it down ASAP. this story came out after we'd been home for a few hours and sadie told me a girl made harper cry at child watch. getting this story out of them took WORK. those two are tight lipped!

but oh does it make me happy that sadie took up for harper. thanks to jimmy for teaching her the term "back off". not sure how i feel about that. hahahah! but in this case? warranted.

i think they will truly treasure this story one day.

hope your sunday is beautiful!

How adorable! Sisters rule! Back off is a lot better than some things she could have said. She just called it as she saw it!

Okay....I guess my sarcasm was a tad off!! I should have just said "darn it" they aren't available yet to the general public:-) I hope I didn't offend you, not my intention at all. Seriously.....I was just really to whip out my wallet and order the ENTIRE line!!! I have a room full of supplies so I'm sure to survive until the release date.

Just had time to read this - and oh man, that Sadie - watch out for her. I'm so happy for you that you were able to put this story to paper so soon and not forget it! Some day, I really really really hope to meet all your girls.
